Scene 1 – Before the Beginning 

(optional: shut light off, guide could be speaking with a flashlight)  

Guide (dramatic whisper): Before trees… Before oceans… Before animals… Before YOU There was… nothing. 

Riley (looking around nervously): Um. I don’t like this. It’s too quiet. Is this broken? 

Narrator: “In the beginning… the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep.” 

Guide: No color. No sound. No light. But even then… God was there. 

💡 Scene 2 – Let There Be Light 

Narrator: “And God said, ‘Let there be light.’” 

Guide (big voice): And BOOM! (Everyone act blinded dramatically.) 

Riley: Okay WOW. That’s better. 

Guide:  God didn’t build light.  He didn’t flip a switch. He SPOKE. And light appeared. And what did God say? (Cue kids.) 

Kids:  IT WAS GOOD! 

Guide: Day One! (Hold up one finger — kids copy.) 

☁️ Scene 3 – The Sky 

Guide:  Day Two — God separated the waters. Water above. Water below. 

Riley (pushing imaginary water up and down): Up there! Down here! 

Guide: And the sky stretched wide and blue. What did God say? 

Kids: IT WAS GOOD! 

Guide: Day Two! (Hold up two fingers — kids copy.) 

🌿 Scene 4 – Land & Plants (Movement Moment) 

Guide: Day Three — things get WILD. God gathered the water so dry land could appear! 

Riley (jumping): Solid ground! Finally! 

Guide: Then plants burst out of the earth! Show me your tallest tree! (Kids stretch tall.) Now your tiniest flower! (Kids crouch small.) Fruit trees. Grass. Jungle vines everywhere! And what did God say? 

Kids: IT WAS GOOD! 

Guide: Day Three! (Hold up three fingers — kids copy.) 

☀️ Scene 5 – Sun, Moon & Stars 

Guide: Day Four — lights in the sky! The sun for daytime! 

Riley (huge arms): Bright and hot! 

Guide: The moon for nighttime! 

Narrator (gentler tone): Soft and glowing. 

Guide: And the Bible says… “He also made the stars.” Billions of them. Just by speaking. And what did God say? 

Kids:  IT WAS GOOD! 

Guide: Day Four! (Hold up four fingers — kids copy. 

🐦 Scene 6 – Sky & Sea Animals (Fun Chaos) 

Guide: Day Five — it gets noisy! Birds filled the sky! (Actors flap and squawk.) Fish filled the sea! Whales splashed! 

Guide (to kids): On the count of three, shout your favorite animal! 1… 2… 3! (Let chaos happen briefly.) 

Riley (covering ears): Okay that is WILD. 

Guide: God smiled. And what did He say? 

Kids: IT WAS GOOD! 

Guide: Day Five! (Hold up five fingers — kids copy.) 

🐘 Scene 7 – Land Animals & People 

Guide: Day Six — more animals! Elephants stomp! (Heavy steps.) Lions roar! (Big roar.) Frogs hop!  (Little jumps.) Ants march! (Tiny steps.) 

Riley: Okay THIS is my favorite day. 

Guide:  And God saw that it was good. But then something different happened. God didn’t just speak this time. 

Narrator: “The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” 

Guide (gentle): God formed people. And breathed His breath into them. Everyone take a deep breath. That breath? That’s a gift from God. God made people in His image. Different from animals. Created for relationship. Then God looked at everything. And this time He said… 

Narrator: “It was VERY good.” 

Guide (big smile): Not just good. VERY good. Say it loud! 

Kids: VERY GOOD! 

Guide: Day Six! (Hold up six fingers — kids copy.) 

🌿 Scene 8 – Rest & Setup for Night Two 

Guide: Day Seven — God rested. Not because He was tired. But because His work was complete. From darkness… to light. From empty… to life. From nothing… to something beautiful. 

Riley (thoughtful): So everything started perfect? 

Guide: Yes. 

Riley: Then… why isn’t everything perfect now? 

(Pause. Let that sit.) 

Guide:  Because sometimes people make wild messes… But God always has a wild rescue. And that is a story for tomorrow, and when life feels wild… 

All + Kids: GOD IS STILL GOOD!  

Guide or Narrator: and guess what God made you! I want you guys to know and remember that you are made in the image of God, and he made each of you special.  Say it with me- GOD MADE ME  

Cast:  

• Jungle Guide (main storyteller, energetic) 

• Noah (kind, steady, faithful) 

• Riley the Skeptic (funny, dramatic, asks what kids are thinking) 

• (Optional 4th) Narrator (can be read by Guide if needed) 

🌧 Scene 1 – Uh Oh… The World Got Wild 

(Jungle noises. Guide enters excited.) 

Guide: Explorers! Remember how God made the world? Light! Trees! Animals! People! And it was VERY good! But… something changed. People stopped listening to God. 

Riley (shrugging): Eh. We don’t need instructions. We’ll just do whatever we want! 

Guide:
That’s exactly what happened. Instead of being kind — people were mean. Instead of sharing — they were selfish. Instead of thanking God — they ignored Him. The world got messy. Wild in the wrong way. 

Narrator (if used): “The Lord saw how great the wickedness had become.” 

Guide (softly): It broke God’s heart. But there was one man who still trusted God. 

All (cue kids):
NOAH! 

Noah steps forward. 

🛠 Scene 2 – Build WHAT?! 

Guide: One day, God told Noah something surprising. 

Narrator: “Make yourself an ark.” 

Riley: A what now? 

Guide: An ark. A giant boat. 

Riley (looking around wildly): Do you see an ocean? A lake? A swimming pool?! 

Noah (calm): God said a flood is coming. 

Riley (dramatic gasp): From the SKY?! 

Noah: Yes. 

Riley (to kids): Would YOU build a boat in the middle of dry land? 

(Let kids respond.) 

Guide: It probably didn’t make sense. But Noah trusted God. 

Noah (nods): If God says build, I build. 

(Noah begins exaggerated slow hammering. Make it funny and dramatic.) 

Guide: He built… And built… And built… 

Riley (wiping fake sweat from Noah’s head): You’re still building?! 

Guide: For YEARS. 

The Bible says: 

Narrator: “Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” 

🐘 Scene 3 – The Animal Parade (High Energy) 

Guide: Then God said, “Bring animals into the ark. Two of every kind.” 

Riley: Two?! Of EVERY kind?! That’s a zoo! 

Guide (to kids): Let’s help Noah. When I point to you, shout an animal! 

Guide: Elephants! (Actor stomps heavily) Lions! (Actor roars.) Monkeys! (Actor scratches and jumps.) Penguins! (Actor waddles.) 

Riley: How is Noah going to catch them all?! 

Guide: Here’s the amazing part… 

Narrator: “The animals came to Noah.” 

Riley: They just… walked in?! 

Noah (gesturing grandly): This way, please! 

Guide: When God tells you to obey, He helps you obey. Finally, everyone was inside. And then… 

Narrator: “The Lord shut him in.” 

(Pause for effect.) 

🌧 Scene 4 – SO. MUCH. RAIN. 

Guide: Then it started to rain. Let’s make rain sounds! (Kids pat knees softly.) Harder! (Get louder.) Forty days. Forty nights. That’s more than a month! 

Riley (pretending to feel the rain): It’s still raining?! 

Guide: Water covered the ground. Covered the trees. Covered the mountains. But the ark floated safely. Inside were people and animals. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. 

Riley (small voice): What if God forgot them? 

Narrator: “But God remembered Noah.” 

Guide (warmly): God never forgets His people. Even when you’re scared. Even when you’re waiting. Even when life feels stormy. 

🌬 Scene 5 – Finally! 

Guide: The rain stopped. God sent a wind. The water slowly went down. After many months, the ark rested on dry land. 

Noah (deep breath): We’re safe. (All step forward like exiting ark.) 

Narrator: Do you know what Noah did first? Did he build a house? Did he take a nap? No. He thanked God. 

Noah (bowing head briefly): Thank You for saving us. 

🌈 Scene 6 – The First Rainbow 

Guide: Then God made a promise. Never again would He flood the whole earth. And He put a sign in the sky. 

Riley (looking up): Whoa… what’s that? 

Guide: A rainbow. Big. Bright. Beautiful. The first one ever. 

Guide (to kids): What do rainbows remind us of? (Let kids answer.) God keeps His promises. 

❤️ Scene 7 – The Bigger Rescue 

Guide: Here’s the most important part. The story of Noah isn’t just about animals and boats. It’s about rescue. People still sin today. We still choose selfishness. We still mess up. We still need rescue. And God didn’t send another ark. He sent Jesus. The ark saved Noah from the flood. Jesus saves us from sin. That’s the biggest rescue ever. 

🎉 Big Finish 

Guide: When you see a rainbow, remember: God keeps His promises. God remembers you. God saves! And he saves you! (salvation night?)

Guide:  And God sent a HUGE rescue — the ark! 

Riley: Still my favorite. Animals everywhere. 

Guide: After that, time passed… And God was still working. Still keeping His promises. 

🚶 Scene 2 – God Calls Abraham 

(Abraham enters, minding his business.) 

Guide: One day, God spoke to a man named Abram. 

Riley: Abram? 

Guide: Later called Abraham. 

Narrator (or Guide): “Go from your country… to the land I will show you.” 

Abraham (confused): Go… where? (Looks around.) 

Riley: Good question. 

Guide: God didn’t tell him where. 

Riley (to kids): Would YOU go on a trip without knowing where you’re going? 

(Let kids answer.) 

Abraham (thinking, then nodding): I don’t know where… But I trust God. 

Guide: And he went. 

🎒 Scene 3 – The Journey (Comedy Walking Bit) 

(All three start walking in place.) 

Riley: Are we there yet? 

Abraham: No. 

Riley: Now? 

Abraham: No. 

Riley: Now?? 

Abraham (smiling): Still no. 

Guide: Abraham kept going. Because even when he didn’t know the plan… He trusted the One who did. 

🌍 Scene 4 – The Big Promise 

Guide: When Abraham arrived, God made him a HUGE promise. 

Narrator: “I will make you into a great nation… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” 

Abraham (amazed): A great nation? 

Riley: That means a BIG family. 

Guide: So big… you couldn’t count it. 

🟤 Scene 5 – Counting Sand 

Guide (to kids): Pretend you’re holding sand. Try to count every grain! Go! 

(Pause for fun counting chaos.) 

Riley: One… two… a billion… I quit! 

Guide: God said Abraham’s family would be like that. Too many to count. 

Abraham (hopeful): Wow… 

😟 Scene 6 – The Problem 

Guide: There was just one problem. 

Riley: Uh oh. 

Guide: Abraham didn’t have any kids. 

Abraham (honest, a little sad): Not even one. 

Guide: Years passed. Still no child. 

Riley: That’s awkward… 

⭐ Scene 7 – The Stars Moment 

Narrator: “God took him outside and said, ‘Look up at the sky and count the stars… if you can.’” 

(All look up.) 

Guide: Imagine a sky FULL of stars. 

Guide (to kids): Point up — how many stars?  

(Let kids respond.) 

Riley: Too many! 

Guide: God said, “That’s how many people will be in your family.” 

Abraham (quiet but strong): I believe You. 

Narrator: “Abraham believed the Lord.” 

😂 Scene 8 – The Laugh 

Guide: More years passed. Abraham got VERY old. 

Riley: Like… how old? 

Guide: Almost 100. 

Riley: WHAT? 

Guide: And God said… “You’re going to have a baby.” 

(Pause. Riley laughs hard.) 

Riley: A BABY?! At 100?! 

Abraham (laughing too, shaking head): That sounds impossible. 

🙌 Scene 9 – Promise Kept 

Guide: But God keeps His promises. One year later…They had a baby boy. 

Abraham (overjoyed): A son! 

Guide: His name was Isaac. And his family grew… And grew… And grew… Until it was too big to count. 

❤️ Scene 10 – The Bigger Promise 

Guide: God also promised something even bigger. That ALL people would be blessed through Abraham’s family. Do you know how? (Pause) Through Jesus. Jesus came from Abraham’s family. And He came to rescue the world. 

🎯 Big Finish 

Guide: Here’s what we learn: God keeps His promises. Even when it takes a long time. Even when it seems impossible. But there’s something else…God calls people. 

Riley (to kids): And sometimes… you don’t even know the whole plan. 

Abraham: But you can still say yes. 

Guide: God called Abraham…  And He followed. And guess what? God is calling YOU too. Maybe to be kind. Maybe to help someone. Maybe to do something brave. 

Guide (building energy): When God calls you… 

All: WE CAN SAY YES! 

Guide: When life feels wild… 

All + Kids: GOD IS STILL GOOD! 

🙏 Closing 

Guide: Just like Abraham said yes to God… You can say yes too. Let’s pray
