Narnia Version of "Guess Who?"
A few years ago I made a Chronicles of Narnia version of the game Guess Who? for my kids. Have you ever played this game? The object is to guess the name of the other person through a process of elimination.
For our Narnia version, I drew pictures of various characters from all the books, colored them, made color copies, laminated them and then cut them out and slid them in over the original Guess Who? faces.
Emma and Joshua Quinn loved it. Instead of only asking questions like "Does your person have black hair?" you can ask questions like, "Is your person a human? Is your person a talking beast? Is your person one of the Pevensie kids?"

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.

That's awesome! What are the chances that, for the non-artists among us, you could scan the drawings and put up a .PDF so we can make our own?

Talk about raising the bar for the Dads out there. Josh you're a wonderful father...no doubt your kids will treasure the creative ways you show them you love them.

I think you're onto something... What a cool idea! If you ever decide to market this (in any way/shape/form) I'm sold. :-)

This is so cute! My six year old brother would go bonkers over this. Actually, my 16 year old brother would too :) I'm with Eric. What are the chances of you uploading a PDF so that we can make our own?

That is really neat! Sounds like a lot more fun than the original.

Soo... why did you need someone to do caricatures? These are fun.

I teach Sunday school and am always looking for newer ways to get kids engaged in what they are learning.
Thanks for sharing this! May God continue to bless you.
