If you ate up the previous two best-selling volumes of Drama Skits And Sketches, you're going to really dig this next batch.

The Ideas books set the pace for 20th-century youth ministry. Now they're updated for 21st-century youth groups and reorganised from the inside out from busy youth workers who need the perfect idea, and need it now.

With 54 brand new, youth group-tested exercises and the help of the scenarios in Drama Skits And Sketches, you can discuss important issues with pizzazz...present Bible stories with humour...and add serious significance to your lessons. Use them any way you'd like - whether as fun, informal, no-prep reader's theatre or as guides for seriously polished performances!

- Scripture Sketches...designed to supplement your Bible teaching - and add flesh and bones to already powerful Bible stories - your students will love acting out scenarios such a 'Community Kitchen,' 'Recipe for a Quiet Time,' and 'As the Cookie Crumbles; The Search for Fig-nificance.' (And we've provided an index that lists scripts according to Bible reference - quite the handy tool as you prepare specific lessons!)

-Contemporary Sketches...These 21st-century skits will hit your kids where they live, using terms, imagery, and situation they're intimately familiar with. Looking to beef up a topic for the evening - or even add some spice to announcements? Try on 'Can O'Blame,' 'Backward Lip Sync Contest,' and 'American Master' for size.

- TV Takeoffs...These humorous sketches based on television programmes are great for lively discussion starters or as openers at camps and conferences.

- Times Of Crisis...Here are scripts that deal with tough issues and tough times. And while many discuss crisis in a lighthearted manner, their themes will grab your students' attention and prepare them for some excellent dialogue.

- Monologues...Time for one kid in your group to shine! These scripts require little or no costumes or props, but they can be as powerful as an ensemble cast's three-act play!

Plenty of skits and sketches here - serious, spiritual, educational, and humorous - to keep your group learning and having fun for months, Drama Skits And Sketches 3 is perfect for youth leaders, camp counsellors, Sunday school teachers, and recreation directors!
