biblical puppets for teaching interfaith communication biblical puppets for teaching interfaith communication blog for the very young education through puppets grades 1 5 pre adolescents for adolescents alternatives work in progress scripts contact about this is an educational project aimed at teaching children from an early age to understand one another s religious orientation in the process it is hoped that they will also understand their own orientation more deeply and fruitfully there are options for the very young grades 1 5 pre adolescents adolescents for the very young abraham we are talking here about kindergarten and children of that age can only understand when they have concrete images when we speak of using puppets for this work we seldom mean a proper puppet show they don t really understand that yet it means telling the story using puppets which you may be holding on your lap you don t need to hide they are already fascinated by the puppet it works equally well if you use small figures dolls etc to illustrate the story it is perhaps a more elaborate form of picture book based on the same principles but interactive structure of a unit available units grades 1 5 primary school children are focused on learning primary skills the three r s but also interpretive skills when a mother reads a picture book to her child she teaches it to focus its attention to read the pictures to anticipate the next act of the story these are basic cognitive skills that will be developed as the child also learns to manipulate symbols so the units in this part of the program are structured to strengthen interpretive abilities rather than listening to the story we will ask the children to participate in producing it it is designed to be used in a workshop format usually project weeks but also in after school workshops as the story is learned the interpretation can be discussed how and why we tell the story correspondingly the stories chosen for this segment are more elaborate and fully developed esther it is a complicated story of intrigue and bravery she s a heroine and an early female role model she rescues her people there are villains for the boys to play and a flying messenger who carries the news far and wide team work is required and happens naturally joseph caravan comes to pull joseph out of the well this is a story muslim and jewish boys know well it is the hinge in the whole history of biblical times and our interpretation takes this into account it s longer than esther we usually use two sittings for it and it would probably be more suitable for the second slot i ve had extremely positive results using the story in various venues pre adolescents children of this age are on the cusp of developing their own identity beginning to discover that they can actively create their own space in the world so the two elements here focus on choice all children are facing this problem constellation at this age mary and martha service or contemplation which path to take can one define the options the prodigal son how can there be freedom if there is no way to undo a mistake how does that work adolescents now we are getting to the good stuff what is really real and how is it structured these units are conceived for use in inter faith community encounters puppets you say for adolescents yes there are communities which get together for a good will festivities and help each other in other ways this is a possibility to deepen the contact it is conceived as something the youth could develop and present at such an event entertaining the children and stimulating conversation amongst the adults the sermon on the mount and he spoke to them from a mountain a masterpiece of wisdom literature from a simple fisherman decipher and unpack it and you are half the way to wisdom yourself job guiltless suffering or are there other explanations as his friends suggest how can a just g d permit this why is there suffering in this world where is justice how do we deal with it kohelet ecclesiastes http www freebibleimages org illustrations solomon moody wisdom literature for maturing individuals how do we make decisions what is the point of it all you are not alone with these questions maybe the question is just as important as the answer puzzling over them creates community maybe our young will make progress along
