Drew is obseessd with getting his hair to look perfect to impress people at school, but Jamie explains that God isn't impressed with our outside, but wants us to look good on the inside.

All Access Noah

Two 'fun' ventriloquism (or puppet) skits are shared concerning Noqh's ark.

Noah's Ark
All Access NOAH'S GREAT ANIMAL ARK

In the summer, we have a puppet show the third graders practise and put on for the first and second graders. We use a table that has been turned over, a light-blue felt cloth (covers the table, taped down) and card-board props for certain items, like a huge Sun with Sun-glasses for God, a raven, a dove, the Ark (takes up the top part of the table), and waves of water. We use velcro on the back on these items to hold them on the felt. The Narrator sits in the audience and the script is taped to the underside of the table, so that all the characters can see it. Each character has a copy of the script also. We use puppets for the animals and Noah and his wife. The third graders end up knowing a great deal about the Flood and the audience really enjoys the show!
