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.

NERDS
Nerd skits are my
favorite skits, as well as the kids'. They are skits where you can
just be silly, and have fun, yet the kids will learn a ton. Most
of the Nerd Skits are in two different formats, Modern Day Bible Stories,
and skit series.
Modern Day Bible stories are
just that, we dress as Nerds, and have rewriten the bible story to modern
times. This is a fun, and powerful way to reinforce the Bible story
in our lesson.
The others are a series of
skits to show the meaning behind a concept. We normally do the skit
four times, three times incorrect (or what not to do), and the last one
correct (what to do). One of the ways of learning, is to find out
what not to do, the negative. God uses the negative often.
Eight of the ten have the words thou shalt not. The Bible is filled
with negative stories, that God uses to teach us what is correct.

PATIENCE (6:5)
(You will need a narrator, two nerds, and
a table full of stuff to.)
The narrator comes out and tells the kids
that they are going to watch four skits on patience. He then introduces
skit number one.
Skit 1:
Nerd A walks out and sets up a table with
stuff he is trying to sell. Nerd B walks out and looks at the stuff
on the table and sees something he likes, and asks Nerd A if he has it
in a different color (example: he sees a pair of black sun glasses, and
asks if he has a pair in red) Nerd A tells him, "I don't know, but
I can look in the back." Nerd B looks at the kids, rolls his eyes,
and then looks back at Nerd A and says, "Well if you don't know, who should
I ask? I don't have time to stand here and wait all day if you don't
know." Nerd B then leaves.
The narrator says freeze, and the nerds
come to a complete stop as the narrator asks the kids questions about the
skit. The narrator asks the kids if that was a skit on patience,
and why it was not. (It wasn't because he wouldn't even wait for
him to look.) The narrator tells the kids that he is going to rewind
the skit and see if they can do it right. The narrator says rewind,
and the nerds act like they are rewinding the last skit in fast motion.
He then introduces skit number two.
Skit 2:
Nerd A finishes setting up his table when
Nerd B walks out and asks Nerd A if he has a pair of glasses in red instead
of black. Nerd A tells him he will look. Nerd B starts to whistle,
looks at his watch, sighs loudly, and then complains that he doesn't have
all day. He grabs the black glasses and puts down his money on the
table and tells Nerd A that he doesn't have time to wait any more.
As he leaves, Nerd A comes up excited that he found a pair of glasses in
red.
The Narrator says freeze, and then asks
the kids if that was a skit on patience, and why it was not. (It
wasn't because instead of waiting to see if he had a pair in red, he took
the black pair of glasses.) The narrator tells the kids that he is
going to rewind the skit and see if they can do it right. The narrator
says rewind, and introduces skit number three.
Skit 3:
Nerd A finishes setting up his table when
Nerd B walks out and asks Nerd A if he has a pair of glasses in red instead
of black. Nerd A tells him he will look. Nerd B then begins
to "wait" but makes faces and is constantly looking at his watch and rolling
his eyes. Nerd A looks up and tells him he is still looking, and
Nerd B smiles sarcasticly. Nerd B comes up with the red glasses,
and Nerd B sighs loudly, complains he is now going to be late, pays Nerd
A for the glasses and leaves.
The Narrator says freeze, and then asks
the kids if that was a skit on patience, and why it was not. (It
wasn't because even though he "waited", he did it inpatiently.) The
narrator tells the kids that he is going to rewind the skit and see if
they can do it right. The narrator says rewind, and introduces skit
number four.
Skit 4:
Nerd A finishes setting up his table when
Nerd B walks out and asks Nerd A if he has a pair of glasses in red instead
of black. Nerd A tells him he will look. Nerd B says, "No rush."
Nerd A looks for a couple seconds, then looks up and smiles whimpishly
telling Nerd B that he is still looking. Nerd B tells Nerd A not
to worry, and then politly asks Nerd A if he can give him a hand.
Nerd A says yes, and the two of them look and find the red glasses.
Nerd A then says, "If you like these, I have an even cooler pair back in
the back." Both nerds leave.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit on patience, and why it was. (It was because he not only waited,
but waited cheerfully and even offered to help.)

FOLLOWING GOD (6:1)
(You will need a narrator and two nerds.)
The narrator comes out and tells the kids
that they are going to watch four skits on following God. He then
introduces skit number one.
Skit 1:
Nerd A comes out and tells the kids that
he is going to be teaching Nerd B how to be cool like him, "Nerd B idolizes
my suave and sophisticated coolness, and wants to grow up to be like me."
He combs his hair and says, "Can you blame him?" He then begins waiting
for Nerd B. Nerd A tells the kids that he was supposed to meet Nerd
B here five minutes ago. He waits some more, but then finally leaves
saying, "In order to be cool like me, the first thing he needs to do is
buy a watch, and show up on time."
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit on following God, and why it was not. (It wasn't because no
one even showed up to follow him.) He then introduces skit number
two.
Skit 2:
Nerd A comes out and tells the kids that
he is going to be teaching Nerd B how to be cool like him, "Nerd B idolizes
my suave and sophisticated coolness, and wants to grow up to be like me.
Can you blame him?" Nerd B shows up and Nerd A tells Nerd B
that in order to teach him, Nerd B will have to follow and do everything
he does. Nerd A asks Nerd B if he is ready, and Nerd B says, "Yes,
please show me, oh great master of suaveness, how I can be like you."
Nerd A then says, "The first thing we need to do is to get you dressed
correctly." Nerd A then pulls Nerd B's pants way up high, and puts
a jacket, hat, and glasses with tape similar to the jacket, hat and glasses
Nerd A is wearing. (Nerd B now looks like Nerd A.) Nerd A says,
"Excellent. You are looking suave and cool, now we need to work on
how you walk and talk. Now remember, you must do exactly as I do."
Nerd A then begins to talk loudly (Nerd A has a high pitched, nasally voice),
but Nerd B talks softly. Nerd A then talks softly, but Nerd B talks
loudly. Nerd A says, "No no no no." Nerd B says, "Yes yes yes
yes." Everything Nerd A says and does, Nerd B does the opposite.
Nerd A then starts to walk out saying, "If you want to be cool and suave
like me, then you need to follow me and do exactly what I do. Come
on, lets go." Nerd B shrugs his shoulders, and walks out the opposite
direction. Nerd A walks back out on stage and says, "Are you coming?"
Nerd B says yes. Nerd A leaves and Nerd B leaves the opposite direction.
We here Nerd A sighing out loud as he leaves. We also hear Nerd B
sigh out loud as he leaves, and Nerd A yells, "Oh sure, now you do what
I do."
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit on following God, and why it was not. (It wasn't because he
did just the opposite.) He then introduces skit number three.
Skit 3:
Nerd A comes out and tells the kids that
he is going to be teaching Nerd B how to be cool like him, "Nerd B idolizes
my suave and sophisticated coolness, and wants to grow up to be like me.
Every one does." Nerd B shows up and Nerd A tells Nerd B that
in order to teach him, Nerd B will have to follow and do everything he
does. Nerd A asks Nerd B if he is ready, and Nerd B says, "Yes, please
show me, oh great master of nerditum, how I can be like you." Nerd
A says, "I'm not a nerd." Nerd B then corrects himself and says,
"I meant to say, master of coolness." Nerd A then says, "Excellent.
The first thing we need to do is to get you dressed correctly." Nerd
A then pulls Nerd B's pants way up high, and puts a jacket and hat similar
to the jacket and hat Nerd A is wearing. (Nerd B now looks like Nerd
A.) Nerd A says, "Excellent. You are looking suave and cool,
now we need to work on how you walk and talk. Now remember, you must
do exactly as I do." Nerd A then starts to yell. Nerd B yells
the same thing but 1/2 heartedly. Nerd A then jumps up and down.
Nerd B jumps up and down too, but only 1/2 heartedly. Nerd A acts
very excited. Nerd B acts excited, but only 1/2 heartedly.
Nerd A then starts to walk out saying, "If you want to be cool and suave
like me, then you need to follow me and do exactly what I do. Come
on, lets go. I see I have a lot of work to do on you." Nerd
A then leaves. Nerd B leaves also, but very slowly and way behind.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit on following God, and why it was not. (It wasn't because he
only followed him 1/2 heartedly.) He then introduces skit number
four.
Skit 4:
Nerd A comes out and tells the kids that
he is going to be teaching Nerd B how to be cool like him, "Nerd B idolizes
my suave and sophisticated coolness, and wants to grow up to be like me."
He pulls out a mirror to look at himself and says, "I can understand why."
Nerd B shows up and Nerd A tells Nerd B that in order to teach him, Nerd
B will have to follow and do everything he does. Nerd A asks Nerd
B if he is ready, and Nerd B says, "Yes. Please show me, oh great
master of suave cool intelligence and smoothness, how I can be like you."
Nerd A blushes then says, "The first thing we need to do is to get you
dressed correctly." Nerd A then pulls Nerd B's pants way up high,
and puts a jacket and hat similar to the jacket and hat Nerd A is wearing.
(Nerd B now looks like Nerd A.) Nerd A says, "Excellent. You
are looking suave and cool, now we need to work on how you walk and talk.
Now remember, you must do exactly as I do." Nerd A yells out loud
(Nerd A has a high pitched nasally voice). Nerd B yells the same
thing with the same loud high pitched nasally voice. Nerd A laughs
with a snort. Nerd B laughs with a snort. Nerd A then jumps
up and down like a nerd. Nerd B stands right next to Nerd A and jumps
up and down just like Nerd A.
Nerd A says, "Good."
Nerd B says, "Good."
Nerd A says, "OK, stop."
Nerd B says, "OK, stop."
Nerd A says, "Serious, stop."
Nerd B says, "Serious, stop."
Nerd A says, "Excellent!!!"
Nerd A then tells Nerd B to follow him.
Nerd B walks right behind Nerd A. Nerd A turns to look for Nerd B,
but can't see him cause Nerd B turns with him. Nerd A looks left
and right, but so does Nerd B. He then turns his head around and
says you don't have to follow that closely. Nerd B then turns his
head around and says, "you don't have to follow that closely." Nerd
A says, "Excellent." Nerd B says, "Excellent". Both nerds leave.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit on following God, and why it was. (It was because he followed
him and did every thing he did.)
43.
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS
(You will need a narrator, two nerds, a
computer keyboard and an extension cord.)
The narrator comes out and tells the kids
that they are going to watch four skits on following directions. He then
introduces skit number one.
Skit 1:
Nerd A comes out carrying a keyboard and
dragging the end of an extension cord. He tells the kids that he
is working on a super important project using huge amounts of electricity.
He plugs in his keyboard and starts to type, but gets a small electrical
shock. He tells the kids there must be a short somewhere and decides
to leave to find it. Before he does, he makes a sign on a piece of
paper that says, "Do Not Touch Buttons" and places it on the keyboard.
Nerd A then leaves.
Nerd B comes out and does not read the
sign, but throws it to the floor. He starts typing and gets a huge
electrical shock knocking him to the floor. (Have the narrator make
a "zzzz" sound in the microphone imitating the sound of electricity.)
Nerd B gets up and leaves.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about following directions, and why it was not. (It wasn't following
directions because he didn't pay attention to the sign.) He then introduces
skit number two.
Skit 2:
Nerd A comes out following his extension
cord to the keyboard. He tells the kids that he is working on a super-duper
important project using huge amounts of electromagnetic current, commonly
known as electricity. He tells them that there was a short somewhere,
but he thinks he fixed it. He then starts to type, but gets another
small electrical shock. He tells the kids there must still be a short
somewhere and decides to go find it. Before he does, he makes a sign
on a piece of paper that says, "Do Not Touch Buttons." Nerd A then
leaves following the extension cord.
Nerd B comes out and reads the sign, but
tells the kids, "What does it mean, 'Do not touch Buttons?' Buttons
are for pushing. He throws the paper down, starts typing and gets
a huge electrical shock. Nerd B then leaves jittery.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit about following directions, and why it was not. (It wasn't following
directions because even though he read the directions, he did not follow
them.) He then introduces skit three.
Skit 3:
Nerd A comes out following his extension
cord to the keyboard. He tells the kids that he is working on a massively
important project using huge amounts alternating and direct current, called
ACDC or electricity. He tells them that there was a short somewhere,
but he thinks he finally fixed it this time. He sits down at the
keyboard and starts to type, but still gets a small electrical shock.
He tells the kids there must still be a small short somewhere. He
tells them that he is going to turn the generator on full blast to see
if that will help him find the short. Before he does, he makes a
sign on a piece of paper that says, "Do Not Touch Buttons." Nerd
A then leaves following the extension cord.
Nerd B comes out and reads the sign, but
tells the kids, "What does it mean, 'Do not touch Buttons?' This
sign must be for little kids not to touch the buttons. But being
that I am a mature, intelligent, good looking, suave, brainiac adult, it
will be OK for me to touch if I am very very very very very very careful.
He throws the paper down, starts typing and gets a huge electrical shock.
Nerd B then gets up and tries to touch the buttons again, more carefully,
but again gets another electrical shock. Nerd B then puts on gloves
and stands at a distance, and barely touches the buttons, but still gets
a huge electrical shock. Nerd B then leaves.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit about following directions, and why it was not. (It wasn't following
directions because because even though he read the directions, he ignored
them thinking he was smarter.) He then introduces skit number four.
Skit 4:
Nerd A comes out following his extension
cord to the keyboard. He tells the kids that he is working on an
astronomically important project using huge amounts of mega electricity.
He tells them that there was a short somewhere, but after much calculations,
and a few trial and errors, he thinks he has found and fixed the problem.
He starts to type, but still gets a small electrical shock. He tells
the kids there must be a short in the main electrical outlet switch, and
decides to go one last time and try to fix it. Before he does, he
makes a sign on a piece of paper that says, "Do Not Touch Buttons."
Nerd A then leaves.
Nerd B comes out and reads the sign, but
tells the kids, "'Do not touch buttons?' Humm, there must be something
dangerous about this keyboard. I had better do what the sign says
and not touch the buttons." Nerd B starts to leave, as Nerd A comes
back in. He sits down and while typing on the buttons, gets a big
electrical shock. Nerd B just stares and says, "Wow, its a good thing
I didn't touch the buttons." He then offers Nerd A some help and
they both leave to go find the short.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit about following directions, and why it was. (It was following directions
because he paid attention to the sign.)
44.
SACRIFICE (6:2)
(You will need a narrator, two nerds, and
six ice-cream bars.)
The narrator comes out and tells the kids
that they are going to watch four skits on sacrifice. He then introduces
skit number one.
Skit 1:
Nerd A comes out with an ice-cream bar.
He tells the kids that he has been saving up his money and waiting in great
expectation all winter for summer time to finally get here so that he could
buy
this ice-cream bar from the "Ding Ding Man". (The "Ding
Ding man" is the icre-cream man who drives his ice-cream truck through
the neighborhoods ringing his bell.) He then begins to tell the kids
how delicious, and scrumptious, and luscious this ice-cream bar is.
He tells them that they are so good, they are all sold out in just the
first month of the summer. He sits down and begins to open the ice-cream
bar slowly, smelling and looking at it in great anticipation. Just
then Nerd B walks out crying, telling the kids, "I heard the sound of the
'Ding Ding man', but by the time I went back home to get my money, the
'Ding Ding man' was gone." He begins to cry. He then looks
up and notices Nerd A with the ice-cream bar, and asks if he would be willing
to sell it or to share? Nerd A tells him that he is crazy, "I have
waited all winter to get
this ice-cream bar, and there is no way
I am going to sell it OR share it with you or anybody else, not for a hundred
dollars, not for a thousand dollars, not evan for a million dollars ...
OK, maybe for a million dollars, but not one penny less." Nerd A
rips off the wrapper and begins to eat the ice-cream bar as he walks out.
Nerd B leaves crying.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about sacrifice, and why it was not. (It wasn't sacrifice because
he didn't share with him.) He then introduces skit number two.
Skit 2:
Nerd A comes out with two ice-cream bars.
He tells the kids that he has been saving up his money and waiting in great
expectation all winter for summer time to finally get here so that he could
buy
this ice-cream bar from the "Ding Ding Man". He then begins
to tell the kids how delicious, and scrumptious, and luscious this ice-cream
bar is. He tells them that they are so good, they are all sold out
in just the first two weeks of the summer. He sits down and begins
to open the ice-cream bar slowly, smelling and looking at it in great anticipation.
Just then Nerd B walks out crying, telling the kids, "I heard the sound
of the 'Ding Ding man', but by the time I went back home to get my money,
the 'Ding Ding man' was gone." He begins to cry. He then looks
up and notices Nerd A with the ice-cream bar, and asks if he would be willing
to sell it or to share? Nerd A tells him that he is crazy, "I have
waited all winter to get
this ice-cream bar, and there is no way
I am going to sell it OR share it with you or anybody else, not for a hundred
dollars, not for a thousand dollars, not evan for a million dollars ...
OK, maybe for a million dollars, but not one penny less. You should
have been better prepared." Nerd A then tells him that he bought
a different, less yummy ice-cream pop for his cousin, and offers that one
to him. Nerd B declines, so Nerd A rips off the wrapper and begins
to eat the ice-cream bar as he walks out. Nerd B leaves crying.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit about sacrifice, and why it was not. (It wasn't sacrifice because
even though he offered to share, he offered something he didn't want.)
He then introduces skit number three.
Skit 3:
Nerd A comes out with an ice-cream bar.
He tells the kids that he has been saving up his money and waiting in great
expectation all winter for summer time to finally get here so that he could
buy
this ice-cream bar from the "Ding Ding Man". He then begins
to tell the kids how delicious, and scrumptious, and luscious this ice-cream
bar is. He tells them that they are so good, they are all sold out
in just the first week of the summer. He sits down and begins to
open the ice-cream bar slowly, smelling and looking at it in great anticipation.
Just then Nerd B walks out crying, telling the kids, "I heard the sound
of the 'Ding Ding man', but by the time I went back home to get my money,
the 'Ding Ding man' was gone." He begins to cry. He then looks
up and notices Nerd A with the ice-cream bar, and asks if he would be willing
to sell it or to share? Nerd A tells him, "I have waited all winter
to get
this ice-cream bar, I will have to think about this one."
He then begins to eat the ice-cream. Nerd B asks if he is going to
share or not, and Nerd A, while taking another bite says, "Don't rush me,
I am thinking about it." Nerd A eats almost all of the icre-cream,
and when he gets down to the last bite, he decides to share and gives it
to Nerd B. Nerd B declines at first, but then takes it. Both
nerds leave.
The narrator asks the kids if that was
a skit about sacrifice, and why it was not. (It wasn't sacrifice because
even though he did share with him, he only gave him the last little bite.)
He then introduces skit number four.
Skit 4:
Nerd A comes out with two ice-cream bars.
He tells the kids that he has been saving up his money and waiting in great
expectation all winter for summer time to finally get here so that he could
buy
this ice-cream bar from the "Ding Ding Man". He then begins
to tell the kids how delicious, and scrumptious, and luscious this ice-cream
bar is. He tells them that they are so good, they are all sold out
in just the first two days of the summer. He sits down and begins
to open the ice-cream bar slowly, smelling and looking at it in great anticipation.
Just then Nerd B walks out crying, telling the kids, "I heard the sound
of the 'Ding Ding man', but by the time I went back home to get my money,
the 'Ding Ding man' was gone." He begins to cry. He then looks
up and notices Nerd A with the ice-cream bar, and asks if he would be willing
to sell it or to share? Nerd A tells him that he is crazy, "I have
waited all winter to get
this ice-cream bar, and there is no way
I am going to sell it OR share it with you or anybody else, not for a hundred
dollars, not for a thousand dollars, not even for a million dollars ...
OK, maybe for a million dollars, but not one penny less." Nerd A
rips off the wrapper, but then seeing the sadness in Nerd B's eyes, decides
to give Nerd B the ice-cream bar, and to eat the other less yummy ice cream
bar. Nerd B tells him, that is the nicest thing anyone has ever done.
Nerd A then tells Nerd B, "Actually, the 'Ding Ding man' is my Uncle Charlie,
so I will just call him tonight and have him save me an ice-cream bar for
tomorrow. Besides, I think I have gained ten pounds just doing this
skit." Nerd B asks, "Do you think your Uncle Charlie could save me
one too?" Nerd A says, "Sure." The two nerds leave eating their
ice-cream.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about sacrifice, and why it was. (It was sacrifice because he
gave him the good ice-cream bar, and took the other one for himself.)
45.
FOLLOWING JESUS (6:10)
(You will need a narrator, two nerds, a
bad guy, a sign that says, "To Heaven - God",
a sign that says, "To Hell
Heaven - Devil God", and a tricycle.)
The narrator comes out and tells the kids
that they are going to watch four skits on following Jesus. He then
introduces skit number one.
Skit 1:
Nerd A comes out talking about how late
he is for work. He stands right under the sign and tells the kids,
"I wonder which way I should go? I just wish there was someone or
something to show me the way." (The kids should point and yell at
him to look at the sign.) "I guess I will flip a coin and see
which way to go. Heads, go left. Tails, go right." He
flips the coin, "It's heads, I guess I will go left." He doesn't
pay any attention to the sign and leaves the opposite direction the sign
points to, and begins to walk across the street. Nerd B comes driving
around the corner on the tricycle, and runs into Nerd A and speeds off.
Nerd B comes back out and drags Nerd A behind the stage.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about following Jesus, and why not. (It wasn't following
Jesus because he didn't pay attention to the sign.) He then introduces
skit number two.
Skit 2
Nerd A comes out again talking about how
late he is for work, "I wonder which way I should go? I just wish
there was someone or something to show me the way." This time he
sees the sign, but laughs at it and says, "Wow, people really believe this
stuff? There really isn't such a thing as heaven ... is there?
Hummm, it could be true. I will have to come back and follow this
sign later, but right now I am late for work and just too busy. Maybe
when I get old and bored, I will come back and follow this sign."
He then begins to walk across the street. Nerd B comes driving around
the corner, and runs into Nerd A and speeds off. Nerd B comes back
out and drags Nerd A behind the stage.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about following Jesus, and why not. (It wasn't following
Jesus, because even though he read the sign, he said he wouldn't follow
it until later.) He then introduces skit number three.
Skit 3:
A bad guy comes out and puts up a new sign
over the old sign that says, "To Hell Heaven - Devil
God". Nerd A comes out again talking about how late he is for work,
"I wonder which way I should go? I just wish there was someone or
something to show me the way." He turns around and sees the sign,
and says to the kids, "If there is a sign, it must be correct. I
will follow it and see where it leads. Hey, what can it hurt?"
He then begins to walk across the street. Nerd B comes driving around
the corner, and runs into Nerd A and speeds off. Nerd B comes back
out and drags Nerd A behind the stage.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about following God, and why not. (It wasn't following
God, because though he was following a sign, it was the wrong one and led
the wrong way.) He then introduces skit number four.
Skit 4:
Nerd A comes out again talking about how
late he is for work, "I wonder which way I should go? I just wish
there was someone or something to show me the way." He turns around
reads the sign, "To Hell Heaven - Devil
God. Humm, something looks fishy about this sign." He then
pulls off the wrong sign and reads the new sign. He tells the kids,
"Wow, if this is the way to heaven, then I want to follow it. I am
busy, but I am not so busy as to miss my way to heaven. This will
be really cool." He follows the sign and Nerd B drives by on the
tricycle. Nerd A tells the kids, "It's a good thing I read and followed
the sign. I would have been killed, and then where would I be?"
Nerd A leaves.
The narrator then asks the kids it that
was a skit about following God and why. (It was following God because
he read the sign and did what it said.)
46.
PEACE (6:4)
(You will need a narrator and one nerd.)
The narrator comes out and tells the kids
that they are going to watch four skits on peace. He then introduces
skit number one.
Skit 1
Nerd A comes out with a piece of paper
and tells the kids it is an assignment from his favorite school teacher.
He opens the paper and begins to read it to the kids, "Your assignment
for tomorrow is to study for a pop quiz." Nerd A looks at the kids
and begins to panic, "A pop quiz? I need exactly 43 and 2/3 hours
to study for a quiz, plus a good nights sleep of at least ten hours, and
of course a healthy breakfast of oats, bacon, whole wheat toast with jam,
and a nice glass of orange juice. I will never pass this test, and
if I don't pass, I will be thrown out of the 100% club at school?
What am I going to do? I know, I'll panic, ahhhhh !!!" Nerd
A runs out screaming.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about peace, and why not. (It wasn't peace, because he panicked.)
He then introduces skit number two.
Skit 2
Nerd A comes out with a piece of paper
and tells the kids it is an assignment from his favorite school teacher.
He opens the paper and reads to the kids, "Your assignment for tomorrow
is to study for a pop quiz." Nerd A looks at the kids and begins
to panic, "A pop quiz? I need exactly 43 and 2/3 hours to study for
a quiz or test, plus a good nights sleep of at least ten hours, and a healthy
breakfast of oats, bacon, whole wheat toast with jam, hash browns, and
of course a glass of orange juice, pulp free. I will never pass this
test, and if I don't pass, I will be thrown out of the 100% club at school.
Then where will I go? What will I do? What will I do?"
Nerd A panics on stage, then stops and starts to cough slightly.
"I think I am coming down with a cold, and won't be able to go to school
tomorrow for the quiz. Yeah, that's it." Nerd A leaves the
stage practicing his fake cough, and laughing in-between coughs telling
himself how clever he is.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about peace, and why not. (It wasn't peace, because he panicked
and then decided to lie.) He then introduces skit number three.
Skit 3
Nerd A comes out with a piece of paper
and tells the kids it is an assignment from his favorite school teacher.
He opens the paper and reads to the kids, "Your assignment for tomorrow
is to study for a pop quiz." Nerd A looks at the kids and beings
to panic, "A pop quiz, tomorrow? I need exactly 43 2/3 hours of study
for a quiz or test, plus a good nights sleep of at least ten hours, and
a healthy breakfast of oats, bacon, whole wheat toast with strawberry jam,
no make that grape jam, hash browns, and of course a glass of pulp free
orange juice, freshly squeezed. I will never pass this test, and
if I don't pass, I will be thrown out of the 100% club at school.
And besides, I am supposed to meet my buddies at the Midnight
Black Light Bowl-O-Rama. Oh well, whatever will be, will be,
I guess I will just fail. No need to worry about something that I
can't do anything about. I wonder what the 98% club is like?
Anyway, I need to go bowling." Nerd A leaves talking about taking
the teacher off of his Christmas list.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about peace, and why not. (It wasn't peace, because he just
gave up.) He then introduces skit number four.
Skit 4
Nerd A comes out with a piece of paper
and tells the kids it is an assignment from his favorite school teacher.
He opens the paper and reads to the kids, "Your assignment for tomorrow
is to study for a pop quiz." Nerd A looks a the kids and begins to
panic, "A pop quiz? Oh great, I usually need exactly 43 2/3 hours
to study for a quiz, plus a good nights sleep of at least ten hours, and
a healthy breakfast of oats, bacon, whole wheat toast with grape jam, hash
browns, two eggs over easy, and of course a glass of freshly squeezed pulp
free orange juice." Nerd A gets down on one knee and prays, "Lord,
give me strength and wisdom to know what to do to prepare for this pop
quiz." Nerd A then gets up and says, "Well, I guess I will have to
go home and study. I'll have to call the guys and tell them I can't
come down for Midnight Black Light Bowl-O-Rama night. Humm,
I think I will call out for a pizza delivery. I love studying with
pizza, especially an oats, bacon, eggs, hash browns and jelly pizza, with
whole wheat toast on the side. I think I will call a couple friends
and have them come over and study with me. This will be great fun
!!!" Nerd A leaves calling the pizza place to order the pizza.
The narrator then asks the kids if that
was a skit about peace, and why. (It was peace, because he didn't panic,
but prayed and trusted in God, and then left to study for the quiz.)
