Saint Stories | Skits about Catholic Saints

Introducing Saint Stories: Skits about Catholic Saints

My wonderful little (correction…younger, not little) brother has created a series of short plays & skits about the saints. These Skits about Catholic Saints are perfect for kids to read and perform with their class for a quick, easy lesson on the saints. The reading level is appropriate for elementary kids, but people of any age will learn something and enjoy the cute format of these stories!

I plan to have a group of parents perform one (with no practice!) for their kindergarten students in the faith formation class that I teach.

There are tons of Saint Stories to use throughout the year!

They are available individually or in a growing bundle. Right now there are 16 Saint Skits, but I’m making more all the time!

Saint Stories | Skits about Catholic Saints

Skits about Catholic Saints that be used as an easy lesson or activity to teacher students about the Saints of the Catholic Church. These plays can be used in the classroom, at Faith Formation, Religious Ed, CCD, or any group activity. The skits are easy to read and come with a worksheet to help review and reinforce the learning about the saints. #catholic #catholicteacher #catholicmom

I made a worksheet to go along with the Saint Stories. It’s a simple way for kids to write, draw, and think a little deeper about the saint they’re learning about. The worksheet includes:

a spot to summarize the life of the saint
a place to write what we can learn from that particular saint
spaces for the patronage and feast day
a box to draw a picture of the saint
a line for a quote or saying from the saint
and at the bottom, there’s a Church history timeline so kids can add the saint and see where they fit in the big picture

It’s an easy add-on to any saint lesson and helps make the story stick a little more!

Here is an excerpt from Saint Stories: John Bosco

John Bosco: They are working for you and going to school. I am their main teacher. I teach by showing them how much I love them and how much God loves them.

Narrator: One day, Fr. John Bosco had Mass, and many more people showed up than he expected. He did not have enough Communion Hosts for everyone to receive Jesus! When he noticed that, he started praying. Everyone was able to receive Jesus that day!

Person: Fr. John Bosco! That was an amazing miracle! There were not enough hosts for everyone to receive Jesus, but they were multiplied so that everyone could! It is just like the time that Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes!

John Bosco: I guess that was an amazing miracle, but it isn’t near as exciting as the miracle that happens every time that I have Mass. The hosts may have been multiplied, but each time I say Mass, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus! That is much more amazing than anything else that I have ever seen!

Tips for Using the Saint Skits with Your Class or Group:

Pick strong narrators. The narrator usually has the biggest part, so choose someone who’s a confident reader and can keep the story flowing.
Match characters with care. Look at the main characters ahead of time and assign those roles to students who can handle a little more reading or acting.
Limit the accents. Yes, accents can be fun… for the first 10 seconds. A fake Scottish accent from your narrator might sound cute at first, but by the end? Not so much. Plus, it’s important to be respectful and avoid anything that could feel like cultural appropriation.
Decide on your vibe. Is this going to be a casual read-aloud with kids reading parts from their seats? Or are you planning to practice and perform it like a real play? Either way works—just know what you’re aiming for.
Don’t stress perfection. These skits are meant to be simple and fun. The goal is to learn about the saints, not to win an Oscar.
Let everyone participate. If you’ve got more kids than parts, add some echo reading, group lines, or have multiple narrators take turns.
Use the worksheet afterward. It’s a great way for students to reflect on the story and connect it to what they’ve learned.

If you’re looking for a fun and meaningful way to teach kids about the saints, these short saint skits are perfect! They’re easy to read, simple to perform, and a great way to bring the lives of the saints to life in your classroom or faith formation group. Whether students are acting them out or just reading aloud, they’ll learn about real Catholic role models in a format that’s engaging and memorable. Pair them with the matching worksheet for a quick, complete lesson that works for any age group!
