Elena the play-write

I wanted to post Elena's first play that she wrote. I typed it up for her and we used it in Reader's Theater class today. It was a hit! The only thing that I changed is a few misspelled words, everything else is original. I thought it was so funny how entertained the kids were by this extremely random play. Alexia and her friend came home from school today and started writing their own plays. I am so glad that it turned out to be inspiring. I told the kids in the class that if they wrote a script, I would type it up for them and we could read it as a class. I think it would be awesome if some of the kids take me up on it. Enjoy the 9 year old innocence and humor.

ALL FAMILY: You're welcome.

(Meanwhile)

PRINCE: I wonder where the maids are. I guess I am lost. I wonder where I am. Do I hear music? Maybe I should follow the music. I think I should. I will just follow it.

(The prince walked and walked until he found where the music was. He found a small cottage. He opened the door and he found 7 dwarfs.)

PRINCE: Hi.

DWARFS: Hi.

PRINCE: I should be going now. Bye.

DWARFS: Bye bye.

(Later, on the other side of the forest)

KATEY: Where am I? I was playing hide and seek, and I came here, and now I don't know where I am.

PRINCE: (Who just came in the scene) Neither do I . Who are you?

KATEY: I am Katey, and who are you?

PRINCE: I ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Henrey.

KATEY: Okay Henry, where is Payson?

PRINCE. I don't know. Where is Salem?

KATEY: Do you think we could be in between?

PRINCE: I don't know. We could be.

KATEY: If we are in between, we could go to Salem or Payson. We just have to pick a way to go, and we are in one of them.

PRINCE: Yeah. You are right.

(Later the maid's woke to see that the prince is gone, at the same time, Katey's family was looking for her and couldn't find her.)

SISTER: We'll never find her.

MOM: Don't say that. We'll find her. I hope.

( Meanwhile the maids were looking for the prince when they met Katey's family. They said, “Have you seen the prince?” The family said, “No, but have you seen a girl?” The maids said, “We can help you find her if you help us find the prince.” The family said, “Yes, let's go.”)

KATEY: I think I hear music. Let's go see what it is.

PRINCE: I already know what it is. It is 7 dwarfs playing music.

KATEY: Cool!!!! Let's go!!!

PRINCE: okay. Let's go.

( They ran and ran till they got to the cottage.)

KATEY: Hi! I love the song you're playing!!!!!!! Can I sing? I know the words!!!

DWARF #1: Yes you can. We haven't had a singer in a long time, so sing!

(and so she sang a pretty song, her family heard her and ran as fast as they could, they got to the cottage and opened the door.)

MOM: Katey! We have been looking for you for a long time and we found you!

KATEY: MOM!!!

SISTER and BABIES: Katey!!!!

KATEY: Sister! Babies! Where are the twins?

MOM: They went home crying.

KATEY: Oh.

MAIDS: Prince Henry, you are in big trouble.

PRINCE: You can't punish me. I'm a prince.

MAID 1: Your dad the King can!

KATEY: You're a prince? This is the weirdest birthday ever.

PRINCE: It's your birthday? How old are you turning?

KATEY: eleven.

PRINCE: Wow! But, I am twelve, so ha ha.

MOM: Come on. Let's go home.

KATEY: Okay.

THE END.
