Skit Ideas for School

Lost in Translation: A tourist asks for directions, but every passerby interprets the request in the most outlandish way, leading the tourist on a wild and zany adventure.
Opposite Day at School/Work: Kids act like teachers, and teachers act like kids. Alternatively, at an office setting, the boss becomes the intern and vice versa.

The Worst Magician: A magician who keeps messing up tricks but then accidentally discovers he has real magical powers in unexpected ways, like making himself disappear when trying to do a card trick.
