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!

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!

This is a free sample of the full script. Paul Pan is Peter Pans brother. Whilst Peter is away the Evil Captain Spoon captures Wendy! Can Paul, along with his friend Dame Nanna, rescue Wendy and defeat Captain Spoon and his henchmen Smee and Hee?

The script is for 6 persons. No backdrops, scenery or sound effects are required. Props are kept to a minimal (a sword and a fake rolling pin!) 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!

A bundle of the scripts for 10 minute staff pantomimes to perform to students.

(3)
This bundle contains samples of short pantomime scripts that staff can rehearse and perform to students. I was asked by the governors of the school to produce a script for a pantomime that they and staff could perform to the students. They felt that the this was something that the children would enjoy (they loved it!) and it would be something different for them. Rehearsal time was minimal for us due to work load. Scripts were given out a couple of weeks in advance but we only came together on the morning of the performance to read through the lines. We went on stage with the scripts in hand but the children didn’t mind as they just loved that the staff were being silly and entertaining them! I hope you enjoy the scripts and I hope to write more soon!

This is a bundle containing samples of the scripts that I’ve written for students as part of either a Christmas concert or a Year 6 leavers show. The scripts have all been performed by my students and last a maximum of 10 minutes. Props are kept to a minimum and those which are required I normally make myself using images glued on to card. For ease, sound effects I also try to keep to a minimum. Back drops and scenery are not required. I hope you like the scripts that I produce and I will keep writing them as long as I get inspiration and as long as I have a drama group to write for!

Real French - A 10 minute play

(0)
Real French is a play that is was written for eleven students but you can easily double parts up if you had less students. Madam Pantalon is teaching the children their very first French lesson but it turns out she can’t actually speak French! Cue comedy and the butchering of the French language as she continues the lesson despite her lack of knowledge, much to the bemusement of the class. No back drops or scenery is required. Only one prop book and one ringing bell sound effect required.
