Booth / Skit Rotation — Instructions for All Clubs
Each club will participate in the Booth / Skit Rotation by presenting a 5‑minute live skit based on a Bible parable.
Each Club Director must:
Choose ONE parable from the master list when registering their club.
Ensure their chosen parable is not already taken (parables will be greyed out once chosen).
Assign roles to club members and guide them through practicing the skit.
Make sure the skit is prepared, organized, and stays within the 5‑minute limit.
Help the kids understand the story and the moral so they can share it confidently.
Skit Requirements
The skit must be based on a Bible parable.
Kids will act out the story using motions and expressions (no memorized lines needed).
A narrator may read or summarize the parable as the kids act.
Actors should not say the name of the parable during the skit.
After the performance, the audience will guess the parable.
Once guessed, the performers will state the moral of the story in their own words.
