Ann Shorb has written a number of scripts/skits that can be used with puppets or acted out by children. These scripts are great for use in churches or at home with your children. We have a few scripts available for free (to the right of this page) and a book of fifteen scripts and several articles for sale.

Skits for Fun and Learning: Helping Children Learn, Love and Live the Word of God

SKITS FOR FUN AND LEARNING contains 15 scripts geared to youngsters in grades one through six and may be acted out by children or performed with puppets. Each skit is five to seven minutes in length, presents clear Biblical truth with humor that both young and old enjoy, and involves only two, three or four characters. The stories are brief, simple, and easy to use for Children’s Church, Sunday School, VBS, Bible Clubs, AWANA®, and other events. They’re even fun to use in family devotions!
