Toy Story
This play was written for Cubs, this one and the Peter Pan one were done at a Christmas show one year, this time this came out of my head with a little help from another leader. (She came up with the idea; I came up with the words.)
This was written long before the animated movie came about and as you will see one has nothing to do with the other!
The Cast:-
Teddy
Clown
Robot
Doll
Soldier
Puppet
Anything printed like this is an action, not speech.
Six toys are sitting on a shelf waiting to be taken by Santa to places around the world.
| Soldier | (Stands up at attention), Wakey, Wakey, rise and shine. Come on you ‘orrible lot this is your last briefing before your mission. |
| Teddy | Do you mind, not so much noise. I’m still rather sleepy. |
| Clown | Wots this about briefings and missions, come on life’s a laugh, stop being serious. |
| Soldier | Less of your lip son, this is serious stuff. We have a job to do for our creator. |
| Clown | Come off it. Can’t we just have some fun tonight? |
| Doll | Please let Mr. Soldier speak. I want to know what he has to say, he’s got quite a cute voice. |
| Soldier | (Cough, cough!) Well err, we have been made by the creator to carry out a special task. |
| Teddy | (Yawn!) Okay, so what does he want us to do? |
| Puppet | And who is this guy? |
| Robot | You mean you do not know. That is very illogical. |
| Doll | I must say I’ve never heard of him either. |
| Clown | You know that jolly guy who was here earlier. That’s him. He’s the creator. |
| Puppet | That big fat guy dressed in red? |
| Robot | That was a rather unethical thing to say. |
| Teddy | (Speaking to the clown) Do you think he knows what those big words mean. |
| Clown | I have no idea, but they sound good. |
| Robot | The large proportioned man is the greatest person in the whole wide world. |
| Teddy | Yeah, he’s such a great guy. He has three names, he’s THE KING. |
| Doll | You mean Elvis Aaron Presley? Is he still alive? |
| Robot | No, don’t be silly. Elvis makes music not toys. |
| Puppet | Well come on, I’m dying to find out who it is. I’ll get all my strings in a tangle if you don’t tell me. |
| Teddy | Father Christmas |
| Soldier | Santa Claus |
| Robot | Saint Nicholas |
| Doll | OOoooohhhhhh! We are honoured toys. What must we do? |
| Soldier | That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. |
| Puppet | Well go on then. Get on with it. |
| Soldier | Our job is to make some special children happy. |
| Doll | How wonderful. |
| Clown | Happy! Oh great! Whooopppeee!!! |
| Puppet | Well who are these children then? |
| Soldier | Only Santa knows that. |
| (Silence comes over all the toys as they ponder where they could go.) | |
| Clown | I hope my child isn’t a rich kid. They are always spoilt and don’t really deserve a special toy like me. |
| Teddy | Yeah! I wanna go to a child that really could do with a friend. One that will give me big cuddles and will feel happy again afterwards. |
| Doll | Aren’t all children the same, just living in different places? |
| Clown | It would be nice if it was. But it’s different every where. |
| Robot | Some children are happy and some are sad. |
| Teddy | Some have friends, others have none. |
| Soldier | Some children are good and some are bad. |
| Puppet | And some haven’t even got a dad or mum. |
| Doll | Ooooooh! Those poor, poor children. Can’t we find them what they are missing? |
| Clown | It’s not that easy. We just help by giving them a bit of love. From the love they give us. |
| Robot | There are many children in the world that are missing things in their lives or are in bad situations. |
| Puppet | Some children don’t have homes. Others are in countries that are in such a mess that they will be lucky to get any food this Christmas. |
| Doll | Oooooh! That sounds awful, those poor, poor children. |
| Soldier | Now you see why our job is important. |
| Teddy | Let us and all the children that have things think of those that are less off than we are. |
| Clown | We may all be happy this Christmas but there will be many that won’t be. |
| Robot | Shhhh! I think there is someone coming. Quick places and all be still. |
| The toys take their places and sit perfectly still as Santa wealks into the warehouse from another room. |
