With "Teaching Kids the Fun Way", you can teach kids and entertain them at the same time. This book uses pre-written skits to help teach kids how to handle everyday situations. The fun part is that the kids actually perform the skits. This allows them to be more involved in the learning experience. Following each skit there are some questions to stimulate discussion about the topic. After the group discussion the instructor can give some tips on the proper way to deal with the situation. You can also add biblical principles to support your answer.

"Teaching Kids the Fun Way", is a great way to allow kids of all ages to express themselves. It allows them to use their imagination and helps them to develop acting skills. In addition, it introduces them to public speaking at an early age, while at the same time teaching simple things like common courtesy.  

This book can be used in schools, churches, camps, by youth leaders and anywhere you want to teach kids and have fun doing it.

Don’t Go With Strangers

Sometimes we meet people in life that appear to be nice and harmless. Even people that we are taught to rely on can sometimes be a danger to us. Just because people appear to be harmless doesn’t mean that they are harmless.

(For this skit, you will need three little girls between the ages of seven and ten. This skit starts with three little girls playing ball and talking. Suddenly, an adult lady walks up, and she is crying. The little girls all stop playing and look at her with sadness.)

Girl 1: (walking towards the lady) What is the matter?

Lady: I lost my dog, and I can’t find him anywhere.

Girl 2: A dog? What kind of dog?

Lady: A cute little white poodle. I opened my car door, and he ran out.

Girl 3: We didn’t see a poodle come this way.

Lady: Well, could you all help me find him? (The lady starts walking back the way she came.) I am sure that with all of us looking, we will find him in no time.

(Girl 1 starts walking towards the lady to help her.)

Girl 3: (speaking loudly to Girl 1) Wait! We can’t go anywhere. Our mother told us to never go with strangers.

(Girl 1 suddenly remembers what she was taught and begins to back up and stand with the other girls.)
