Saturday, November 14, 2009 -  9:00 to 9:45AM

We have four fantastic workshops for you this year, but you’ll have to choose, because they all happen at 9:00AM on Saturday, November 14th. And you’ll have to choose quickly, because there are only 25 slots in each. They offer a range of storytelling skills truly lacking in today’s passive, ‘watch-it-happen’ pop culture: How to fracture a fairy tale...how to get kids to lie well...even how to make Sunday School lessons more memorable. We’re talking active, interactive, fun and exciting storytelling skills. And, of course everyone has a story! (See Kim Weitkamp.)  Best of all, each workshop is free. Sign up today, and live happily ever after.

Workshop 1

Getting Kids to Lie Well - Bil Lepp

Workshop 3
Everyone’s Got One! - Kim Weitkamp
So you love listening to storytellers and you think to yourself..."Hey, maybe I have a story to tell!" Well, you do. Everyone has one. This workshop will help you find that story, construct it, and tell it in an engaging way. Learn about memory mapping, the story box, and basic telling skills. This workshop is great for people wanting to cultivate personal stories and for storytellers at any level. (Free)

Workshop 4
The Art of Storytelling for Sunday School Teachers - Michael Forestieri
Michael teaches lay educators an easy, step-by-step process for building lessons using stories. You’ll leave with an incredibly useful, practical, and fun toolbox of ideas you can use the very next day to make your lessons even more memorable. (Free)
