🎭 Sample Script: "The Lost Llama"

(Scene: The deck of the SS Zark. Captain Zed and the crew are searching for Lenny the Llama, who has wandered off.)

Captain Zed: (Looking through a telescope) Ahoy, crew! We’ve got a missing llama on board!

Matey Max: (Scratches head) A missing llama? How does a llama even get lost on a boat?

Sunny: Maybe he went to find some grass?

Captain Zed: On a ship? (Chuckles) Lenny must have wandered below deck. But let’s not worry—God knows where he is! Let’s pray and search together.

(Kids act out searching the ship, calling for Lenny.)

Matey Max: (Shouts) Found him! He was tangled in the fishing nets!

Captain Zed: (Smiling) That reminds me of Luke 15:4—Jesus told us about the shepherd who left the 99 to find the lost sheep. God never forgets us, just like we didn’t forget Lenny!

Sunny: (Petting Lenny) God takes care of all His creatures—even silly llamas!

Captain Zed: And that’s why we trust Him. Now, let’s celebrate with a song!

🎶 (Cue music: "God's Creatures Great and Small") 🎶

🦁 Fun Activity: Animal Charades!

Objective: Help kids learn about God’s creatures through movement and fun!

Instructions:

1. Write different animal names on slips of paper (lion, elephant, kangaroo, owl, dolphin, etc.).
2. Have each child pick a slip and act out the animal while others guess.
3. Once guessed, discuss how God uniquely designed that animal!

💡 Lesson Tie-In: “Just like every animal is made with a purpose, God has made YOU special, too!” – Psalm 139:14

🎭 Sample Skit: "The Wise Old Turtle"

(Scene: The crew of the SS Zark meets a very slow but very wise turtle who teaches them about patience and trusting God's timing.)

Captain Zed: (Looking at the map) We’re almost to Treasure Island, but these waves are slowing us down.

Matey Max: (Tapping foot impatiently) Can’t we just go faster? I don’t want to wait all day!

(Enter Toby the Turtle, moving VERY slowly.)

Toby the Turtle: Hello, travelers. Where are you hurrying off to?

Sunny: Treasure Island! But we’re not getting there fast enough.

Toby the Turtle: Ah, I know the feeling. But have you ever seen a turtle rush? (Chuckles) No, because good things come in God’s perfect timing.

Captain Zed: That reminds me of Ecclesiastes 3:11—“God makes everything beautiful in its time.”

Matey Max: (Thinking) So maybe instead of rushing, we should trust that God’s timing is best?

Toby the Turtle: Exactly! Now, who’s up for a slow race? (Crawls forward slowly)

(The kids laugh and cheer as they have a "slow-motion" race, learning that patience is a virtue.)

🦜 Game: The Parrot’s Secret Message

Objective: Teach kids about listening carefully to God's Word while having fun with a talking parrot game!

Instructions:

1. Choose one child to be the "Parrot." They stand in front and say a Bible verse in a silly parrot voice.
2. The rest of the kids must repeat it exactly how they said it—voice and all!
3. Gradually, make the phrases more challenging, or add fun distractions to test their listening skills.

💡 Lesson Tie-In: “Just like we listen carefully to the parrot, we must listen carefully to God’s Word and follow His voice!” – John 10:27
