Bible Blast Videos
Bible Blast videos are played in the Bible Blast workshop, and after each video, questions should be asked about the story to help the children expand on what they know, and remember what they learn better. You can also do your own drama in this session before the questions, but videos are good if you don't have enough people or ideas on how to act.
