These are skits that I wrote for the class Kathleen and I (Mignon) are teaching together at our homeschooling COOP. Please keep in mind that I wrote them late at night and for 4-7 year-olds.
Skit #1
Person
1 - Wow! How do you do that?
That’s amazing! Can you
show me?
Person
2 - Sure! You just do this, and then this, and then this,
and there it is!
Person
1 - I
can’t do it!
Person
2 - Here,
let me help you!
Person
1 - No,
I can do it myself. I just can’t.
Person
2 - Here,
really, let me help you.
Person
1 - OK. Thank you! Wow! I can do it!
Here, can you help me again?
Person
2 - Sure.
Person
1 - Oooowww! That hurt! I
don’t want to do this anymore!
Person
2 - OK.
Person
1 - I
guess you can show me later.
Person
2 - OK.
Person
1 - See
you later! Ow!
Person
2 - OK. I hope it heals soon!
Person
1 - Ow! I’m sure it will! Bye!
Person
2 - Goodbye!
Lucy
- Hey,
Sylvia! Hi, Janet!
Janet
- Hi,
Lucy!
Sylvia
- Lucy! Long time no see!
How are you? What have you been
up to lately?
Janet
- Yes! Sylvie and I were just coming to hang
out! We had no idea we’d run into you,
Lucy! How’s school going?
Lucy
- I wish you wouldn’t press in that I’m still going. Just because you two got out, doesn’t mean
you’re any better! Hmph!
Janet
- Come now, Lucy, I didn’t want to upset you! I
was just wondering if it was going any better! Are
your parents showing any sign of giving up and taking you out?
Lucy
- No.
Sylvia
- Listen, we’re putting together a secret club, and we’d like it if you would
join. It’s called the Spy’s Club,
and we put it together for all our friends who want to learn how to learn things secretly!
Janet
- Yeah,
we’d like for you to be part of it, if you’d like. We could help you learn if your parents are
thinking about letting you come out of school!
Lucy
- Sounds
pretty cool. Do you have special meeting
times?
Janet
– Only
when we know another club is going to meet, or we know someone will have a great talk with
someone else. We only have meetings when we
know we’ll have a chance to spy!
Skit #3
Fred
- Katie,
celery does not go in soup!
Katie
- Of
course it does. It might not always, but
it’s going in this one.
Fred
- Now,
really, Katie, be reasonable. You know I
don’t like celery in soup, and I won’t allow any soup made in my house to have
something I don’t like in it!
Katie
- Well,
then. If you’re so picky about where
it’s made, I’ll go borrow my friend’s kitchen and make it in there,
or I’ll use the stove in the shed, but this celery is going into this soup. I’ve already chopped it up, and it’s
going into the soup I chopped it for.
Fred
- Well, then. I’ll eat the celery if you
want to use it.
Katie
- Oh, Fred! You’re picky about
everything! You won’t even let me make
the soup my own way!
Fred
- Really,
I won’t have celery in my soup!
Katie
- Well, I really won’t make any without it!
Fred
- So, make something else!
Katie
- I will!
Fred
- What
will you make?
Katie
– Mac & cheese. With celery in it!
Fred
- Now
really! You can’t put celery in Mac
& cheese! That’s gross!
Katie
- Oh,
I can’t, can I? I will!
Fred
- No! You won’t! I won’t let you!
Katie
- Oh, yes I will!
Fred
- No! You won’t!
Katie
- You better believe I will!
Fred
- OK. That’s fine. You do that.
Katie
- OK. I won’t. But I’ll put it in
the soup! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Skit #4
Nellie
- Why is it that I can’t fix it? Nate! Why can’t I fix this thing?
Nate
- How should I know?
Nellie
- Because you broke it!
Nate
- What?
Nellie
- Because you broke it! Now come help me!
Nate
- What?
Nellie
- Come help me!
Nate
- Ok.
Nellie
- No! Not like that! Tell me, What piece broke off of
this? Where did it go?
Nate
- What?
Nellie
– What
part of this broke off? Where did it fall?
Nate
- That part. Over there.
Nellie
- Oh, Nate! How could you break it so badly? This is awful! Mom’s going to kill me! Oh, dear. I
wish I had broken it so that I would at least have done the thing I’m gonna
get yelled at for doing. Nate? Could you help me?
Nate
– What?
Nellie
– would
you come help me?
Nate
– OK.
Nellie
– I just need someone to hold this piece while I fix this.
Nate
– What?
Nellie
– Just
hold this for me, please.
Nate
– Sure.
Nellie
– Thanks.
Nate
– Sure.
