The Babel Building Crew — Puppet Skit for VBS (10 min)

Foreman Phil is leading a crew of seven puppets building the world's tallest tower so they can be famous without God. Things go great for the first two minutes — they sing a work song, stack pretend bricks, brag about how the tower will reach the clouds. Then God scrambles their language. Suddenly Phil is asking for a hammer and his crew is handing him sandwiches, baby ducks, and a tuba. The whole show becomes a five-minute escalating gibberish comedy until the tower crashes. Phil ends sitting in the rubble, talking straight to the kids: building stuff for our own glory always falls. The tower we should be building points to God.

Theme — Anything we build to make ourselves famous without God falls. The good news is — God is still building, and He invites us in.
