What To Do

Invite the children / young people to produce a play so that they can act out their ideas and views about something. It can be funny or serious, short or long. Encourage them to prepare a story board or script first so that they can remain focused and get their ideas across in each scene. This can be done in one session or over a period of time.

It can sometimes be good to act out the plays to a PCC or Synod as it is less intimidating than doing a presentation or to be asked random questions. It is also a fun and creative way of getting their points across.

Do It Differently

If this activity is done in small groups, it is good to watch the finished play together to identify any common themes or ideas.
