Into All the World – a free Christian clown skit written by John Gravley
MAIN IDEA: to show that God calls us to go into all the world and share the Gospel. Going into all the world means places far away and places close to home.
HELPERS: at least two clowns and five or six other helpers who can be clowns but do not have to be clowns.
SETTING: any stage area will work.
PROPS: a Bible, a paper airplane, something like a passport, a sign and the five pieces to place on the sign.
SKIT: as the skit begins, the helpers take their places on the stage. One helper is “the preacher”, one helper can hold the sign and the four people representing Asia, Europe, Africa and South America take their places according to the following diagram
Stage Area (front)
Clown 2 enters and sits down in front. Clown 1 enters and is very excited. Clown 1 hurries
past Clown 2 on the way to church. Clown 1 takes a seat in front of the Preacher and takes out a Bible to get ready for church.
(This is what the sign should look like. It can be the size of a piece of poster paper.)
 
The Preacher says, “Jesus said, “Go into all the world and make disciples…” Clown 1 listens and responds ready to go. Clown 1 gets up, takes out a passport and paper airplane and goes to Asia. The person holding the Asia sign listens as Clown 1 opens a Bible. Clown 1 point up and points at their heart and then points to the person holding the Asia sign. The Clown can do many actions showing that they are telling the other person about Jesus. The person holding the Asia sign responds and they fold their hands to pray. They hug and the person holding Asia gives Clown 1 the first piece of the sign.
Clown 1 is so excited. Clown 1 returns to church, almost knocking down Clown 2 as Clown 1 enters the church. Clown 1 goes up to the sign and places the Asia piece on the sign. Clown 1 is tired but very happy.

Clown 1 is tired but very happy, Clown 1 has been all over the world. Clown 1 is proud. But then the Preacher again says, “Jesus said, “Go into all the world…” Clown 1 is not sure what to do. Finally Clown 1 remembers Clown 2 who is just outside the church. Clown 1 goes out to talk to Clown 2. Clown 1 shares the Bible with Clown 2. Clown 1 prays with Clown 2. As Clown 2 responds to God, Clown 2 pulls out a heart shaped piece that completes the sign in the Church. Clown 1 brings Clown 2 into the church and completes the SIGN..
