Silly Skits

Join Now

Your students will love these ten short and silly skits. They are perfect for class, camp, and assemblies. Or weave them together to make a fun performance. Perfect for elementary and middle school.

Skits are a form of American folklore. For more than a hundred years, children have been gathering at camps, with scout troupes, church groups, and in their backyards to come up with short stories to act out. Skits can offer a creative way to put on a show, without having to stage a full-scale production. Many skits are written so that much of the action can be improvised, or lines ad-libbed, leaving room for individual creativity!

Sample skit:

Cats

Teacher: If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?

Johnny: Seven.

Teacher: No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats, and another two, how many would you have?"

Johnny: Seven.

Teacher: Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples, and another two, how many would you have?

Johnny: Six.

Teacher: Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats, and another two, how many would you have?

Johnny: Seven!Drama Cat

Teacher: How in the world do you get seven?

Johnny: Because I already have one cat!
