How to Write a Skit Outline

Skits tell a story, typically with a moral. These stories last around five minutes, with simple dialogue. The simplicity of a skit makes it easy to incorporate a new actor at the last minute if needed. Most skits are aimed at a group of children, with the intent of teaching them a behavioral trait or moral idea. A skit outline is very brief and details the concepts that are being imparted.

Instructions

    • 1

      List the main moral that you wish to impart to your audience. This idea will guide you through writing your skit.

    • 2

      Write one sentence that describes the opening of the skit. This should describe what the protagonist is seeking or experiencing as the skit opens.

    • 3

      Make a second sentence that describes the event that will lead him toward the final part of the skit. This could be meeting a character that tempts him to do something wrong, or finding an object and deciding what to do with it.

    • 4

      Write a sentence describing the outcome of the decision the protagonist is required to make, and a brief sentence or two that describes the message you wish the children to receive.
