Stories for Interactive Assemblies

Stories for Interactive Assemblies by Nigel Bishop was published by Barnabas in September 2006 and is our 9562nd best seller. The ISBN for Stories for Interactive Assemblies is 9781841014654.

"Stories for Interactive Assemblies" contains fifteen vibrant retellings of popular parables, such as "The Two Builders and The Official who Refused to Forgive". But these are retellings with a difference. Primary children of all ages will recognise themselves and their classmates in the stories and relate to the essence of the parable.

Each story is followed by suggestions for questions, designed to get the children thinking and talking about some of the issues raised by each one. Each assembly outline is topped and tailed by a theme to help direct the teacher towards the main teaching objective of the story, and a prayer or reflection and suggested song to close the assembly if desired. Each unit also contains a teacher's page giving the Bible reference for the original parable and information to link the teaching to PSHE/Citizenship and the National Framework for RE or local SACRE guidelines.
