Bee Kind

An easy skit for four children. Props:

• Table
• 3 Chairs
• Checker game
• Popcorn bowl

  Characters:

• Child 1
• Child 2
• Child 3
• Bee Kind

  Costume: Bee costume can be a sheet of poster paper with a cutout for the child's face. Paint or color the posterboard to look like a bumble bee. Setting: Child 1 & 2 are playing checkers at a table with 2 chairs. A 3rd chair is nearby but not pulled to the table. A bowl of (can be pretend) popcorn is on the table. Child 3 is playing alone across the stage from the table. Child 1 (points to child 3) What's she doing here? Child 2 My mom s watching her. Child 1 Well, I hope she doesn t want to play with us. Only two people can play this game. Child 2 Shh, here she comes Child 3 (walks to the table and watches) Can I play? Child 1 (rudely) No! This is a game for two people only Child 3 Is it ok if I watch Child 1 I guess so Child 3 Can I have some popcorn? Child 1 It's for us but I guess you can have a few pieces Child 2 (passes the popcorn bowl to child 3) Here have some Child 3 (reaches for the bowl and bumps the checker board) Oh! I'm sorry! Child 1 Now look what you ve done! You ruined our game! Child 3 (goes back to the side, crying) Child 1 (putting checkers back on the board) I knew she'd mess something up. Bee Kind (comes on stage and comforts child 3) Child 3 (closes her eyes as if she were sleeping) Child 1 (pointing to Bee) What is that? Child 2 Good question! Hey, you in the bee suit. Who are you and what are you doing in my room? Child 1 & 2 walk over to stand by Bee Kind. Bee Kind - I came to make Jesus feel better. Child 2 - Jesus? That's not Jesus. Jesus is in heaven. Bee Kind - The Bible says that if we do something unkind to another person, we did it to Jesus. You were unkind to her so Jesus' feelings are hurt. Child 1 - Oh no. Is Jesus mad at us? What can we do? Bee Kind - The Bible also says that if we do something kind for another person, we did it to Jesus. Does that give you any ideas? Child 2 - I wish we could just start the whole thing again. Bee Kind - Sounds like time for a Bee Kind Rewind. Children, reverse your engines. Child 1 & 2 (walk backwards to the table and sit down. They return the checker board and popcorn to their places) Child 3 (wakes up, yawns, stretches and looks at the table) Child 1 (points to child 3) What's she doing here? Child 2 My mom's watching her. Child 3 (walks to the table) Can I play? Child 1 Only 2 can play checkers at a time but you can watch us finish this game and then you can play the winner. Child 2 There's another chair right over there. Pull it to the table. Child 1 And have some popcorn, it s really good. Bee Kind - (walks to center stage) Just like the Bible says, Be kind to each other , Ephesians 4:32.
