Greetings in the name of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. If you are like me, you are probably tired of forking
out a lot of money for curriculum that is just
not worth it !!! I know that many of you have good ideas
and quality programs, but you need some new and
fresh ideas to use every once in a while. God has put on my
heart to write down some of the best ideas we have had in the past 15 years,
to pass them on to others. Jesus said, "Freely ye have received, freely
give", and being the God didn't charge us for the ideas He gave, we aren't
going to charge, but give to others what He has given to us.
We also suggest, and ask that you come
up with your own names in the place of the names you will find on the following
pages. This will allow for your Children's Church to be unique,
and fitted to your own personalities and characters. If every church had
a puppet with the same name, yet they all looked and sounded different,
this would seem strange to a child who might visit your church on one particular
Sunday.
If you have enjoyed this curriculum, please
feel free to duplicate it and give
it to others. This ministry's purpose is to get kids to Jesus, and to get
the words of Jesus to the kids. Also, if you have any ideas you would like
to share, please send them in, and we gladly will pass them on.
Peter says in II Peter 1:12-15 that he
continually put the people in remembrance of God's truths even though they
already knew them and were established in those truths, so that when he
would go on to be with the Lord, the people would have those truths firmly
and deeply rooted in their minds. In the same way, we in the Children's
Ministry need to continually put our kids in remembrance of Jesus and His
truths, even though they think they
know it all and are established in those truths, so that when they leave
our Sunday School, they will always have these truths firmly and deeply
rooted in them, and be able to stand strong in the faith of their Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
If you have found this curriculum helpful,
or if you haven't, please email us and let us know what you think. Your
opinion is not only desired, but needed. clunky@fishersofkids.com
Now, God bless you as you minister unto
God's children.

JOSHUA
Joshua skits are family situation
skits, with a little boy named Joshua, who is just like any other Christian
boy or girl you might know. He loves God with all of his heart, and he
knows the Bible, but just like all little children, he needs to learn to
do what the Bible says. Joshua is a little kid, and therefore helps the
kids in your class to relate with what you are teaching. Josh, Sis, and
Billy (Josh's friend) all talk wike wittow kids (like little kids) and
Billy always spits when he says a word that has a letter "P" in it.
Again, we ask that you not use the names:
Joshua, Sis, and Billy, but come up with names unique to your Sunday School
or Children's Church. It is best that the same people play the same parts.
Don't have one person play Josh one week, and then someone else who rotates
in your class the next week. In time, you will really enjoy doing these
skits. The longer you work together as a team, the more fun it becomes
as you begin to know and flow with each other better.

FAITHFULNESS (6:7)
Josh
and Billy come out playing. Sis then comes out with a birthday invitation
in her hand, excited about a birthday party for a friend that they have
been invited too. She tells them, “And the best part is that the
party is at The Fun Palace, and you know what they say about the Fun Palace,
(they all say it at the same time) ‘It’s the funnest place on earth.’”
Josh and Billy are excited and ask Sis when the party is. Sis tells
them next Thursday night. Josh then says, “Are you sure it is next
Thursday night?” Sis says yes. Josh then says, “Rats, Billy
and I can’t go.” Billy says, “What do you mean, ‘Billy and I can’t
go?’, talk for yourself.” Josh reminds Billy that next Thursday is
the day their scout group is supposed to go to the nursing home, and sing
for the old people and do chores around the building.” Sis says,
“But you can do that anytime, the party is only on Thursday and, (Billy
joins in) ‘It’s the funnest place on earth!!!’” Josh says that he
would really like to go, but that he will have to think about it first.
Billy and Sis leave to decide what to get their friend for the birthday
party, when Mom comes out. Josh is sitting on the stage, pondering
what to do when Mom comes over and asks him what he is thinking about.
Josh tells her his dilemma and Mom asks him, “What does your heart tell
you to do?” Josh tells her, “My mind tells me to go and have fun
at The Fun Palace, but my heart tells me that I made a commitment, and
that I should go to the nursing home.” Josh then looks at Mom and
says, “But I don’t want to go to the nursing home.” Mom tells Josh,
“I will support whatever you decide. As a Christian though, when
you give your word, you need to keep it even though it hurts. Sometimes
in life you have to do things that you don’t want to. Jesus didn’t
want to suffer and die a horrible death, but he did it because he loved
us.” Josh tells Mom, “You are right. I made a commitment and
I am going to stick with it even though it will probably kill me … emotionally
speaking.” Mom pats him on the head and tells him she is proud of
him. Mom and Josh leave.
Someone
comes out with a sign that says (Day of the Party).
Sis
and Billy come out with toys they won at The Fun Palace. Josh walks
in with dirt all over and looking sweaty. Billy and Sis begin to
tell Josh about all the fun that he missed and then ask what he did at
the nursing home. Josh says, “Well, first I sang some solos for the
old people, and then…” Billy interrupts him, “Why did you sing solos?”
Josh says, “Everyone in the scout group went to The Fun Palace.”
Billy says, “Not everyone, you didn’t.” He starts to laugh with Sis.
Josh then tells them that he and Mr. Johnson mowed the entire lawn, and
then planted new flowers. Billy and Sis laugh more at Josh.
Mom comes in talking on the phone and tells the person on the other side,
“Hold on one minute and I will ask him.” Mom then tells Josh, “It
is Mr. Johnson on the phone, and he said that you forgot to get your “Faithfulness
Badge” for scouts.” Josh tells her that he will get it from him next
week. Mom then says, “He also heard about how you gave up your chance
to go to The Fun Palace and wants to know if you would like to go to Disney
World with his family next month during spring break?” Josh says,
“I will have to ask my mom. Can I?” Mom says, “I think it will
be OK.” Mom then tells Mr. Johnson that Josh would love to go, and
then tells him that she will call him back and find out more details later.
Mom hangs up and then asks Josh, “Doesn’t Mr. Johnson have the daughter
named Sarah who you think is pretty Josh blushes. Billy begins to
pat him on the back saying, “You deserve it Josh. You were the only
one who did the right thing.” Sis then begins to whine, "Josh gets
to go the Disney World? This is so not fair, Josh gets EVERYTHING."
Everyone leaves with Billy razzing Josh about his new girl friend.
