Free Puppet Skits From PuppetsForJESUS.com

Puppet: I am so mad I could spit!

Adult: Why are you mad?

Puppet: Why am I mad? Why am I mad? I’ll tell you why?

Adult: Why?

Puppet: Why what?

Adult: Why are you mad?

Puppet: I am mad because Billy Buffoon busted my big blue ball!

Adult: Wow, that’s quit a mouthful of Bs. (pronounced bees)

Puppet: (hysterical) Mouthful of bees! Mouthful of Bees! Call a doctor call 911, call the paramedics! Somebody is
getting stung with a mouthful of bees!! I hope they keep their mouth closed, I do not want them getting out and
stinging me!! Heeeeeeeeeelp! The bees are coming!

Adult: Calm down, calm down!

Puppet: What’s to be calm about when somebody has a mouthful of bees?

Adult: Not a mouth full of bumble bees.

Puppet: A mouthful of wasps, they look a lot alike but the hurt even worse! I’m outta here! (quickly exits)

Adult: Puppet come back, it’s OK.

Puppet: No way, I’m allergic to wasps.

Adult: There are no wasps.

Adult: (address the kids) Will you please tell Puppet there are no wasps or bumble bees.

Puppet: But you said a mouthful of bees.

Adult: I meant the letter B because you said Billy Buffoon busted your big blue ball. Those words start with B.

Puppet: (scared & unsure) So there are no bees?

Adult: Tell him kids, no bees.

Puppet: No wasps?

Adult: Tell him, no wasps.

Puppet: Nothing that will sting me?

Adult: Tell him, no stingers.

Adult: Lets all tell Puppet it’s safe to come out. It’s safe to come out Puppet.

Puppet: (enters, looking around) That scared me, phew.

Adult: So, is Billy’s real name Billy Buffoon?

Puppet: No, but he is a Buffoon because that joker broke my big blue ball.

Adult: And that makes you mad, huh?

Puppet: Yeah, and I’m not going to be friends with him anymore. I am going to stay mad at him forever!

Adult: Wait a minute now, mad forever?

Puppet: Yeah, you got it, forever, longer than forever!

Adult: Oh no Puppet, you have to forgive him.

Puppet: Forgive him? You mean like do my best to forget it ever happened and love him anyways and never ever bring
up the fact that I will never ever be able to bounce my big blue ball again. Try to be friends with him while my big blue ball is just a busted saggy sack?

Adult: Yep, pretty much, that’s right.

Puppet: That is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard.

Adult: Well that is what JESUS says we must do and that is exactly what GOD does for us. Anytime we ever sin or do
anything wrong, and we are sorry that we’ve sin, and we ask GOD to forgive us, then GOD forgives us and takes all our sin away. Not only does HE forgive us but he forgets all about it. It’s totally gone. Forever!

Puppet: Well I can not forget about my ball, I miss it.

Adult: Although you can not totally forget, you can still do your best to treat Billy as if he never did that, and still choose
to love him and not be mad at him anymore.

Puppet: That sounds hard

Adult: Forgiveness can be hard sometimes but it is something we have to do if we want GOD to forgive us.

Puppet: You mean if I don’t forgive then GOD won’t forgive me.

Adult: That is what the Bible says in Mathew 18:35

Puppet: Wow, then I better forgive Billy Buffoon. I mean Billy.

Adult: Yes, you better. If it is hard to forgive then you can pray to GOD and he will help you. Would you like to help us learn our Bible verse about forgiveness?

Puppet: I sure would!

Adult: I’ll say the verse and then you & the kids can repeat after me.

Puppet: OK, Let’s go!

Adult: Colossians 3:13

Puppet/Kids: Colossians 3: 13

Adult: Bear With each other

Puppets: Is there a bear now? Maybe all that bee talk, the bear came thinking there was honey! OH BOY! OH BOY!

Adult: No, puppet. Let’s stay focused.

Puppet: But you said Bear.

Adult: I said, Bear with each other. That means to put up with each other, get a long with each other.

Puppet: OK, phew, this has been a scary lesson. Lets start over, I’m ready now. Colossians 3:13

Adult: OK kids, please help puppet by repeating after me, He needs all the help he can get today. Colossians 3:13

Puppet/Kids: Colossians 3:13

Adult: Bear with each other

Puppet/Kids: Bear with each other

Adult: and forgive whatever grievances you may have. Grievances are complaints or arguments we have with somebody. And forgive whatever grievances you may have

Puppets/Kids: And forgive whatever grievances you may have

Finish the Bible verse off in this pattern

Puppet: That is a great verse, that Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have
against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. I’m going to go bear and forgive Billy right now, I gotta
run, I don’t want to miss him. Buh bye everybody.

Adult: Bye Puppet!
