The Inspiration for Old Testament Plays
When I was working with the 10-11 year olds in Primary, my group was patricularly theatrical.  I took advantage of that fact, and had them re-enact the scripture stories that tied into our day's lesson. I then decided to expand the list and make it available for others to use...just in case their classes wanted to be as involved as mine.
