Introduction
Welcome to the Skit Book for Every Children's Ministry!
Sure, skits are a great idea! They make learning active and visual. They build relationships as kids and adults learn to work together. They brighten meetings with humor while driving home important points.
But only if your performers can act.
If your children's ministry is like most-that is, if your children aren't all movie stars and your volunteers aren't all Tony award winners-your experience with skits may be nothing to write home about. If your group is "theatrically challenged," you may find you're avoiding skits or relying entirely on canned, prerecorded puppet shows.
Your dilemma: Should you keep less-skilled kids and helpers off the stage, and make them feel left out? Or should you use everyone and limp through some ineffective and embarrassing efforts?
Fortunately, there's a third choice. It's Instant Skits for Children's Ministry!
Real Fun, Real Truths-for Real Children
What do you want in a skit? It's all here-from pratfalls to movie parodies. Want solid, Bible-based messages? They're here, too-covering important topics, such as forgiveness, entertainment choices, and being a Christian at school.
You'll get more than fun and truthful messages with Instant Skits for Children's Ministry, though. You get help with making each skit work.
Every script in this book has been prepared with real kids and helpers in mind. Instead of long speeches and big words, you'll find easy-to-read dialogue that helps kids play parts, too. And to give you maximum flexibility, each skit can be performed by live actors, puppets, or a combination of both.
Best of all, Instant Skits for Children's Ministry shows your actors and puppeteers how to draw the best possible reading-and the most meaning-from every line. Each script features simple facial-expression symbols to instantly show kids and adults how to put the right feeling into each line. We've also printed the words that should be emphasized in capital letters to beat the "monotone syndrome" and ensure that everyone catches key concepts.
The result? Skits that build confidence. Skits that let you cast almost anyone. Skits that cut mistakes to a minimum so the message can't miss. Skits that every child in the audience can understand-and remember.
Use Instant Skits for Children's Ministry in any of your children's programs-Sunday school, children's church, club meetings, vacation Bible school-whenever you want to make your point in a fresh, funny, memorable way. With each script you'll find Bible verses to read, related topics to explore, easy setup ideas, puppet options, discussion questions, and extra touches you might choose to add. You'll find so much, in fact, that you can turn each skit into a complete meeting of its own-if you want to.
And After the Skit?
Children's ministry doesn't end when the skit's over, so the skits in this book don't end there either. You can take advantage of the discussion questions provided in the To Talk About section to help your kids fully grasp and apply important truths addressed in the skits.
As you lead children in post-play pondering, remember that variety and interaction help to make discussion exciting. Use large groups, small groups, pairs, and trios. Try writing questions on table tennis balls and tossing them into the group. Have kids act out their answers as if they were playing Charades. The possibilities are endless!
A great skit can be one of your sharpest tools-if it works. Here's your chance to get more of that power off the page and into the hearts of your children where it belongs.
