Puppets of Bible Characters

Few activities will help children become familiar with Bible stories as will puppets. Puppets not only compel kids to learn Bible stories in order to act them out; they also provide special opportunities for children to put themselves in the roles of the Bible characters they play. In most if not all of these activities, background scenes are provided.
