Don’t forget to do a search in the audio files for back to school puppet skits.
There are several in there and work well for doing puppet shows for when the kids are getting ready to go back to school.
I have listed some of the ones that go together in a show…
A Story about Creation (84) The Creation Story Back 2 School – A lesson describing the seven days of creation. One puppet tells the story as another puppet adds his description of what took place. This is a rather long skit but is funny… adults love this one.
Lead of God (59) Two pencil puppets discuss the excitement of going back to school. One puppet finds out that he has the greatest friend with him daily. He teaches that God dwells in us when we know him. Forgiveness, Holy Ghost, and baptism are explained in th
is lesson.
I am a friend of God (101) Puppets are preparing to return to school. This lesson teaches about doing good unto others even though they do evil unto you. One puppet shares the gospel with a friend who wants to join the cool crowd and thinks that he is weird for being a Christian and doesn’t want to hang around with him.
Seymour’s new friend (259) Puppet audio file that allows you to simply hit play and do a puppet skit. This puppet skit consists of 1 male puppet and 1 female puppet. It is about peer pressure and what can happen if you listen to the wrong friends.
more to be added later.
