A Wonderful Journey [children's story action poem]

Life’s a wonderful journey – you just need to look and see.

The joy is all around you - buzzing like a bee.

You’ll find there’s bunny rabbits – and bouncing Kangaroos

And tweeting sweet canaries – and ruckus cockatoos

There’s flitter flutter Butterflies - and high up soaring eagles

Bouncing pouncing Kittens - and sniffing snuffing beagles

There’s Rivers flowing gently, and waterfalls that thunder

Sunsets shining sweetly - and starry skies of wonder

Cheery Daisies sprouting - and the majestic smelling rose

Juicy luscious mangoes – and crispy potatoes

Music filling airwaves – making wondrous harmony sound

We can run and jump and roll - and go dancing round and round

There’s friends we meet all over - to hang out with for fun

To go play tag together or swimming when there’s sun

And then of course there’s Family, who love us on our journey

Some with booming laughter, and others with faces ferny

Now, sometimes on our journey – it can get so very sad

Though God is always with us - when things go scary bad

You may not see God’s there - when you’re blinded by some trouble

But he’ll be there beside you - even when you’ve burst your bubble

And when our Jesus returns - and re-makes all things new

Our wonderful journey won’t end - we’ll simply continue

And forever we will live - no dying, not even spew.

Our wonderful journey’s together - with God, and me and you.

[You know what were missing? - ACTIONS - How about you stand up and this time you do the actions to the poem for me. ]

Christian Drama Honour

Pathfinder Christian Drama honor scripts!

See:

• www.gcyouthministries.org/honor/christian-drama/ 
• wiki.pathfindersonline.org/w/AY_Honors/Christian_Drama

 

Here are some scripts I wrote specifically for completing the Christian Drama Honour, designed for a large group of Pathfinders where it's unknown exactly how many kids you'll have to act on the day, but all can be included:

• Bible Heroes 2.oh [a science fiction themed look at the Bible hero's power coming from God]

• Leaving Slavery...Again [Skit for a large group of kids about Moses, Pharaoh, the plagues and crossing the Red Sea]

Some additional scripts which have a reasonable number of cast, that can be generally adapted to the number of kids you have on the day, all generally contributing a few moments of their own each, include:

• Tough Job

• Compassionisation

• Joseph Forgives

 

 Note: there are also Puppets Pathfinder honors out there!
