1) The Noah Story: a short drama sketch for children
Read a quick extract from the sketch below:
Noah: (His face lights up) Flooding?! Ah ha, you see, I knew the Ark would come in handy one day!
(Visitors start walking up the aisle)
Mrs: (Steaming, looking frustratedly at audience) Ooogh! Anyway, a fat lot of good an Ark's going to do them - there's six billion of them down there now, and what about all the animals?
Visitors knock at the door in front of the stage
Noah: Hello, who's that? (goes to door) yes, what can I do for you?
Visitor 1: Uncle Noah, we think you might be able to help us. We are the great grandchildren of people at [Name of Church]. We haven't been born yet, but we think we might have a problem when we get down there. We've decided to ask for your help. We think you're the best person to help us. The problem is, we're worried about what sort of world we will have to live in after we are born. Most of our great grandparents in [place] won't be around, but we need to get a message to them. Worst of all, we don't like the sound of this 'climate change' and 'global warming'. We want to be safe; we want to know the earth will still be able to provide a livelihood for everyone. But what from what they are saying it's all looking pretty insecure. It's not going to be like our great-grandparents know.
Visitor 2: I want to see white Christmases, like they used to be able to. I want there to be polar bears still at the North Pole when I'm born.
Visitor 3: I want to know that coral reefs and rainforests are still teeming with life, full of noise and colour. Just like before they started warming up the earth....
