11 Simple & Funny Campfire Skits

11 Simple & Funny Campfire Skits

11 super easy campfire skits that are easy to set up with very few props if any and the skits are short and sweet so it is easy for the kids to prepare for the skit.  These are some of the best skits that I have come across that will definitely bring some laughter (mostly because they are a little gross 🙂 )

11 Campfire Skits

1. The Greatest Spitter In The World

Actors Needed:
2 Performers (The Greatest Spitter In the World & the circus announcer who will be “catching” the spit in the can)

Supplies Needed:
Metal Pot (With Some Water In It)
Small Rock

Skit:
 The scene is set at a circus with the Worlds Greatest Spitter ready to perform. The circus announcer will be catching the spit in the pot he is holding. The 2 performers will stand about 15 feet apart.

Announcer: Welcome ladies and gentleman! You are about to see the Greatest Spitter In The World perform the most amazing tricks with just his spit. First he will be showing us a normal spit that we all can do.

Spitter: Spitter pretends to spit and the announcer catches it in his metal bucket. The small rock/pebble is hidden in his hand and will hit the bottom of the metal pot as the spit lands in the bucket.

Announcer: That was fantastic, now watch how fast he can spit!

Spitter: The spitter “spits” and immediately the announcer catches it by hitting the rock on the bottom of the can.

Continue on using a slow spit, curved spit, an over the head spit, an around the world spit, the catcher will spin around and then “catch” it in his can, and so on.

Announcer: Finally, what you all have been waiting for, the most impossible spit of all…please we will need silence for this one…The Greatest Spitter In the World is going to perform the hardest spit of all, it is a back 3 and half somersault with 2 and a half twists and a curvy swervy barrell roll . The announcer then spins and curves back and forth and then seems to lose his balance and “spills” the bucket with water on it into the crowd.

pause; looks to the distance) An oasis! I’m saved! (Scrambles over to the oasis where a maitre d’ is standing.) Sir! Please! I would like to buy a glass of water!

Supplies Needed:
Nothing

Skit:

A performer walks out from backstage, stumbles, and falls on his face. He struggles noisily to get up, but keeps his forehead stuck on the floor.

He sometimes succeeds in getting into a position with his feet and his
forehead on the floor, and his butt in the air. He rotates in this position, keeping his forehead in one place.
 
He calls for help for help, repeating “My forehead is stuck!” As he struggles, other kids walk casually past. They ignore him, or look with curiosity, but they do not help.

Finally, a kid comes running up and heaves the victim to his feet. The victim is effusively grateful, but the rescuer just looks at his face. He reaches out, plucks something from the victim’s forehead, and pops it into his mouth.

“Thanks,” he says, “I knew I’d lost my gum somewhere around here!”

Actors Needed:
2 Performers – 2 campers, 2 “bears”

2 scouts are camping out, but only have a one-man tent.
 
They argue about who should sleep inside and finally one winds up laying down ‘inside’ and the other ‘outside’. They fall asleep.

A group (2 or 3 scouts) of bears, trolls, etc. wander by and see the sleeping scout. They rush up and beat on the scout for a couple seconds and then run off stage.
 
The scout gets up, hobbles to the buddy, explains he was just attacked, and pleads to change places. The other scout won’t switch and tells the first to go back to sleep.
 
Once settled down, the bears come back and beat on the scout again. Again, he pleads with buddy to trade. This time, the buddy agrees to switch places.
 
After they settle down, the bears come back again. Just as they are going to start beating on the scout outside, one stops and says ‘Hey, we’ve beat this one up enough – let’s get the one in the tent!’

Actors Needed:
4+ – Leader, Banana Performer, Other Kids with Bandanas

Bandanas

Leader: You know Scouts, a bandana is a very good thing to have. Everyone get out your bandana, and I’ll show you how useful it can be.
 
The scouts all pull out their neckerchiefs. The Scouter holds the banana.
 
Leader: One of the best uses for a bandana is to wipe the sweat off of your face when you are hot. Give it a try.
Everyone wipes their faces with their neckerchiefs. The Scouter rubs the banana on his face. For the following lines, everyone does what they are told, even the Scouter they just do it with the banana.
Leader: When you are finished, you can just fold your bandana in half and stick it in your pocket.
Leader: If it is sunny, you can put your bandana on your head to protect yourself from the rays of the sun.
Leader: You can use it to dry your hands.
Leader: If you need to blow your nose it comes in handy.
Leader: If you need to sit on the ground, you can put it beneath you and sit on it.
Leader: And when you are finished, you just stick it back in your pocket.
By this point the banana and the Scouter will be a mess.
Scouter (holding up the banana): How am I supposed to do that?
Leader: What are you doing?
Scouter: I did everything you told me, but there is no way I am sticking this banana back in my pocket
Leader: I said bandana, not banana!
Scouter: Ohhhhhh!
