Christmas Lessons

I'm Gettin' Something Good

     Here is a great dramatization idea to use with the song "I'm Gettin' Something Good!" from the RPM Christmas CD. 

This skit may be performed with children or puppets.

You will need:  Three males, a cute little puppy, 2 presents (with straps for the puppets hands to go into if using puppets), and a Biblical male.

     Boy (lead singer) enters. Backup singers holding a small present enter just prior to backup.

      2nd Verse: Lead boy shows the audience his long list. The list should unfold several times as he drops it over the edge of the stage. Backup should sway back and forth swinging their gifts. Even lifting them over their heads and back down again.

     3rd Verse: A cute, little  puppy rushes on stage. One backup tries to shoo the dog away. The snatches the present with his mouth and runs off. (practice this) Still doing backup, the boy chases the dog off the stage and back on stage again. Remember to sing backup as needed. 

     Gloved hand gives the boy an open Bible. Show props or rear projection visuals of manger scene, cross and key words in the song. Key words can be put on props that look like presents. I suggest the following key words: Something, Good, Eternal Life, His Love.

     Continuing through the chorus. Boy chases the puppy off the stage. Pause off stage. The dog chases the boy onto the stage.

     Pause. Dog comes back onto stage with matching gift wrap in his mouth as if he ripped open the package. He should be shaking his head as if he is tearing the paper and ripping it to pieces.

     Last part of song have puppet in biblical attire enter, take his hand and they exit together.
