I’m thrilled to share with you—a free puppet script based on the beloved Bible story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den! This script, requiring 1-2 people, is perfect for church groups, children’s stories, or anyone looking to bring a little faith-filled fun to their storytelling. It features a narrator (a person) and a lively lion puppet named Leo, who adds a playful twist to this classic tale of courage and trust in God.
Why This Script?
The story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den is a powerful reminder of God’s protection and faithfulness. This puppet script is designed to engage kids (and adults!) with humor, heart, and a clear message about standing firm in faith. Leo the Lion brings a lighthearted perspective, making the story accessible and entertaining while staying true to its biblical roots.
What’s Included in the Script?
- Characters: A narrator (played by a person) and Leo, a lovable lion puppet with a big personality. It can be performed as a ventriloquist style performance, or by 2 people.
- Tone: Fun, engaging, and easy to perform, with opportunities for puppeteers to add their own flair.
- Length: Approximately 8-10 minutes, perfect for a short performance or part of a larger program.

- Props: Minimal! You’ll just need a lion puppet for Leo and a space to perform. Optional props like a “den” can add flair but aren’t necessary.
