Customer Reviews

Great but...

Creative and fun, but many stories are outdated... Still worth the price...

A Great Resource!

Spontaneous Melodramas is a great reasource for any church youth group! We love "acting out" these neat skits and we learn from them too. The skits are made so that youth groups of most any size can incorporate them. A great way to incorporate the youth. A great tool.

Hillarious Fun!!!

I have used this book many, many times and it never fails to get the teens attention, get them laughing, and enable the adult team to easily segway to the message of the night.

My Kids Love This Resource

Do you ever have one of those nights when you want to start your meeting off in a unique way but are out of ideas? This book could be the answer to your needs. In SPONTANEOUS MELODRAMAS, you find a treasure chest full of fun, group involving stories that drive home solid Biblical truths. With next to no preparation, this book can be brought into a youth meeting and get the kids excited! The book put a humorous spin on familliar Bible stories and offers fun interactive ways to learn. My students can't get enough of the silly skits and fun that this book proivides. We have also used this book to bridge the gap between adults and teens. We pulled it out at our last Thnksgiving banquet and even the "staunchist" elders we intears of laughter after watching the stories unfold. You will enjoy this resource and will keep it to use time and time again!

An AWESOME Youth Ministry Resource!!

This book is ideal for 5th graders and above. Even adults would enjoy some of these skits. We have used it extensively in our 5th and 6th grade youth group; with astonishing success.The skits are relevant, entertaining, humorous, and well written. They are easy and fun to perform, require almost no prep time, and use few props. The kids are exicted about the opportunity to be a part of the show. Our main challenge has been to distribute the "roles" evenly. Every kid in the group would like to be part of every skit!My only complaint...24 skits is NOT enough. Volume two is being eagerly anticipated.This is an awesome youth ministry resource. You'll be glad you added Spontaneous Melodramas to your collection.
