Time: 5 minutes
Characters: 3-8

Start
Group of actors stand in a tight, defensive circle to stage right. A spotlight illuminates them and the circle of floor they are standing on, but everything else is in darkness.
They move around within their circle, relating together, talking or gesturing silently to each other, and occasionally looking out fearfully into the darkness.

An offstage voice calls softly from the left wings, to one of the actors: ‘Rachel’ (or any appropriate first name).

‘Rachel’ looks out of the circle towards the voice fearfully, then shakes her head, covers her ears for a few seconds, and continues in silent conversation with the rest of the group.

After a gap of some seconds, the voice speaks again, gentle and loving but a bit louder. This time, she does not cover her ears, but looks out very fearfully into the darkness, towards the voice.

Finally, the voice calls again. ‘Rachel’ begins to take a first tentative step out of the circle into the darkness. But as she does so, a second spotlight starts to move with her, illuminating the floor just in front of her. After a few seconds, as she takes a further tentative step, she shows surprise that the light is moving with her. With each slow step, she shows an increasing sense of confidence, trust and growing joy, and her fear starts to drop away.

SO, god will help those who help themselves.Try this!!!!!!!!

I dunno for you idea in particular but you can check out

www.christianskitscripts.com

well you could portray all the worldly stereotypes (who the world says you are) humorously and dress up as them:
-cheerleader/jock
-depressed goth
-nerd
-eclectic wildcard

and then say who God says you are and why that is your identity, not the world's label. and use scripture, because Gods words speak to hearts- not ours. but make the skit all short-worded and kid friendly and lighthearted and funny/exaggerated

just an idea. good luck. remember God will work out whatever skit he wants for these kids to hear/see.

Hi Mum,
Teach tolerance for other religions by using a cast of people who are all friends and expressing how they are glad to be friends with each other despite the differences.
Love Don.
P.S:- Thanks for answering my question about falling asleep in class.
