An easy skit for four children.
Props:
Characters:
Costume: Bee costume can be a sheet of poster paper with a cutout for the child's face. Paint or color the posterboard to look like a bumble bee.
Setting: Child 1 & 2 are playing checkers at a table with 2 chairs. A 3rd chair is nearby but not pulled to the table. A bowl of (can be pretend) popcorn is on the table. Child 3 is playing alone across the stage from the table.
Child 1 (points to child 3) What's she doing here?
Child 2 My mom s watching her.
Child 1 Well, I hope she doesn t want to play with us. Only
two people can play this game.
Child 2 Shh, here she comes
Child 3 (walks to the table and watches) Can I play?
Child 1 (rudely) No! This is a game for two people only
Child 3 Is it ok if I watch
Child 1 I guess so
Child 3 Can I have some popcorn?
Child 1 It's for us but I guess you can have a few pieces
Child 2 (passes the popcorn bowl to child 3) Here have some
Child 3 (reaches for the bowl and bumps the checker board)
Oh! I'm sorry!
Child 1 Now look what you ve done! You ruined our game!
Child 3 (goes back to the side, crying)
Child 1 (putting checkers back on the board) I knew she'd mess
something up.
Bee Kind (comes on stage and comforts child 3)
Child 3 (closes her eyes as if she were sleeping)
Child 1 (pointing to Bee) What is that?
Child 2 Good question! Hey, you in the bee suit. Who are you
and what are you doing in my room?
Child 1 & 2 walk over to stand by Bee Kind.
Bee Kind - I came to make Jesus feel better.
Child 2 - Jesus? That's not Jesus. Jesus is in heaven.
Bee Kind - The Bible says that if we do something unkind to
another person, we did it to Jesus. You were unkind to
her so Jesus' feelings are hurt.
Child 1 - Oh no. Is Jesus mad at us? What can we do?
Bee Kind - The Bible also says that if we do something kind for
another person, we did it to Jesus. Does that give you
any ideas?
Child 2 - I wish we could just start the whole thing again.
Bee Kind - Sounds like time for a Bee Kind Rewind. Children,
reverse your engines.
Child 1 & 2 (walk backwards to the table and sit down. They
return the checker board and popcorn to their places)
Child 3 (wakes up, yawns, stretches and looks at the table)
Child 1 (points to child 3) What's she doing here?
Child 2 My mom's watching her.
Child 3 (walks to the table) Can I play?
Child 1 Only 2 can play checkers at a time but you can watch
us finish this game and then you can play the winner.
Child 2 There's another chair right over there. Pull it to
the table.
Child 1 And have some popcorn, it s really good.
Bee Kind - (walks to center stage) Just like the Bible says,
Be kind to each other , Ephesians 4:32.
