Freeze Frame - A Storytelling Convention


This storytelling convention great for Bible stories with a lot of action.

Basically, you have kids come on stage act out the story. You call out "FREEZE" at key moments and the actors stop in their tracks. At this point, you ask the audience what they think happens next. You can also trade out the volunteers for new ones from the audience too. 

Give the audience multiple choice options and create teams to create tension.

Every time "FREEZE" is called, cue some fun music and make it like a game show.

This is an easy and low-budget way to make a Bible story interactive and fun! 



-- When writing this script, make sure you pay special attention to ACTION words. Remember, the kids are looking to the narrator for cues on what to do and how to act!
