Noah’s Ark Storytelling 

Welcome to Creative Drama! Begin to form an object with play dough. Have you 

ever created something that didn’t turn out the way you wanted? Allow kids to 

respond. What did you do? (trash it, start over) That may have been what God was 

doing in today’s story, let’s find out! 

Today’s story takes place many years after God created the world. Use your 

hands and fingers to help me tell this story. Help kids find Noah’s Ark on pages 

20-25 of the Spark Story Bible. Encourage kids to follow along as you read, using 

their hands to depict objects and motions as they occur in the story. 

What did God tell Noah to build? (big boat, ark) Who went into the ark? (Noah, 

Noah’s family, two of every animal) What do you think Noah’s family did for fun on 

the ark? Accept all answers. What did God put into the sky as a reminder never 

to flood the whole earth again? (a rainbow)

Noah’s Ark — 83 

CREATIVE DRAMA

God was disappointed with his creation, so God decided to flood the earth and 

start all over. God used Noah’s family and the animals to fill the earth again with 

new people and animals. We are some of those new people. We are God’s new 

creation! 

Let’s pretend we were with Noah and the animals during the flood. Get ready to 

tell the story of Noah’s Ark in a BIG way! 

Activate Faith (25 minutes) 

Noah’s Grand Adventure 

Set Up: 

• Place the craft supplies where kids can create with them. 

• Designate a place where face painting will occur. 

• Place the rainsticks, drums, tubes, instruments, lids and recording in an area of 

the room near the stage. 

• Hang a bedsheet backdrop to designate where the stage area will be. 

• (Optional) Create several colors of face paint. Store the paint in airtight 

containers. Use soap and water to remove. 

Mix 2 parts cornstarch with 1 part cold cream. 

Add 1 part water. 

Add food coloring as desired. 

Activity Instructions 

Prepare to present the skit 

Invite the kids to join one of three groups: Sight (scenery and costumes), Sound 

(sound effects), or Movement (actors and directors). Assign a Shepherd or Leader 

to assist each group. 

Sight Group 

• Your group will help create the things we see during the skit. What are some 

big things to see in this story? (ark, rainbow, flood, animals, etc.) Decide what 

part you would like to help make. Which of these supplies could you use? 

• 

What are some things you can use to create costumes for Noah and the 

animals in this story? Encourage kids to make costume suggestions to the 

actors. 

Assist kids with face painting as necessary. 

• What color is this animal? Does 

this animal have stripes, spots, or scales? Keep the paint away from the 

eyes.

Sound Group 

• Demonstrate how the different instruments can be used. What do these 

sounds remind you of? How can you make big sounds with these 

instruments? 

• Have kids decide when to add sound effects during the story. What did God’s 

voice sound like? What did Noah hear when the animals were inside of 

the boat? Assign specific kids to create specific sounds during the story, if 

necessary. 

• Help kids operate the storm recording. When did the rain start and stop? Did 

the rain come quickly or slowly? How loud was the rain? 

Movement Group 

• Invite volunteers to play the parts of Noah, Noah’s Family, and the Animals. 

You will act out your parts as the narrator reads the story. The Sight Group 

will help you with your costumes, and our director(s) will help you think of 

where and how to move. 

• 

Invite a volunteer or two to act as the director(s) and a leader to act as the 

narrator. The narrator reads Noah’s Ark from the Spark Story Bible. Think of 

the animals. How do they move? How do they get into the boat? What does 

Noah do when the rain starts? Decide who comes on the stage when. 

Present the skit 

Gather the kids near the stage area. Have the Sight Group check the set and be 

ready with any additional props. Have the Sound Group position themselves off 

stage and be ready with their instruments. Instruct the actors who begin on stage 

to take their places while the other actors stand to one side of the stage with the 

director(s). Invite the narrator to stand near the director(s). Everyone else takes a 

place in the audience. 

We’re about to begin a grand adventure! Come with me to Bible times, where we 

will meet a man named Noah. Watch and listen carefully, because the adventure 

is about to begin. Cue the narrator to begin reading the story on page 20 of the 

Spark Story Bible. 

Following the skit 

Gather the kids to debrief the story. Who was the most colorful animal in our 

skit? Allow kids to respond to this and the following questions. Who listened to 

God and built the big boat? (Noah) Who did God keep safe on the boat? (Noah, 

Noah’s family, animals) Point to the picture on page 25 of the Spark Story Bible. 

What happened when the flood was over? (Noah, his family, and the animals came 

out. God put a rainbow in the sky.) 

God put a rainbow in the sky as a promise never to flood the whole earth again. 

God helped Noah’s family fill the earth with all kinds of people. We are some of 

those people. We are God’s new creation!

family safe when the flood came. Who else was in the ark? (animals) How did you 

feel when you got to create part of the skit today? Accept all answers. That may 

have been how God felt when he created us. God promised never to flood the 

whole earth again. We are God’s new creation!

Welcome to Creative Drama. I have a question. What is the longest time you‘ve 

ever had to wait? Allow kids to respond to this and the following questions. Have 

you ever had to wait for 600 years? 

Today’s story is Noah and the Ark. How many of you know this story? Many of 

us know the basics of the story, but we’re going to dig a little deeper. How long 

did the flood last? Let’s find out. 

Invite volunteers to read the following passages from pages 8-11 in the Spark Bible. 

• Genesis 7:6-12 

• Genesis 7:23-24 

• Genesis 8:4-5 

• Genesis 8:13-17 

• Genesis 9:28-29 

Encourage kids to mark a passage with an I Looked It Up, I Read It or Makes Me 

Wonder sticker, writing their responses in the margin with a pencil.

How old was Noah when he entered the ark? (600 years) How old was Noah 

when he left the ark? (601 years) Why do you think God waited until Noah was 

600 years old to send the flood? Allow kids to respond. 

Just like Noah, we sometimes wonder about God’s timing. I’m sure Noah 

wondered why God waited until he was 600 to send the flood, and why he spent 

a year on the ark with all of those animals, but God knew why. God’s timing is 

perfect. 

We’re going to put on a skit where timing is important! 


Days of Noah’s Life 

Set Up: 

• Place the paper, boxes, streamers, bag, and supplies where kids can create 

with them. 

• Set the costumes, props, and instruments where kids can choose among them. 

• Hang a bedsheet backdrop to designate a stage area. 

• Make several copies of the serial drama script. 


Before the serial drama: 

How many of you are familiar with serial dramas or soap operas? Allow kids to 

respond to this and the following questions. If you were to tell Noah’s story as a 

serial drama, how would it look? Let’s do a quick exercise to get you warmed up! 

Invite the kids to join in making the following facial expressions. 

• Surprise— Pretend there is a monkey in your living room. 

• Concern— Think, “Did I leave the stove on when I left home?” 

• Sadness— What if your dog, cat, and goldfish all died on the same day? 

• Excitement— Pretend there are 50 Christmas presents with your name on 

them! 

• 

Invite volunteers to play the parts of God, Noah, Noah’s wife, Noah’s kids, 

animals, and narrator. Give each volunteer a script. Look through the 

costumes and props to see what might work for your character. Animals, 

choose a stuffed animal that you will represent. You will actually hold and 

become an extension of that animal. Read through your parts, and ask 

questions if you have them. Practice making dramatic facial expressions and 

movements in front of each other.

Recruit a group of kids to be the stage crew. Give the crew copies of the script. 

What will the set look like? Remember to include an ark, a rainbow, and a 

large calendar. What other props might be fun to include? Decide who will 

make what. Use any supplies that might be helpful. Figure out if there will be 

any changes to the set during the serial drama. 

Have one or two volunteers create sound effects for the serial drama. Give the 

volunteers copies of the script. Invite them to explore the instruments. When 

does it make sense to add a sound effect to the story? What kind of sounds 

will you make to add interest to the drama? 

(Optional) Encourage a couple of kids to develop a short commercial to act 

out in between the scenes of the serial drama. What type of a product would 

have appealed to Noah? (animal feed, air freshener, flood insurance, etc.) Create 

a prop and short sales pitch for your product! 

Perform the serial drama: 

Gather the kids near the stage area. Have the actors take their places either on 

stage or to one side. Ask the narrator to stand on the other side of the stage. Direct 

the sound and stage crew to be ready with their sounds and props. Ask all a the 

rest of the kids to take a seat in the audience. 

It had been many years since God created the earth. The people were all evil 

except for one man, Noah. This is a story about that man. Get ready to watch 

and listen because these are the Days of Noah’s Life! 

Following the serial drama: 

Gather the kids to debrief the story. What surprised you about the Noah story? 

Allow kids to answer this and the following questions. What happened to all of the 

people and animals who weren’t on the ark? (they died) 

Direct kids to read Genesis 6:7-8 on page 7 of the Spark Bible. Invite kids to mark 

the passage with a Makes Me Feel, Something I Like, or Something I Don’t Like 

Spark Bible Sticker, using a pencil to mark their response in the margin. How do 

we know it was the right time for God to blot out creation and start over? (God’s 

timing is perfect.) What did God put in the sky as a reminder never to flood the 

entire earth again? (rainbow) Like Noah, we don’t always know why we have to 

wait for God to do something, but we do know God’s timing is perfect.

Wrap Up 



Thank you for coming to Creative Drama! We had fun telling the story of Noah

kids to respond. 

Prayer Time 

During our closing prayer, let’s pause and give God some time to put some 

thoughts in our hearts. 


You are all powerful and all knowing. Thank you for your perfect timing. Help me

Noah’s family had everything they needed. God gives us what we need. Let’s act 

out a skit as if we were traveling with Noah today! 


Welcome to the Ark! 

Set Up: 

• Place the paper, boxes, markers, scissors, and tape where kids can use them. 

• Write the word MENU on one side of a posterboard and ACTIVITIES on the 

other. 

• Set the fabric, hats, gloves, purses, sunglasses, suitcases, clipboards and 

megaphone where kids can choose among them. 

• Place the rest of the props near the stage. 

• Hang a bedsheet as a backdrop to designate a stage area. Place the chart stand 

toward the front on one side of the stage. 

• Make several copies of the skit script. 


Before the skit: 

Today, when people take a trip on a big boat, we call it a cruise. The crew on the 

cruise ship makes sure everyone has what they need during the trip. We’re going 

to pretend that Noah’s story is happening today on a cruise ship. I wonder what 

that will be like. 

• Invite some kids to create the scenery and set the stage. What might you find 

on the deck of a cruise ship? How can you make a rainbow to use at the end 

of a skit? Invite kids to be in charge of displaying the rainbow toward the end 

of the skit. Where should each of the props be put on the stage? Assign one 

person to create a sign that says “5 months later.” Place that sign with the 

other props to be used in the skit. 

• 

Ask volunteers to play the parts of Junie the Cruise Director and Captain Noah 

(readers). Give each person a script. Read through the script, and ask if you 

have any questions. Choose what you want for a costume. Junie needs a 

clipboard and megaphone, while Noah needs a hat.

you like to take a long trip on a boat full of animals? Allow kids to answer.

Scene One 

Days of Noah’s Life—Serial 

Drama Script 

(Noah, Noah’s wife, and Noah’s kids are all standing around outside of the ark. The calendar page says February 10 th .) 

Narrator: It was a beautiful, sunny day. Noah and his family were standing around outside of the ark, celebrating 

Noah’s birthday. 

Noah’s wife and Noah’s kids: “. . . Happy Birthday, dear Noah, Happy Birthday to you!” 

Noah: (looking surprised) Oh, you guys! You got me again! 600 years, and I still never see this coming! 

God: Noah. 

Noah: (looking excited) You invited God, too! 

God: Noah, it’s time to gather your family and get into the ark. I’m sending a pair of every animal to join you. Don’t 

forget to bring enough food. 

Noah’s wife: (looking concerned) Animals? I don’t recall you saying anything about animals! Where will everyone 

sleep? 

(The animals arrive on stage and begin to enter the ark with lots of animal sounds and animal movements.) 

Noah: Sorry, dear, it must have slipped my mind. (Dramatic pause while Noah thinks.) I’m sure we’ll figure 

something out. 

Noah’s kids: (looking excited) Alright! This’ll be just like living in the zoo! (Loud animal noises come from inside the 

ark.) Better yet, like living at the circus! 

(Everyone enters the ark.) 

(Optional Commercial Break—Narrator: And now a word from our sponsors . . .) 

Scene Two 

(Everyone is on the ark, and the calendar page shows February 17 th .) 

Noah’s kids: Move over! Hey, quit pushing! You’re on my side of the ark! 

Noah’s wife: (looking upset) Noah! We’ve been on this ark for (points at the calendar) seven days now and still, not 

one drop of rain! 

(Many animal sounds come from inside of the ark.) 

Noah: (looking concerned) I’m sure God knows what he’s doing. It’s probably not time yet. 

(It begins to storm. Noah’s kids begin to cheer. The animals make animal sounds.) 




Noah: (looking excited) Here we go! Hang on, everyone! 

(Music plays to mark the passing of time. The calendar pages are turned to March 9 th .) 

Noah’s kids: Tag, you’re it! No fair, you can’t ride a giraffe! (loud animal sounds) I’m telling! 

Noah: (looking concerned) God, I know your timing is perfect, but this rain has got to stop soon! 

(Music plays to mark the passing of time. The calendar pages are turned to March 30 th . The rain stops.) 

Noah’s kids: Rain, rain, go away . . . hey! The rain stopped. (Kids and animals cheer.) 

Noah’s wife: (looking excited) It’s true! The rain has stopped! (pinching nose) Now, how long before we can get off 

this boat? 

Noah: Don’t worry, dear. I’m sure it will be soon! 

(Music marks the passing of time. The calendar pages turn to July 17 th , October 1 st and finally January 1 st . Noah and his 

wife look bored and yawn. The animals snore loudly.) 

(Optional Commercial Break—Narrator: And now a word from our sponsors . . .) 

Scene Three 

Narrator: The ark is resting on a mountain. Noah’s family is once again celebrating Noah’s birthday. (Calendar page 

is turned to February 10 th .) 

Noah’s wife and kids: (in slow and tired voices) “. . . Happy Birthday, dear Noah. Happy Birthday to you.” (Animals 

make slow tired noises.) 

Noah: (looking concerned) I never guessed I’d be celebrating my 601 st birthday on an ark! 

Noah’s wife and kids: Neither did we! 

God: Noah! 

Noah: (looking excited) You guys invited God again. . . ? 

God: Noah, it’s time to come out of the ark! 

(Everyone cheers! Everyone comes out of the ark celebrating, including the animals.) 

Noah: This is the best birthday ever! Your timing is perfect, God! 

God: And I’m not done yet! 

(The rainbow is displayed.) 

God: Look in the sky. 

Everyone: (with great excitement) WOW! COOL! IT’S BEAUTIFUL! 

God: I promise never to flood the entire earth again!

trusting that God’s timing is perfect.

Welcome to the Ark! Script

Junie: Welcome to the ark! This is the finest ship Cypress Cruise Lines has to offer. Our crew members will take 

your suitcases while you find a place to sit. 

(Crew members put the suitcases off to the side of the stage as the Noah’s family and the animals find a place to sit.) 

Junie: I’m your cruise director, Junie, and this is Captain Noah! 

Noah: Hi, everyone! Welcome to the ark! I’d like to take this time to welcome some of the special guests joining us 

today: Mr. [name an animal], Mrs. [name an animal], the [name an animal kids], and of course, my family. 

(Everyone waves and greets each other, the animals make animal noises as greetings.) 

Noah: I’d also like to give a quick shout-out to God for giving us the plans and materials to make the ark. Let’s hear 

it! (clapping) We’re ready to leave the port. Our weather forecast indicates smooth sailing at first, but then there 

seems to be some rain moving in. Junie . . . 

Junie: Thanks, Captain Noah. Here at Cypress Cruise Lines we’ve tried to anticipate your every need. Please listen 

as I read today’s menu. Our crew will be coming around to take your order and serve you shortly. Tonight we’ll be 

serving . . . 

(Junie reads the items from the menu, while the crew walks around handing out baskets of food. Junie then turns the 

posterboard over to the ACTIVITIES side.) 

Noah: I hope everyone has finished eating. It’s starting to rain—things could get rough! 

Junie: (using the megaphone) May I have your attention! Due to inclement weather, the following activities have 

just been cancelled . . . 

(Junie reads the activities listed on the board, and then all of the people and animals make disappointed noises.) 

Junie: Take heart—I’m sure this rain won’t last long. In the meantime, our crew has some towels and umbrellas to 

hand out to make your stay more comfortable. 

(Crew hands out towels and umbrellas. One crew member walks across the stage with the sign that says, “5 months 

later.”) 

Junie: Captain Noah, how much longer before we reach port? I know God is directing our course, but it stopped 

raining quite some time ago. Everyone’s getting a little restless, and um, there’s a strange smell coming from 

below. 

(much grumbling and animals noises) 

Noah: (into the megaphone) Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m pleased to inform you that we’ll be arriving in port shortly. 

(much cheering and animal noises) 

Junie: If you’d please line up, our crew will be happy to assist you with your baggage. 

(Everyone lines up on stage as the rainbow is revealed. Everyone oohs and ahs.) 




Noah: On behalf of Cypress Cruise Lines, I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay. Customer satisfaction is important 

to us. God has put this rainbow in the sky as a guarantee never to flood the entire earth again, which led to your 

extended stay. 

Junie: Thank you for joining us on the maiden voyage of the ark. We hope you sail with us again. Good-bye! 

(Everyone exits the ark.)
