The play introduction

In 2010, I wrote a play called The Wolf and the Saint, the Life of St. Francis of Assisi as Told by The Wolf of Gubbio.  In early August of that year, I led a Vacation Bible School at St. James Anglican Church, Vancouver, BC, Canada.  We had only about half a dozen children there, ages 4 to 12.
Our Vacation Bible School ran for 5 days, morning to noon.  I asked volunteers to come in and serve the children breakfast, and then again give them lunch.  This was because, the previous year some children came and brought muffins, others came with nothing to eat, and it seemed simpler to give them their meals at the church--that way, everyone had the same thing.
After breakfast, the parish priest led a simple prayer and Bible reading opening, and then I got them for about half an hour to work on the play.
The play has four acts, so we did one act a day and performed it for parents on the fifth day.
After our half hour reading and acting out the act, the children then moved on to a crafts table where another volunteer helped them make puppets for the play.  Then, they had an activity that let them run and work off some of their energy before the priest led them in a closing prayer and they had lunch.  Sometimes parents joined them for lunch.
