Eight (Ten Part 3) Bible Skits
Included with the Skit Pack

What are Character Skits?

Character Bible skits are well…picture this – the Lesson Launch has just been completed. The door flies open and in bursts boisterous and brash Oily Al – self proclaimed, World’s Most Anointed Salesman.

Well, the truth is that it isn’t the anointing, he’s just slick and well, slimy…some even say greasy.

Oily Al interacts with the teacher and the kids as he tries to sell some cheap – useless product often selling a lazy alternative and shortcut to obeying God’s Word.

Bible Skits reinforce the lesson from a totally unique angle.

Character skits bring a new, fresh face into the classroom

Character skits like Oily Al are an abrupt 3-5 minute “intrusion” and interruption to your kids Bible Lesson.

Nathan Newsworthy

Nathan brings a more sophisticated approach BUT the people he interviews quickly frazzle him!

Nathan interviews the main kids Bible lesson character or someone directly involved “on the scene” with the children’s Bible story.

Nathan’s Bible skit interviews actually tell the story a second time and reinforce the main points from a different perspective.

Bible Skits Backgrounds and Character Bios

Oily Al

Oily Al is a walking infomercial. He calls himself the “World’s Most Anointed Salesman.” Anointing is sarcastic for his “slick”, cheesy (almost greasy) approach and manner.

His motive is to promote the sale of a “quick fix” product or short cut to applying the truths of God’s Word. Sometimes he just flat out misunderstood or never listened to the lesson.

He then offers a product is way off base. Oily truly gets a kick out of himself and laughs loudly at his own jokes.

His basic philosophy is “why go through all that …just use this and save yourselves the time and trouble”.

Oily is boisterous, annoying, relentless and full of himself. He bursts in at a time prearranged by the teacher yet a time unknown to the children. His entrance is rude and obnoxious, oblivious of the fact he has completely interrupted the flow of the class.

Oily’s costume is straight out of the 60s-70s used car salesman stereotype. It consists of an outdated sport coat (plaid is perfect), clashing tie and patterned shirt. He is our favorite!

His appeal is in how he attempts to usurp the teacher’s authority and scam the children. He elicits STRONG student response while the teacher remains unimpressed, impatient and unmoved.

Do the skit anytime following the Lesson Launch when kids have learned the “proper” Biblical application or approach.

Nathan Newsworthy

Nathan can be used anytime during or following the Lesson Launch. We have often used it AS the actual Lesson Launch to change things up a bit.

Nathan is a Bible time reporter who arrives on the scene of a Bible story and interviews the main character or witnesses of an event. Nathan ideally is played by the same actor each time while the characters interviewed (Gideon, Moses, Eve, Peter are different).

Nathan is a great straight man who tries to maintain serious journalism but often fails. Nathan is a reporter for Bible Broadcast Channel (BBC) TV (if they actually had it Nathan is waaay too serious and is too into his job. He has a hard time keeping to topic and it frustrates him. He is looking for that big anchor job and the interviews always get off track!

The characters he interviews always seem to get off topic. The guests are portrayed as real life people not heroes who have encountered a supernatural God and circumstance. They are simple people who just simply explain what happened.

General Suggestions

On both types of Bible skits we can’t stress enough – MAKE IT FUN! Don’t be dry or lifeless or it will bomb big time.

Find someone who will give the skits life! Don’t overlook the teens in your church.

Kids love to see them in their classroom. A teen that is into drama can really run with a part and develop it to the max!

Ad lib, be creative! Please don’t be stiff- try to find someone who will get into character.
