The Lost Sheep - Bible Skit Script

Summary

This interactive skit retells Jesus’ parable of the Lost Sheep in a playful, gentle way designed especially for young children. A shepherd discovers that one sheep is missing and leaves the rest to search, calling out and inviting the audience to help. The lost sheep hides around the room, creating movement, laughter, and engagement.

Through the shepherd’s loving search, children learn a powerful truth: God never forgets anyone. No matter how small, shy, or lost we feel, God comes looking for us with patience, joy, and compassion.
