Puppet shows are a brilliant way of sharing stories across age generations, once all the kids are on the mat and paying attention, all the adults are also on the edge of their seats, anticipating something creative that will draw them in and touch their lives as well! I have seen children’s talks and puppet shows tell amazing biblical truths in fun and simple ways, so I think that this approach can tell stories and communicate values well.
The other aspect that can do this is: Banners and art work in churches – I have seen some cringe worthy efforts in a lot of churches, bright rainbows etc, that really just put me off, but I have seen banners once or twice communicate a story – in my old church, one Sunday morning, we all put our hands in paint and then on a huge canvas, spelt out CPAC: which is Churton Park Anglican Church and also: Connecting People and Christ, it summed up the unity of the church and the vibrancy of the place in vivid color, every time people see it (which is weekly as it hangs over the alter), they are reminded of their place in the story of the local church and in the story of God.
