Celestial Visiting Teaching
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 03/09/2006 - 1:00amBasically, 3 sisters act out short parts as Telestial, Terrestrial, and Celestial Visiting Teachers. Hilarious! Can be done with as few as 3 people, up to as many as you want. Requires very few props and no costumes (unless you want to have some adults dress up in children's clothing). The Telestial Visiting Teacher might also be in her pajamas.

Fold the flaps, and fold along the walls, floor, and ceiling to form a box.
