Adam Names the Animals

Narrator:

[Parent, brother or sister can read this part]

In the beginning after God made Adam and the animals, He needed to take some time off, so he asked Adam if he wouldn't mind naming the animals. Little did Adam know but this job would be harder than he thought.

GOD:

(very deep voice)

Adam

Adam: 

(Looking left and right and up and down)

Yes, did somebody call me?

GOD: 

Yes Adam I called you, I would like for you to name the animals for me while I take a little nap, Creating everything can be a tiresome job, if you know what I mean.

Adam:

Well God, I don’t think I can know what you mean. You see, I have never created anything.

GOD:

Oh yes, excellent point. Well anyhoo, let’s get started naming those little critters out there, whattaya say to that?

Adam:

Ok, you da boss

GOD:

(Having grown tired of the bantering God uses a tad more force in his voice)

No, you da boss, now get naming.

Adam and the Creatures

Adam:

(Moving back and forth across the stage looking off in the distance)

Here, creature, creature, creature

Here thingy, thingy, thingy

Animal:

   (Use other hand with animal puppet and come on stage by hopping, slithering, or any other movement that is appropriate for animal character)

   Uh, hello, 

Adam:

   (Not paying attention to little animal)

   Here thingy creature whatever you might be

Animal:

   Hello, hello, hellooooooooh

Adam:

   (Turns to see where the noise is coming from and is startled to see the animal standing there)

   [Adam jumps and says]

   What are you Who are you Where did you come from

Animal:

   Boy, you sure ask allot of questions

   I don’t know who I am

   I just came here cause you called me here, sooo

   Wuzzup 

Adam:

   Well God asked me to give all the animals a name

Animal:

   Awesome, now I can finally know who I am

Adam:

   Alright, here we go

   (Adam turns toward animal)

   You are a(or an) [insert name of puppet animal here]

Animal:

   Aw I wanted to be a Lion

Adam:

   Why would you want to be a liar? God wants us all to speak truth, one to another. Because God is truth.

Animal:

   Oh, you think I said Liar, no, I said LION as in ROAR! Something big and strong.

Adam:

   Hmmm, I see what you mean, Ok, you are a Li—— ack ack ack

   Cough cough cough

  Apparently, I can’t change my mind once I give a name

   So you will be a[same name as before] 

Animal:

   Yay, now I know who I am

   Animal skips off stage while saying

   I’m a [animal name], I'm a [animal name], I'm a [animal name]

Adam:

   This could actually be fun

   (Turns and walks off stage)

   Here thingy, thingy, thingy

Eve talks to the animals

Narrator:

     Eve is feeling a little bit left out while Adam continues his task of naming the animals, so she sets out to talk to the animals.

Eve:

     (Eve sways back and forth as she moves across the stage singing her own happy song)

     Doo Wha, Doo Wha,

          Doo Whapee Doo Wha

     Doo Wha, Doo Wha,

          Doo Whapee Doo Dee

Animal:

     (Animal begins to skip and sing with Eve as she turns and goes to the other side of the stage. When she turns around both she and the animal jump in surprise)

     What were you doing?

Eve:

     Well I'm sure I don't know what I was doing, why do you ask?

Animal:

     I'm not positive, but it sounded like you were singing.

Eve:

     Singing, hmmm, SING-ing, hmmm, that has a nice ring to it.

     Yes! Singing, that's what I was doing, I was singing.

     (Eve starts singing and swaying back and forth while she sings)

     Singing, Singing, I was singing

     Singing singing I sing pretty

     Singing singing I am singing

Animal:

     Ahem, cough, cough, cough

Eve:

     Oh my, little creature thingy, are you alright?

Animal:

     Yes, I'm alright, I'm just not sure you're alright. Why are you over here by that tree?

Eve:

     Well, you see, little creature thingy...

Animal:

     Excuse me, Miss Pretty Sing-ing Lady, I'm not a little creature thingy, I happen to be a [finger puppet animal name]

Eve:

     Oh, is that so? And how did you happen to come by that name?

Animal:

     Adam named me. How cool is that?

Eve:

     Um, I guess that is cool, but I think this tree is cooler, look at that thingy hanging off the tree, isn't it pretty?

     (Eve reaches to touch the fruit on the tree)

Animal:

     NO, DON'T TOUCH THAT FRUIT!

Eve:

     Why not?

Animal:

     Didn't you hear God tell Adam not to eat of the fruit of this tree? It'll kill ya!!!

Eve:

     Sure, I heard God tell Adam that, but He was talking to Adam, not me.

Animal:

     It was as good as if he were talking to us all, I'm getting out of here.

Eve:

     Ok, By-eee

     (Turns and walks back toward the tree while singing her new song)

     Singing, singing, I sing pretty

     Singing singing I am singing

     Singing singing Let's sing togetherrrrr (voice trails off)

     It's not as much fun singing by myself.

Serpent:

Eve:

     Really, you will, oh boy!

Serpent:

Eve:

Serpent:

     Aren't you intereSsssted in thiSss tree?

Eve:

     Tree, what tree? Oh right, no I was mistaken, God told us not to eat of that tree, or else we will DIE!

Serpent:

     Now wait a hot dog minute there! YOU Ssshall not die but you will become like God if you eat this fruit.

Eve:

     Hmmmm, Adam did not tell me that part. And it does look more delicious than any other fruit in the garden. And if I become like God then maybe I can name some of these animals too. After-all what kind of a name is Elephant, can you even spell elephant? Hmmm

Serpent:

     E-L-E-P-H-A-N-T (spell it like a song)
