The Wall That Wouldn't Move — VBS Skit for Kids (15 min)

A 15-minute VBS closing-rally skit that retells Joshua 6 in a kid voice. A modern small group of kids is trying to get into the church gym for game night. There is an invisible wall in front of the door. Nothing they try works — pushing, kicking, bribing the wall with fruit snacks, signing a peace treaty in crayon. Then a kid whose grandma was a Sunday school teacher remembers a story about a city called Jericho. Six silent laps. On the seventh, a trumpet kid blows. A cardboard wall drops from offstage with a soft, satisfying thump.

Theme — The wall didn't fall because we shouted. It fell because we trusted long enough to take the seventh lap.

• Big physical comedy in the first beat — small group tries every wrong thing on the wall
• Six silent laps that feel like a real liturgy — the seventh lap is the moment
• Cardboard "wall" prop drops on cue from offstage when the kids shout
• Built-in director recovery cue ("Round two") for if a march goes off-rhythm
