Theme: Christianity is a choice that every individual makes. (Joshua 1:9)
Length: 3-4 minutes
Characters:
5 Clowns
Setting/Props:
There is no particular setting for this skit. Along with clown costumes, you will need two road signs: NARROW and WIDE. Near the NARROW sign you should tape a crosswalk on the floor. You’ll also need a pocket size cross that’s big enough to be visible to the audience.
Synopsis:
When the clowns come to a fork in the road on a journey towards eternal bliss, they must determine which way to go. Exaggerated pointing accompanies the question: Is it this way or that way? And the final answer is of course—the one with the cross walk.
Excerpt:
Slobber, Goober, and Rufus ENTER, walking in single file. Slobber stops abruptly, turns, and signals for the others to stop.
Slobber: Whoa!
Goober halts, but Rufus isn’t paying attention. He crashes into Goober who crashes into Slobber and they all crash to the floor.
Slobber: (Complains as he gets up) I said, Whoa.
Rufus:(scratches head puzzled) Oh.
Goober: Where are we going, anyway?
Slobber: I told you, we’re on a journey toward eternal bliss. But we’ve got a problem. There’s a fork in the road.
Goober and Rufus both examine the ground carefully around the signs.
Rufus: I don’t see a fork. (He brightens and pulls a spoon out of his pocket) But I do have a spoon.
Slobber: Not that kind of fork. The kind of fork where the road splits and goes in two different directions. Now we have to make a decision. Do we go this way (exaggerated point in each direction) or do we go that way?

Theme: The Christian life is a race of endurance in front of spectators. (Heb. 12:1)
Characters: Rabbit, Speedy, Turtle, Race Starter & a couple of spectators
Length: 2.5 – 3 minutes
Scene/Props:
A sign that says, Race for the Lord, a bottle of Turtle wax, a boom box and Chariots of Fire theme song
Synopsis:
This Kids Church skit was made for kids to perform to kids. The characters compete in a race for the Lord.
Excerpt:
(A RABBIT hops in. He has whiskers and bunny ears)
Rabbit: (Reads the sign with a tone of contempt) Race for the Lord. I’m gonna smoke everyone. Run circles around them. Make them eat my dust. But first, I gotta get loose.
(As Rabbit stretches out, SPEEDY sprints in. He has whiskers, mouse ears and a long tail.)
Speedy: Arriba! Arriba! Undelay! Undelay! Hey, Senior, is this where the race for the Lord starts?
Rabbit: Yeah, who are you?
Speedy: Speedy Gonzales. The fastest mouse in all of Mexico. And I see another spiritual victory in my future.
Rabbit: I don’t think so. I’m more spiritual than you are. Look, I even brought my Bible. Did you bring YOUR Bible? Huh?
Speedy: No, I’ve got it all memorized.
Rabbit: Well, your shoe’s untied. (Speedy points and Rabbit looks) Knot! And that’s
K. N. O. T. Get it? Your shoelace is in a knot. Ha, ha, ha!
(A TURTLE enters. He wears a shell and speaks and moves very slowly)
Turtle: Excuse me. Is this where the race for the Lord starts?
(Speedy starts running around the turtle in circles)
Speedy: Si, Senior. Arriba! Arriba! Undelay! Undelay!
Rabbit: Don’t tell me you’re going to race. Not only do you not have a Bible, you don’t have a prayer. A prayer, get it? Ha, Ha, Ha.

Theme: Christians should strive to maintain a positive thought life. (Phil.4:8)
Length: 3-4 minutes
Characters:
6 Clowns
Scene/Props:
There is no particular setting for this skit except for a single chair. You will need clown costumes, a donut, an inner tube, a balloon and a whoopee cushion.
Synopsis:
This Kid’s Church skit was performed by children made up as clowns and works best for that venue. Characters discuss various ideas on how to maintain a positive thought life. It ends with a whoopee cushion explosion from which the skit gets its name.
Excerpt:
(Goober ENTERS and paces around. He’s concentrating very hard.)
Goober: Think, think, think. Think, think, think.
(Slobber ENTERS. He watches Goober, puzzled at first, then begins to follow him with growing curiosity.)
Slobber: What are you doing?
Goober: (pauses to answer) I’m thinking.
(Goober resumes pacing and talking to himself. Slobber continues to follow and watch.)
Goober: Think, think, think. Think, think, think.
Slobber: What kind of thinking?
Goober: Good thoughts thinking. That’s what kind of thinking. (He paces again.) Think, think, think. Think, think, think. (Pauses with a discovery) Thinking leads to answers. Answers lead to knowledge. And knowledge leads to…to…
Slobber: To what?
Goober: (Shrugs) The thought hasn’t entered my mind.
