Puppet Skit SampleThe Grass Isn't Greener
Characters: Dirk (a city boy), Hans (an Amish boy) & Skippy the dog Props: None Setting: The Yoder Farm—a home in the Amish community. Dirk, Hans and Skippy the dog are talking. Dirk: (acting tough) What did you say your name was again? Hans: Hans Yoder. And this is my dog Skippy. (Skippy barks) Dirk: (laughs, purposely mispronounces his name) Hands Yooooder, that’s a dumb name. Hans: (angry) It’s not Hands Yooooder! My name is Hans Yoder, and it’s not a dumb name. You take that back! Dirk: Why should I? Hans: Because I don’t like that! It’s not nice to make fun of someone’s name. Dirk: (continuing to harass Hans, getting "in his face.") Hands Yooooder, Hands Yooooder, he’s got slime on his shoulder! Hans: Stop it Dirk! Dirk: What if I don’t? What are you gonna do, cry? (Skippy begins to growl and bark at Dirk) Dirk: (backing off) Okay, okay, call off your hound! What’s his problem—can’t he take a joke? Hans: You better watch out Dirk. Skippy is very protective of this family. I wouldn’t mess with me if I were you. Dirk: Oh yeah, well he doesn’t look like much of a watch dog to me. (Skippy growls again) Hans: Well he is, and he’s real smart too. Dirk: Whatever. You just keep that mutt away from me. I don’t want to catch any of his fleas. Skippy: (Growls) Fleas! I’ll show you fleas! (lunges towards Dirk and barks). |
