On-line Resources
Christian sources listed first, followed by secular sources. There are many more, but I have found these to be helpful.
Website of John Walsh who has developed the whole Bible as story, testimonies, training events, Bible story downloads. A good source as you begin to use story.
Another John Walsh website devoted to help you tell Bible stories. He has indexed stories of the Bible with original text and options to hear the story on audio or watch a video of the story being told. Also has video with information on story insights and maps. Index is useful to find categories to organize your own story sets.
The Bible project is a non-profit organization devoted to developing visual storytelling. May download their videos for free from this website or view them on YouTube
