Summary
What Should We Bring the King? It is a humorous and heartfelt children’s skit about discovering what truly matters at Christmas. Three children excitedly prepare gifts for baby Jesus—only to pick the silliest things: board games, sandwiches, giant socks, and even sparkling slime. As they argue and joke, an older child or narrator gently guides them back to the heart of Christmas: Jesus came for our love, obedience, and worship—not fancy gifts.
This skit blends fun, kid-friendly humor with a strong biblical message, reminding everyone that Jesus deserves our hearts more than anything wrapped in a box.
