Involve children in worship and learning. Unwrapping Little Gifts
gives you some basic principles, a few tools, and 30 short dramas useful in
Children’s Liturgy of the Word, children’s liturgies or
catechesis. The skits are divided into sections based on themes: love,
thanks, justice, (w)holiness, sharing, Advent/Christmas, Lent/Easter and
Hispanic culture. Each skit lists its own particular themes, Scripture
references, setting, props, characters, songs and handouts. The handouts
— most of which come ready to photocopy and cut out —
reinforce each skit’s Gospel message.
