(Jar of Pickles on stage)

Wham-O: I can’t open this jar of pickles! Bark! Open pickles!

Kaboom Girl: Hey, Wham-O, whatcha doing?

Wham-O: I can’t open this pickle jar. I really, really, really want pickles. I’m pickle crazy!

Bam Man: I have super strength! I’ll open that jar of pickles! Give it here, Wham-O. Ugh….ugh….man…this jar is tough! Come on open, jar!

Kaboom Girl: Let me try, guys. One...two…three. Open! Ugh…urrrrgggg…this is one stubborn jar! Maybe if we shoot it with a laser!

Wham-O: (pretend laser) Pew! Pew! Eeehhhh….ehhh…it’s not working!

Bam Man: Alright, how about I hit it with a hammer? (pulls out hammer)

Kaboom Girl: Won’t that break it?

Wham-O: Do it! Do it! Bark! Bark!

Bam Man: Here it goes!(Hit pickles with hammer) Wham! Wham!

Kaboom Girl: That didn’t even break it. How is that possible?

Wham-O: Maybe it’s a superhero pickle jar. I betcha it has super strength! Bark!

Bam Man: Well, I guess we aren’t eating pickles. Hey, what’s our scripture to learn today?

Kaboom girl: It looks like it’s written on the pickle jar.

Wham-O: Oooh! I wanna read it! 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. Bark! What does that mean?

Kaboom Girl: I think it means that God wants everyone to receive Jesus, so they can go to heaven. He wants everyone to be saved!

Bam Man: I think I can say it already, guys. Here I go. 2 Peter 3 zillion: The sword of Link wants no one to eat spinach, but that everyone should eat candy all day long. That is the honest truth! Did I get it guys?

Kaboom Girl: I don’t think so, Bam Man. I think people would get sick eating candy all day long.

Wham-O: I think the pickle jar should tell us the scripture. Ready, pickle jar? (Talks for the pickle jar in a high voice) 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth.

Kaboom Girl: That pickle jar totally nailed it! Let’s have the kids say it with the pickle jar, Wham-O.

Wham-O: (in high voice) 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth.

Bam Man: I think that pickle jar is a genius.

Wham-O: I want to try it! 2 Peter 3:9 The cord is not willing that any should pop a pimple, but that all should come to the knowledge of monster trucks are cool.

Kaboom Girl: Monster trucks? What? Why would a cord not want anyone to pop a pimple? Let’s say this scripture again! Pickle jar, how about you say it!

Wham-O: (high voice) Ready kids? Repeat after me! 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. Wow, these kids are super smart! Look, their brains are huge!

Bam Man: I wonder if they can say it without the pickle jar?

Kaboom girl: I don’t know, I think we should repeat it again just in case. Ready kids? 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth.

Wham-O: See! They are crazy smart. What if they take over the world? Like evil geniuses!

Bam Man: They aren’t going to take over the world, Wham-O. These kids love Jesus!

Kaboom Girl: I wonder if they can say it without the pickle jar? Let’s try it kids! Ready, set, go!

Wham-O: Wow, I’m impressed. I think the pickle jar is impressed too. Look he’s smiling.

Kaboom Girl: He doesn’t have a mouth.

Bam Man: I think I’m going to say it for sure this time. On your mark, get set, go! 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth.

Kaboom Girl: You did it! You did it!

Wham-O: I totally think this pickle jar is a superhero. I think we should give him a superhero name. What do you think kids? Bark! Bark!

Kaboom Girl: That’s a great idea! He could help fight crime with us!

Bam Man: What should his name be, kids?

Wham-O: Those are some great names! Bark! Pickle jar, what do you think? (Pickle jar nods)

Kaboom Girl: Those pickles are alive!

Bam Man: Well, yeah, it was talking!

Wham-O: One more time let’s say that scripture. Ready, set, go! 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. Bark!

Don’t be a Big mouth!

Lesson 1

Puppets: Wham-O, Kaboom Girl, Bam Man

Ephesians 4:29

Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Wham-O: Blah, blah, blabbedy, blabbedy, blah, blah, blah. Bark! Bark!

Kaboom girl: Wham-O, what are you doing?

Wham-O: Well, I was walking into the candy shop when this dog named Spike shoved me out of the way and ran and grabbed all the gummy worms. So, I called him a blah, blah, blah, blabbedy, blabbedy and stomped on his foot!

Bam Man: You called him a what?

Wham-O: A blah, blah, blah, because he was acting like one!

Kaboom girl: Wham-O, were you trying to call him names?

Wham-O: Yah! He totally deserved it, for acting like that! I mean, who steals all the gummy worms!

Bam Man: First off, Wham-O the words blah, blah, blah aren’t insults. If you want to really hurt him you gotta punch him in the face!

Kaboom girl: Bam Man! No! That isn’t the answer! I think we better learn our scripture quick today.

Wham-O: I still think he’s a blah, blah, blah, blabbedy!

Bam Man: Alright, what’s our scripture, Kaboom girl?

Kaboom girl: Ephesians 4:29

Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Wham-O: So I shouldn’t call that dog a blah, blah?

Bam Man: Wait, so I can’t call people fat head, pickle brains, or booger breath anymore? Man!

Kaboom girl: Those words can hurt people, Bam Man, so no, plus booger breath? Gross!

Wham-O: Well let’s see if I can lean that scripture, Kaboom girl.

Bam Man: Eph 4:29?

Kaboom girl: Yup! Eph 4:29 Watch your talk!

Wham-O: Eph 4:29 Pet your hawk!

Bam man: Hawks are so awesome! I one time had a hawk and took it to the park and it ate a frog. It was so amazing!

Kaboom girl: Focus boys! Not pet your hawk. I said WATCH YOUR TALK!

Wham-O: Oh, like put your eye on your mouth? Isn’t that impossible?

Kaboom girl: Kids, can anyone tell these boys what that means? To watch your talk?

Bam Man: Oh, I get it. So make sure what you say isn’t bad, right?

Kaboom girl: Exactly. Let’s try this again. Repeat this after me kids: Eph 4:29, Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Wham-O: I totally got it this time, Bark! Eph 4:29 Watch your talk! No sad swords should be coming from your mouth. Eat all your pudding. Your nerds should help others have a fro.

Bam Man: I want a fro, don’t you think a fro would match my eyes?

Kaboom girl: Kids we better repeat this again for them, cause they aren’t getting at all! Ephesians 4:29

Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Wham-O: Eph 4:29 Watch your talk! Snow rats should be coming from your mouth. Spray water on Sue. Your goobers should help others grow.

Bam Man: I got a spray bottle around here somewhere. Are any of these kid’s named Sue?

Wham-O: I don’t think so, but who cares. (Spray water on kids)

Kaboom girl: Hey guys! I don’t think this scripture says anything about spraying Sue. Kids, maybe you should repeat it again. Help these fellas out! Eph 4:29. Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Bam Man: Like a tree grows? So, if we say nice stuff, people will grow as tall as trees?

Wham-O: Then giants would rule the land! That’d be scary!!

Kaboom girl: Boys, boys, no, no. That’s the wrong kind of growing. It’s talking about growing in your heart.

Bam Man: A tree grows in your heart?!

Wham-O: We better tell everyone!! Trees are taking over the world!

Kaboom girl: Wow. Okay, listen. Can anyone tell them what this scripture means by growing?

Bam Man: Okay let’s try this again Wham-O. I might remember some of it. Eph 4:29 Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Kaboom girl: You got it! Okay, now, you Whamo. Kids, say this again with me, just in case he forgets. Eph 4:29 Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Wham-O: Okay, okay, I got it for sure this time, bark! Eph 4:29 Watch your talk! No bad words should be coming from your mouth. Say what is good. Your words should help others grow.

Kaboom girl: Wow, you got it, Whamo-O.

Bam Man: I’m impressed.

Wham-O: Hey, you guys want to buy me some gummy worms?

Kaboom girl: Gummy worms do sound really, really good.

Bam Man: So now that I can’t call people bad stuff what do I call them?

Kaboom girl: You say nice stuff to them instead.

Wham-O: Like chocolate cupcake, jelly bean, sprinkles, and stuff like that? Bark!

Bam Man: You’re making me hungry! Let’s go get some gummy worms guys.

Bam man: Who are these people?

Wham-O (sniffs, barks)

Kaboom girl: Well, Wham-O?

Wham-O: Oh, there are kids in here? I was barking at a squirrel outside.

Bam man: They keep staring at me. Why are they staring at me?

Kaboom girl: Maybe we should say hi. I’m Kaboom girl!

Bam man: I’m Bam Bacon Man.

Kaboom girl: That is not your name.

Bam man: Bacon is totally my middle name, Kaboom girl. So technically that is my name.

Wham-O: I’m Wham-O!! Bark!

Kaboom girl: Maybe we should ask their names?

Bam man: They look like aliens; I bet they have alien names.

Wham-O: That one looks like cake.

Kaboom girl: I think you’re just hungry, Wham-O.

Wham-O: I am hungry for cake.

Kaboom girl: What are your names, kids?

(Let kids answer)

Bam man: Those sound pretty normal, I guess they are safe, Kaboom girl.

Wham-O: Do we have a scripture to learn today?

Kaboom girl: Oh yeah! Here it is! It says: Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Bam man: I totally got this. Proverbs 31:28 Her chicken smile and fall her obsessed; her hungry hippies also, and he punches her. That was it, right?!

Wham-O: Bam man, you said it wrong. I know it, Kaboom girl. Listen up, Peaches 31:28. Her chipmunks fart and baseball shirts her dressed; her nachos also, and he eats her. I got it!! Bark!

Kaboom girl: Why would her nachos eat her? I’m so confused right now. I don’t think that was the scripture, guys. Kids we better help Bam man and Wham-O. I’ll say the scripture, and you repeat it okay? Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Bam man: I got this now! Proverbs 31:28. Her children arise and call her bacon; her husband also, and he puts peanut butter jelly on her head. Right? Did I do it right?

Wham-O: Let me try this again! Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her breadsticks; her honey-loving poo bear also, and he puts her in a pool of J-E-L-L-O.

Kaboom girl: Weird. No, I don’t think that’s it guys. Kids, they really need help on this. Let’s try that again! Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Bam Man: Wow, these kids are geniuses.

Wham-O: They must eat my dog biscuits because it says on the box, good for brains.

Kaboom girl: Maybe, they do. Maybe you guys should say it with us, Bam man and Wham-O. Okay? Here we go! Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Bam man: I know I got it this time. Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and he buys her a puppy.

Kaboom girl: That was really close, Bam man! You almost got it!

Wham-O: Bark! I got it too! Proverbs 31:28. Don’t put glue in your sister’s hair.

Kaboom girl: Huh?

Wham-O: Oh! That was something my mom told me once! I got this scripture. Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he pours her a drink of milk. Did I do it, Kaboom girl?

Kaboom girl: Well…not quite. Kids, let’s say it really slow, so they can understand it. Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Bam Man: Can I have the kids help me say it again, Kaboom girl?

Kaboom girl: Sure! Ready kids? Let’s say it again for Bam Man. Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

Bam Man: I know I got it this time! Proverbs 31:28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
