Edword is
a puppet who likes to try and help tell the Bible story, but never seems
to get it right. He always seems to appear at the time of the Bible story,
and consequently asks if he can help out. Though he thinks he knows all
of the stories by heart, he is always goofing them up, which gives you
a good opportunity to tell him, and the children, how it really goes. When
Edword begins to ramble on, have the children get his attention by saying
"Edword,
Edword,
Edword!!!"
Then you
straighten him out.
This is especially good for
those stories that may be hard to understand. Edword will not understand
them either, so you have a fun way of explaining to him (though actually
to the children) what is meant in that particular story. This is also good
for those Bible stories that all of the children think they have heard
one hundred times, and don't need to hear again. Edword will goof them
up, or may ramble on at times while telling the story, making it funny,
but giving you a chance to tell it. You may even have the children help
him out. |
