Example (the words in red are changed):

A Christmas Carol

The story began on Christmas Eve. Ebenezer Scrooge, a mean, unkind old man, was working in his office with Bob Cratchit, his clerk. His nephew Fred visited him and invited Ebenezer to celebrate Christmas day at his house. Scrooge refused. He hates Christmas because he thinks it’s too expensive. Next a charity worker collecting money for the poor arrives, but Scrooge gives her nothing. When it is time to finish work, Scrooge is angry that he has to give Bob Cratchit a day off work on Christmas day.

  After work Scrooge goes home to spend Christmas alone and unhappy. That night the   ghost of his dead business partner, Jacob Marley, visits him. He tells Scrooge that he must change his way of life or face the consequences. He tells him that three ghosts will visit him. Scrooge is scared but he goes to sleep. He wakes up to see The Ghost of Christmas Past, who takes him to re-visit his own past. They go to his old school and see Scrooge as a lonely and unhappy child. They also visit him as a happy, young man working in his first job, with a kind boss called Mr. Fezziwig. Finally they see Scrooge’s girlfriend leave him because of his love of money.

Later that night, Scrooge meets The Ghost of Christmas Present. He takes Scrooge to see the Crachit family’s Christmas. They are happy even though they are poor. The only thing that makes them sad is that the youngest son, Tiny Tim, is ill. Tiny Tim is likely to die without a doctor, something the Cratchit family cannot afford to pay for. Scrooge also visits the house of his nephew. The people are all having fun and are happy.

Finally, The Ghost of Christmas Future arrives. He doesn’t speak but shows Scrooge people talking about a man who has died. They speak about the man without affection and are not sad that he is dead. When Scrooge sees the grave of the man, he realizes it has his name on it. It is his death the people are talking about! He is very sad.

When he wakes up the next morning, Scrooge realizes it is still Christmas morning and he is very happy. He wants to help everyone now and become a better person. He buys a big Turkey for the Cratchit family and pays for the doctor for Tiny Tim. Next, he goes to his nephew’s house and joins in the celebrations. He is sorry for all the bad things he has done and promises to start a new life.

Polly wants a Cracker II Grade PLAYSCRIPT

POLLY WANTS A CRACKER by D. M. Larson

Characters: 

ANIMAL: A girl in an animal costume who likes the bird

BIRD: A guy in a bird costume who likes the animal back

SCENE 1

Two people are in a mall selling products.  The man named Carl is in a fat bird costume selling some kind of candy.  The woman named Polly is in an animal costume selling animal crackers. The bird man keeps checking out the animal woman but not so bad that she doesn't seem to notice... but eventually she does.  She goes up to him.

Animal: I have to say... that costume is really cute. 

BIRD: What? Uh... really? 

ANIMAL: I love chunky birds... I just want to squeeze them. 

(She gets embarrassed and goes back to her animal cracker sale table.  He mumbles under his breath.)

BIRD: You can squeeze me if you want. 

(She hears.)

ANIMAL: What?

(He is startled and turns away.)

BIRD: Nothing.

(She looks kind of sad and turns away.  He decides to talk to her some more.)

BIRD: So what are you selling? 

(She is happy he is talking to her again.)

ANIMAL: Animal crackers. 

Bird: Oh, I love animal crackers. 

ANIMAL: Want to buy some? 

(He tries to get to his wallet but can't because of the bird costume.)

BIRD: Yeah... oh crap, I don't think I can reach my wallet.

ANIMAL: I can help. 

BIRD: If you reach in the opening in the back...

(She reach in back and someone walks by and stops... stares.  She gets mad at the person who is staring at them.)

ANIMAL: What?!

(Person runs off).

BIRD: Got my wallet? 

ANIMAL: Yup... so you're not fat? 

(He laughs.)

BIRD: No... disappointed? 

ANIMAL: No... I like fat birds, not fat guys.

BIRD: Good... because I'm not fat... not that you want to like me... I'm not saying that you have to like me... I mean...

(She closes his bird mouth over his face.)

ANIMAL: shh.. You're cute.

(She lets go.  He is confused.)

BIRD: Huh?

ANIMAL: Nothing. So you want one box or two... of animal crackers?

2nd Grade Script: PART TWO

Instruccions: Copy and paste the script in a word document. Then, print it and bring it to class.☺️

SCIENTIST

What happened to your planet?

PRINCESS

Our air has turned to poison.  We can no longer breath outside and must hide indoors.  The energy that once gave us light and power now destroys us.

SCIENTIST

Ever try wind or solar power?

PRINCESS

Whatever do you mean?  How can we use the wind and sun?

SCIENTIST

Wow, this will be easy.

PRINCESS

You will be a hero.  You will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams.

SCIENTIST

Seeing those soldier scattered was a pretty good reward.

PRINCESS

I can vaporize them too if you wish.

(She reaches for her necklace)

SCIENTIST

That's very nice of you, but it's not necessary.  I don't want to stoop to their level.

PRINCESS

You are wise.  I have chosen well.  Come with me and save my planet.

(Princess takes Scientist's arm affectionately and Scientist smiles shyly.  Nerdy woman, Lila, rushes on stage)

LILA

Wait, Peter.  Please don't go!

(Princess turns and stands between Scientist and Lila)

PRINCESS

What is the meaning of this?

LILA

That man there is my Peter... He's my boyfriend.

PRINCESS

He is mine now.  He has given himself to me.

(Lila looks very hurt)

LILA

Peter, is that true?

SCIENTIST

She needs my help.  Her planet is in trouble.

LILA

How long will you be gone?

PRINCESS

You may return in a decade or two.

LILA

What?!  10 years!

PRINCESS

Or twenty.  But I doubt he'll want to return.  We'll reward him handsomely and give him anything he wants.

(Princess goes behind Scientist and touches him lovingly.  Scientist looks pleased)

LILA

How could you do this to me, Peter?

SCIENTIST

Do what?

LILA

Leave me?

SCIENTIST

I'll be back.  Don't worry.

(But he's looking at the Princess all dreamy.  Lila grabs him and pulls him away)

LILA

Stay away from him.  You have him under some kind of spell don't you?

(Lila puts herself between Scientist and Princess)

PRINCESS

How dare you!  You will face my wrath!

(Before the Princess can touch her necklace, Lila jumps forward and grabs the necklace and yanks it off her neck)

PRINCESS (CONT.)

What have you done?!  You fool?

(Scientist shakes his head and is startled when he sees Princess)

SCIENTIST

She looks mad.

PRINCESS

Give those back to me!

LILA

I don't think so.

PRINCESS

You are putting yourselves in terrible danger.  Those jewels channel my power.  Without them, I will lose control.

LILA

I think you lost control long ago.  How dare you try and take my Peter away.

PRINCESS

Please, give them back to me.  If the power in those are released in your world, it will change you all...

LILA

I don't care.  I won't let you take Peter from me.  I'll risk everything to save him.

PRINCESS

You would risk your entire planet for one man.

LILA

Not any man... this man.  He's my world.  I don't need anything else but him.

SCIENTIST

Lila... that's the sweetest thing you ever said to me.

LILA

Quiet.  You're in trouble too mister.

PRINCESS

Please... help me, Peter.  You're my only hope.

LILA

What a drama queen.  Let's go, Peter.

(Peter seems torn)

LILA (CONT.)

I know I'm not perfect, but I do really love you.  She's just going to use you.  Chew you up, take what you have to offer and then spit you out.  You are just a tool to her.  A means to an end and then she'll cast you aside.  You know I'm not like that.  You know I love you for you and not what I can get out of you.  So... what do you chose?  A crazy, wild fling that will end in ruin or simple, true, honest love?

(Lila gives Scientist the jewels and Princess looks hopeful)

SCIENTIST

I chose you, Lila.

(Scientist throws down jewels and stomps on them.  Lila is happy and helps)

PRINCESS

No!  What have you done?!

(Lila and Scientist leave and Princess goes to the jewels)

PRINCESS (CONT.)

You have released their power on your world.  It will change everything as you know it.  It will give some of you powers and make others of you go mad.  Some of you will chose greatness and seek good with your new found power, but others of you will react with fear and anger and go down a path of evil.

(Soldier enters cautiously)

SOLDIER

Princess... you are under arrest.  Please come with me.

PRINCESS

But perhaps there is hope.  Perhaps there is a Phoenix that will rise from these ashes.
I will find a champion among you whose new found powers can be harnessed.

SOLDIER

Yeah, yeah.  Save it for someone who cares.  Let's go, Princess.

PRINCESS

I will have my champion destroy you first.

SOLDIER

General!  She's being mean to me!

(Exit and lights fade to black)

(A nerdy looking Scientist with a bunch of equipment enters. A soldier is along side him protecting him as he sets up his equipment)

PRINCESS

Noow wop not!

(Princess goes toward Scientist)

SOLDIER

You sure that thing is going to work?

SCIENTIST

There's one way to find out.

(Scientist turns on machine)

PRINCESS

Your puny weapons have no effect on me.

SOLDIER

It worked!

SCIENTIST

Can you understand me?

PRINCESS

I understand your words but not your actions.  Why did you attack me?  Why did you insist on destroying what you don't understand?

(Scientist turns to solider)

SCIENTIST

Why were you shooting at her?

SOLDIER

The general told us to.

SCIENTIST

"Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die."

SOLDIER

Huh?

SCIENTIST

Exactly.

(To Scientist)

PRINCESS

You seem different. Are you the wise warrior I seek?

SOLDIER

Warrior?

(He laughs and others can be heard laughing off stage.  Scientist gives them a dirty look)

PRINCESS

Silence!

(She touches her necklace with one hand and makes a motion with the other at soldier and he gets pushed back and falls)

GENERAL

Fire!

SCIENTIST

No! Wait! I'm right here you idiots!

(Princess touches her necklace with one hand and waves her other hand)

PRINCESS

Their weapons are useless now.

GENERAL

Retreat!

(Sound of soldiers, tanks, etc. are heard and then fade away)

SCIENTIST

You appear to be pretty powerful.  Why would you need our help?

PRINCESS

We may have power but we seek wisdom.  My quest has brought me here.  Are you the one?

SCIENTIST

I did graduate at the top of my class at Tech.

PRINCESS

Your Earth accolades are meaningless to me.  What is this about your neck?

SCIENTIST

It's just a space rock I found.  I follow shooting stars and collect meteorites.

PRINCESS

Oh follower of shooting stars. May I see your stone.

SCIENTIST

Uh... sure.

(He hands it to her)

PRINCESS

This is our message.  You found it.  You must be the chosen one. You have the knowledge we need to heal our planet.

SCIENTIST

Hey guys!  I'm the chosen one!

(Soldier laugh off stage)

SCIENTIST (CONT.)

I really hate those guys.

PRINCESS

Do you want me to destroy them?

SCIENTIST

Naw... not now.  Maybe later.

PRINCESS

Why do they mock you?

SCIENTIST

I am a nerd... a loser.

PRINCESS

But you are an inventor.  A creator of new things.  They only destroy.

SCIENTIST

That's kind of how it goes here.  We invent and they find a way to use it to destroy.

PRINCESS

We will not treat you so on my planet.  Will you join me?  Please come back to my planet and help us?
