I'm going to be doing a skit class with some middel school students. Can anyone recommend a good skit or two? Does anybody know of any good easy to understand skits on youtube?
any help would be appreciated.

How much time do you have before the show? 1 week? 2?

I've had to do several skits during winter camps. If I have 2 weeks,
I have the students get into groups of 4/5, had'em write their own
scripts in Korean together, then I would help translate that into
proper English. 1 week to write and translate, 2nd week to study, practice, make props.

When I only had 1 week, I had a simple 4/5 step plot in mind(intros, rising action, conflict, climax and conclusion) and
layed it out for the students to see and understand and AGAIN I had
them make up their own lines.

Both worked out great for middle schoolers and all got an equal amount of "air time". (I made sure of that!)

For a story or plot? Pull something silly, funny, ridiculous, something they can connect with and run with it, outta yer butt and make a script of it. 2 a.m. vs wondergirls, Battle of the kimbaps, Haunted hwa-jang-shil, Sudden Attack 2, whatever. Don't take it too serious, let'em have fun with it and you will too.

I even made a lesson outta it before and during using movies as the theme of my lessons and talked about different genres, actors, props, scripts, plots, filming, storyboards, etc. It was a good camp and I recorded all my students' movies filmed around the school. We watched them on our final day/movie/pizza party. Students had a blast!
