Clipboard Christmas Skits

By Tom Spence

It's almost Christmas and you haven't done anything to get ready. I don't mean Christmas shopping. I mean the Christmas program for the church.Parents and children are running 100 miles per hour in every direction. There is never enough time and you couldn't get any less sleep than you do right now. What are we going to do about the Christmas program?First of all, don't panic. Christmas for all of the hustle and bustle that the world tries to cram in it, is a time of joy. Be joyful. Be joyful and know there are alternatives to the Christmas program that requires hours of preparation and rehearsal. If you still live in that world where you can have unlimited time for children to practice songs and lines and movements for a special manger scene, then you are blessed. If not, then we are citizens of the Kingdom of God who currently reside in the same big zip code as most of us-the world.Instead of throwing in the towel or traveling far beyond your stress threshold, try some simple skits that require minimal rehearsal and almost no memorization. The cast is not gender restrictive and there is plenty of room for local church color.This short book contains 3 short skits or readings that can be conducted with the cast using clipboards or reading lines out of the view of the audience. Shepherds with clipboards? Really? The Good Shepherd knows his sheep by name. The rest of them may need to call roll. The names of the sheep are not really attached to the clipboard, but the lines and cues are. You will be surprised at how quickly your cast picks up the genre of each skit.Be blessed and be a blessing to others.
