A collection of assembly and Christmas scripts that I've written over the years! I'm very much an advocate of trying before you buy so all scripts are available as samples for free. Also, check out the children's book that I've written about a chicken who dreams of playing football!

Cast: Mary Joseph Quiz Master Wise Man 1 Wise Man 2 Wise Man 3 Colin The Shepherd Props: Baby doll Jar of Nescafe Gold Frankenstein mask Bottle of after shave with “Grrr” written upon it Mobile phone Sound effect: Sheep bleating Rustling and struggling noises Phone being broken I’ve written this short Christmas script with the thought that each character could be pre recorded and then a video could be edited together so that the final product is socially distanced and complies with Covid-19 regulations. The premise is that the cast are taking part in a Zoom quiz. Joseph can’t get the camera working, the Wisemen weren’t able to get the right gifts and Colin the shepherd is attacked by his flock!

Zooming in to Lockdown - a free short sketch for year 6 leavers

(0)
I’ve written this for the year 6 leavers this year. Due to social distancing I’ve decided that the best way perform this would be to film each student individually and then use some software to edit them in to a performance. The script is written for twelve students but it could easily be reduced by doubling up parts. There is some parts with few lines and, if required, there is the option to have one as a non speaking role. The idea behind the script is that the students are all taking part in different Zoom calls and the issues that they face.

To Frozen - A pantomime for staff to perform to students

(0)
CAST: Anna Elsa Sven Olaf Props: There are no props required Sets and back drops: There are no sets or back drops required Sound effects: There are no sound effects required Plot: Queen Elsa has a dark secret she’s been hiding for years… she doesn’t like Christmas! How can she break this to Princess Anna, who adores Christmas, without upsetting her? Meanwhile, Sven and Olaf have a joke telling contest to find out who’s the funniest in the kingdom. This is a short four-person script intended for the staff to perform to the students and allow the children to see the adults in a different light. I’ve found in the past that there is no need to have huge amounts of rehearsals. We’ve gone on after just having an hours read through and then we read from a script whilst on stage. The very fact that you are putting yourselves out there and performing to the children means that they will over look any “rough around the edges” parts! I’ve left it open in regards to the jokes that you want to tell as you know what would make your students laugh! With the joke telling contest, the children will decide who the winner is by cheering for their preferred choice. Anna will then decide who got the loudest cheer. The script will then need to be adapted for the winner to accept the win and then acknowledge the other competitor.

Twelve Days of Christmas - sample 10 min drama script

Twelve Days of Christmas - sample 10 min drama script

(1)
SAMPLE Cast: Twelve female roles although this could be performed by a smaller group with parts being doubled up. Scenes: All the action takes place on what is essentially a school stage. No back drops or scenery is required. Props: No props are required Sound effects: A gentle flatulence noise (short and discreet) A door bell followed by a cow mooing and sloppy cow pat splat. This Christmas I’ve had an all female group of twelve students to write a script for. I wanted to make sure that they all got equal stage time but also I wanted to keep the piece to a short and reasonable length. I feel that it could be performed as a series of monologues by as few as two or as many as twelve performers. The idea is that the girls are all playing the same person, Mary Christmas, who has received extravagant, inappropriate and truly bizarre gifts from her true love this Christmas and she is, in one way or another, not impressed by what she has received.
