Goldie is a rock hound, that means she sniffs out rocks, but not just any rocks-diamonds. Diamonds are a girl's best friend, you know. But in Goldie's travels around the world exploring diamond mines, she discovers a treasure more valuable than diamonds, more precious than rubies- the Bible. Whoever said two heads are better than one might have had Ugh & Lee in mind. This two-headed puppet will double your fun as they help you build character and make biblical principals come alive in your class. One head is named Ugh the other is Lee together you have Ugly! A two headed character may be ugh-lee, but you'll love the laughter and the slapstick humor they bring to your class while they teach scripture and scriptural truths. Maybe you are thinking, but who has a two-headed puppet? You can make one. Wait a minute, it's easy. Just alter a shirt (the pattern comes in the skit book) and stuff two puppets you already have or the Funzel puppets that are inexpensive and a little zany already. Or use these skits for live actors. Find a huge pair of overalls and shirt and put two people inside. Each person has their own leg in the overalls and stick one arm into the shirt. Both heads stuck out of the shirt to make the costumed character look like a two headed person. Your class will love digging in their Bibles with Aristo Rat as their guide. The puppets or actors from the mine will teach an overview of every book in the Bible and illustrate it with the memory symbol on DVD that helps them visualize the theme of each book in the Bible.
Even if you don't have a puppet team
you can involve the children with these simple paper rod puppets for the
children to move as the skits are played. They can be made from the Rod Puppet
Patterns in the complete kit. There are no moveable mouths on these paper
puppets. Just attach them to dowel rods or paint sticks. Or make them large and
out of foam to use under black light. |

Your class will meet Goldie, the Rock Hound, who discovers a treasure more valuable than gold and diamonds, and Ding Bat and Sylvester the Snake that want to steal her treasure; Professor Von Cluck trying to perfect his time machine to find Moses, Koo Koo Bird that is Koo Koo for God's Word and the Old Prospector. Click here for a description of Goldie. Well, Hello there you sugars. I'm Goldie the Rock Hound and I just love hunting for rocks especially diamonds and gold nuggets. I have the unique ability to sniff (sniffs into handkerchief) out rocks (throws over her hand). That's why they call me a rock hound. I'm a pedigree hound dog that sniffs out rocks, but not just any kind of rocks. No sir! Not me, I sniff out jewels and gold (giggles). That's right would you like to see one of my jewels. (shows hand) I traveled half way around the world to find gold and diamonds here in Witswatersrand. A couple weeks ago, I met Aristo Rat. He gave me a wonderful book and told me to do some mining in it. So I did. I found wonderful jewels. Jewels more valuable than all my other jewels put together. (Brings out Bible) I just love it. I just love it. It's my very favorite mine yet! Well, I want to sniff out some more diamonds. Four T's. That means ta ta 'til tomorrow! (EXITS)  Cool Poodle

Ugh
& Lee and candy bar. Ugh needs an opening in his mouth to stuff the candy
bar through. Line his mouth with plastic wrap to keep it from being soiled.
Ugh:

A (name your favorite candy bar), huh? Lee:

You know, Lee. Your favorite candy
bar is one of my favorite candy bars. Lee:
(finishes candy bar) Ugh:
Could I have a bite? Lee:
Sorry, it's all gone. (wads paper
and throws behind him) Ugh:
What do you mean it's all gone? Lee:
I ate it all. It's all gone Ugh! Ugh:

darts off dragging Lee behind. Lee hollers for him to wait up. Voice:
Life is filled with temporary
things, things that are here today and gone tomorrow. God's Word will last
forever. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my Word will not pass
away." Matthew 24:35 Click here to read ideas on using these skits in your class.
Aristo Rat:
Well
good morning, children. My it's good to see you again! Here we are back at the
famous Witwatersrand Gold Field in Johannesburg, S. Africa. We're not here to
explore a mine to find gold that will perish, but a far more valuable gold. We
are "Mining Wisdom from God's Word." Today we move to the next
division of the Bible - History. This section has 12 books in it. They are
Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, I & II
Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. All these books tell about the history of
the nation of Israel. Some of my friends from the gold mine will assist me in a
brief synopsis of these 12 books of history. Puppet:
(enters waving banner) See my
banner, this is a symbol of victory. The first book of history is Joshua. It
tells all about (show banner) the victory and rest that God gave Israel. God
gave Joshua the secret to success- Meditate on the Word. Joshua records their
entrance into Canaan, the division of the land and it's conquest. Bear:
(enter chanting and holding a gavel or show a picture of a gavel) Here comes da
Judge. Here comes da Judge! Dats 'cause Judges is the name of our next book.
It's like an all day sucker, cause the book lasts a long, long time. I don't
mean it takes a long time ta read it, but Judges takes place over a period of
490 years. That's all da way from da first leader after Joshua to da berry last
one before King Saul. (Make voice sound sad.) It's a sad story of da nation of
Israel turning away from God. I think Samuel musta wrote this book. There was
thirteen Judges, and one of them was a girl. God used these Judges to make all
da bad "Ines and Ities" leave them alone. I didn't say "ines and
outtes," or "ines and outs," I said "Ines and Ities."
You know about those "Ities and Ines."
Oh, sure you do the "Ities" and the "Ines." The
Moabites, The Emphraimites, the Midianites they were the Ities. The Philistines
were the Ines. God sent the Judges to get rid of the "Ities" and the
"Ines". Girl
Puppet: (wheat) Oh, I just love
the book of Ruth. It's so romantic. (giggles) But more than just romantic, it
tells the story of God's provision and love. I think Samuel wrote Ruth, yeah, I
think so. Ruth is one of only two books named after a girl. Ruth means friend
and she lived during the time of the Judges. Matthew lists her in the direct
lineage of Jesus Christ, although she was a Moabite. Bye! Duck
Puppet: (mouth) Quack! Quack!
Furst Samuel is witten by Mister Samuel. It tells all about Mister Samuel's
life. Quack! Did you know dat Samuel became da priest 'cause Eli's sons were so
bad. He was a good priest for a long time, too. Quack, Quack! Den da people
wanted a king, so God said O.K! Samuel anointed their very first king by pouring
oil all over his head. (giggle) I sure wish I could've seen that. But da new
king wanted to, Quack, please people more than he wanted to please God. The rest
of dis story is no quack up believe me, cause King Saul and his good son
Jonathan died on da battlefield. Ain't dat sad. Quack, quack! Sheep:
(harp) Baaa! Baaa! I w-w-wanted to
tell you about II Samuel c-c-cause it's the h-h-history of Da-a-avid, the great
sheph-er-er-erd King. It rec-or-or-ords the full establishment of Jerusalem as
the re-re-religious and po-li-li-litical center of I-I-Israel. In this boo-oo-ook
we cle-ar-ar-arly see the c-c-coming of the Mess-i-i-iah from the fam-am-ily of
D-D-David. B-b-bye! Boy:
(crown) Boy, it would be great to
be a real live king. I guess the next best thing is reading about them in Kings
and Chronicles. The prophet kept records of each of the kings. These records
were later compiled by Jeremiah to make Kings and Ezra to make Chronicles. Kings
is considered the political history, while Chronicles is the religious history.
These both were originally one book, but the translators separated them into two
books each. The books close with both Israel and Judah in exile and slavery. Do
you wonder how I know all this stuff? Aristo Rat told me. Bro.
Gray: (temple) Well, Glory! Glad
to be with you today. I here to tell you about a great man and book in the
Bible. Yes I am! Praise, the Lord. That book is . . . a . . . Ezra. That's
right. Amen Let me get my notes. Now Ezra, Hallelujah! is all about tomatoes,
ketchup, no that's my grocery list. Ezra was a preacher, well they called him a
priest in the Bible, but it's the same thing. He was a writer too, cause he
wrote all about Israel's return to their homeland after 70 years of exile.
Hallelujah! It covers a history of about 80 years. Being the good preacher he
was, he helped the people rebuild the temple and re establish worship.
Hallelujah, it's time to go. Puppet:
The
puppet should have the hiccups.(wall)
Nehemiah means comforter. He held an important position as the king's cup
bearer. He asked for a leave of absence and financial assistance to rebuild the
walls of Jerusalem. He was a tremendous organizer, with the commitment to match
the arduous task. Nehemiah was a man of prayer. Star:
(star) Esther means star. She was
a beautiful orphan that became the queen used by God to save Israelites from
annihilation. The name of God is not mentioned once in this entire book.
The books of Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther are contemporary. That means they
all took place around the same time period. Don't mix in the crowd, you can be a
shining star by obeying God's Word. Aristo:
In all the books of history we see
that although leaders failed and people failed, God's Word never failed. He kept
a careful watch over his Word to fulfill His Word, when His people met the
conditions. God's love is never ending. God's faithfulness is limitless. He
remained faithful despite their faithlessness. You are writing the history of
your life everyday. Are you writing a story of commitment to see God's promises
fulfilled in your life? You make the choices. You hold the pen, the future
depends on your obedience to God's word.
