EASY SCRIPTS FOR KIDS!
Hansel and Gretel and the Creepy Woods <--Click for script
in English, French, Norwegian, Turkish and Bi-Lingual-Any Language!
by Jeannette Jaquish
CAST: 11 to 30: Hansel & Gretel, Dad, Stepmom, Witch, Optional Forest Creatures, Dwarves, Dog & Frog and The Reader(s) who should be mature enough to ad lib when needed.
Every actor has good lines.
LENGTH: About 15 to 30 minutes.
FREE
This play is made easier for the young actors because the Reader telling the story prompts the actors where to go, what to do, and when to say their lines.
If a child forgets their line, the Reader should have the sense to continue on as if it is in the script, for example:
READER (ad libbing): The 1st Little Dwarf looked deep into the cubboard and said, 'There's spider legs..." (until the actor picks up the line and continues.)
This is my most popular script because it is simple and gives everyone good lines but not too many. I performed this with a class of private schooled kindergarteners, age 5 and 6, and it went very well.
There is a Christmas version of this at the Christmas link on the FunAntics home page.
The Way I Remember It. <--Click for script
by Jeannette Jaquish
The grandchild gets Grandpa and Grandma to tell how they met, resulting in two hilariously different versions of their childhood story about misbehavior, teasing, dog tricks, and first love.
Grandma and Grandpa as adults can help prompt child actors who forget their lines, as they narrate their story (with a script hidden in their newspaper and magazine).
Children's lines are simple, fun and follow a pattern.
CAST: 11 children age 6 and up, 2 adults (Grandpa and Grandma), 2 or 3 teen or adult helpers (one to play "Mom" who carries in a cake).
LENGTH: About 20 minutes.
