Here are a few more drama ideas for teaching Bible stories:

• A Talk Show host interviewing people from the story.
• A helicopter reporter flying in over the Valley of Elah where Goliath is standing.
• Pantomine a "Silent Movie" version of the story as it's read by others, or while a video of the story is played in the background. Or play a video clip with the sound turned off and the actors standing by the side of the screen trying to say the lines of the video. Use different teams to see which team remembers most of the key lines in the story.
• "Can you guess the scene in the video?" game ---Watch a video and then rewind to different parts so that only the "players" can see what's on the screen. Have the players act out that scene and see who can guess and explain what scene they're acting out, and what the characters are talking about. This is a lot of fun, and very memorable.
• Shadow puppets moving behind a backlit screen to narration.
• Shadow actors backlit behind a white cloth (with others doing the reading and special effects).
• A News Reporter interviewing people at the Scene of the Story.
• A "Readers Theater" drama presentation of the script (learn more)
• Record a Radio broadcast (with sound effects) from Jericho reporting the arrival of Jesus. (Use your cellphone's recording capability.) You can do this fully scripted, Or have only the dramatic reporter using simple lines that cue the other players to act and say things, such as, "I can hear the crowd start to murmur."  And "now they're starting to accuse Zaccheus of being a bad guy."  The kids respond to the narration and do their own sound effects. You can also record using a laptop with a built-in microphone. Play back for fun and great discussion.
• A "dance version" of the story where people have to dance through their part. A dinosaur or bird version of the story where each character has to move like a dinosaur or bird.
• A mixed-up characters version, where each person has a secret identity that they must act like and modify their scripted lines to match their character (you're a cop, you're afraid, you're an alien, you're a talking monkey).
• A "frozen statues version" of the story where the kids form the scene then someone reads it while the actors stay frozen.
• Slow motion Ninja movie version of Mary and Joseph coming to 'extract' Jesus from the Temple
• Change the disciples to super heroes. Peter the Hulk tries to walk on water with Jesus. Hulk Splash!
• The Avengers show up at the cross to try to rescue Jesus, but Jesus explains why they must let him die. What would Iron Man say when he flew into the scene to offer Jesus help? What would Jesus say?
• Yell "freeze" and walk up to a frozen actor to ask them "what are you thinking about right now? Are you mad or happy with your prodigal brother?"
