The Not-So-Wise Men: a 5-Minute Skit

Summary:
In this lighthearted Christmas skit, three “wise” men get hilariously lost on their way to Bethlehem. They argue over directions, gifts, and who’s the smartest among them—until an angel appears and reminds them that true wisdom isn’t about knowing everything, but about following God’s light.

Filled with playful banter, easy humor, and a meaningful message, The Not-So-Wise Men is perfect for children’s ministry, Sunday school, or family services. It’s simple to stage—just robes, small boxes for gifts, and a cardboard star—but rich with laughter and heart.

By the final scene, the travelers realize that the greatest gift they can bring isn’t gold or myrrh—it’s humility before the newborn King.

Why You’ll Love It:
Easy to perform, fun for all ages, and ends with a touching reminder that even the “not-so-wise” can find Jesus if they follow His light.
