Double Dare

by Richard & Lynn Beaumont

(Cast up to 30 M/F. Ages: 13+)

Three groups of kids have been on a weeks team building course. Their final task is to spend the night in a deserted Theatre. (No set!) Whichever team completes this task will win. During the night some decide to do a ouija board to try and contact the Theatre ghost. BUT is there a real ghost or is it a tactical move to frighten off the other teams? Only time will tell!

(This script can be developed within a class/rehearsal. You can also add to the tension by adding in un-scripted bangs and crashes during the performance).

NB: THIS IS A TEN MINUTE PIECE TAKEN FROM THE FULL LENGTH PLAY. SEE 'STRAIGHT PLAYS FOR CHILDREN'.

National Elf Service

(Cast up to 30 M/F. Ages: 6-8)

Every year at this time the Elves are called upon to do their 'National Elf Service' this is done on a rotational basis and this year it's the turn of ALL elves with names beginning with 'T'. They gather together to help Santa make his toys.

You're giving the kids back their imagination!

(there is a great opportunity for an improvised section within this script)
