We once used a Bible program that often had the participants act out or draw out (or something - playdough, puppets,...) for most of the stories. I really liked the idea of it but we always seemed to get bogged down in it. Just making the 12 sons of Abraham..... whew! hehe
One thing that helped me was making a timeline. We'd always put the story or character on the timeline. Our timelines included Bible characters, historical events right up to their birth... or now, Hurricane Sandy! We put books and art and music on it.
Anyways..... glad she's able to visualize the story in that way. May she be thoroughly blessed in God's Word.
