I was attempting to do this with my 2nd grade Sunday school students. They loved the read through, even my challenging kids were engaged. Unfortunately, we went through it one week, assigned parts. Week 2 several of those kids were absent and others who had not been there showed up. After trying a new read through, I determined it wasn’t going to work. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t enough time. It was also a bit challenging for the students (just challenging enough, but going through explaining took time that we didn’t have). It is a cute show and hopefully one day I will be able to do it.
