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.

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.

NOTE This script can be adapted so that the students are socially distanced. This might be that they are stood further apart or even videoed individually and then the footage edited together.

The Inspection Before Christmas - A pantomime for staff to perform to students

(1)
Jack and Jill are back to save the school once more in an original pantomime. It’s Christmas Eve and there is to be a last minute inspection. The evil You’va Nochance is determined that the school will fail and will stop at nothing to ruin the day. Join our intrepid duo assisted my Dame Dolly Dollop, Miss Take and Miss Place as the inspector visits a school where the display boards haven’t been changed in five years! This is a pantomime written with the idea in mind that the staff perform it for the students. This could be at an end of year show or at Christmas when pantomimes are traditionally performed. There are a few simple props which are easily created and two simple sound effects (a door bell and a phone ring). No back drops or scenery are required for this panto and, apart from the Dame’s costume, dressing the characters should be easy! The Dame is traditionally played by a man and requires an over the top dress, make up and a larger than life character. I hope you enjoy the script!
