Our faith stories have been passed down from generation to generation, and entrusted to us to share in fresh and interesting ways that make an impression.  You'll find here a wealth of practical possibilities for telling and reviewing these stories to the young and old.

These easy-to-use techniques require very simple materials; for some you need only a Bible and your imagination. Each technique can be used for multiple purposes: to teach a prayer, to tell the story of a saint, or to enjoy a Scripture story in a new way. For each teaching technique there is a list of materials needed, a clear description of the technique, and examples of how to use it.

100 Creative Techniques for Teaching Bible Stories is a treasure chest of fun ideas and activities. It is an ideal resource for catechists and religion teachers as well as for those preparing liturgies, summer programs, and intergenerational activities.
