Puppet Scripts from CCES

Ann Shorb has written a number of scripts/skits that can be used with puppets or acted out by children. These scripts are great for use in churches or at home with your children. We have a few scripts available for free (to the right of this page) and a book of fifteen scripts and several articles for sale.

Skits for Fun and Learning: Helping Children Learn, Love and Live the Word of God

This book contains 15 scripts/skits that can be acted out by children or performed by puppets. Also included are six articles to help you or your church with getting a puppet ministry started. It is available to be purchased as a PDF download, or a paperback book can be purchased and shipped within the United States (a $3.95 shipping charge is added).

Each of the scripts presents a learning opportunity for children while being fun and entertaining at the same time. The scripts are very versatile and easy to perform because they require only 2 - 4 characters and minimal or optional use of props.

The articles included in Skits for Fun and Learning cover topics related to making puppets from inexpensive household materials, adapting puppet scripts to suit your situation, the impact of puppets on children, and working with teen puppeteers,
