Beginnings of Christianity - Three scenes involving Peter and John in their early ministry.  

Body Language - Taken from 25 Christian Drama Sketches by Peter Jackson, published by Kevin Mayhew Ltd 2007 – Page 85 -7. Adapted for use by Primary aged children as the language and speeches were occasionally too complicated for that age group.

David and Goliath - The principal characters must act out what the Narrators are saying. Though Narrator 2 has only short statements to say -  the way ‘The Philistines’ & ‘Goliath’ are spoken will have an impact on the whole sketch.

Hands - Looking at the story of Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Easter Day through a mime with hands.

Joseph the Dreamer - the story of Joseph, his dreams and his brothers

Living a life of Faith in God - This sketch is based on a story from a book entitled “Modern Parables” by S.E.Petts, published by Henry E. Walter Ltd 1971.

Palm Sunday to Easter Day - a sketch in the form of several tableaux which can be interspersed with songs

Love and Forgiveness - How Jesus shows us a life of love and forgiveness

Poppy -  This is a service of prayer with the Poppy as the focus. The prayer ideas have all come from the children as each section was thought about.

The Ascension - A sketch based on Jesus' ascension into heaven.

The Angels - what a typical Angels' Council in heaven might be like!

There must be a way - the story of the healing of the paralysed man

The transformation of Saul to Paul - a sketch for a minimum of three people

The Judge and the widow - the moral of this story is that if we are persistent in prayer for a cause that we are passionate about then God will hear us and respond to our request.  

The Fourth Wise Man - an Epiphany sketch based on the classic story

Ranjid - This is based on a true story and fits well with the importance of reading the Bible. It uses the 23rd Psalm
