Summary

In this light-hearted Christmas skit, three shepherds try to follow the angel’s instructions to reach Bethlehem—but quickly discover they have no sense of direction. Their map is upside down, their sheep keep wandering, and their arguments make everything more confusing. With the help of the audience, the blinking star, and a small moment of quiet faith, the shepherds learn that finding the Savior isn’t about perfect maps or clever shortcuts. It’s about listening, trusting, and looking up when things get confusing.
This easy-to-perform skit brings humor, participation, and a touching reminder that God’s guidance always leads to the right place.
