The Head Elf walks around the stage, checking the tables and tools.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> According to the work schedule, the Builder Elves are the first to start their shift.<\/p>\n The Builder Elves enter. They nod politely to the Head Elf and sit at their work table.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> Their job is to build the toys that Santa will deliver to children all around the world.<\/p>\n The Builder Elves pretend to use tools like hammers, pliers, and screwdrivers. The tools are only mimed so the scene stays quiet.<\/em><\/p>\n Builder Elf 1:<\/strong> I love making toy trains. I\u2019ve got a beautiful collection of them at home!<\/p>\n Builder Elf 2:<\/strong> I prefer animals. Look at this horse \u2014 isn\u2019t it wonderful?<\/p>\n Head Elf:<\/strong> Yes! It almost looks real!<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> Next, it\u2019s time for the Painter Elves to begin their shift.<\/p>\n The Painter Elves enter. They nod to the Head Elf and sit at their table.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> The Painter Elves color the toys made by the Builders.

They nod to the Head Elf and sit at their table.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> You have to be very talented to become a Wrapper Elf, because they add the finishing touch to every present. The Wrapper Elves mime their actions \u2014 cutting long ribbons with big scissors and tying them neatly around boxes.<\/em><\/p>\n Wrapper Elf 1:<\/strong> The child who gets this gift will be amazed!<\/p>\n Wrapper Elf 2:<\/strong> What a wonderful job we have!<\/p>\n The Head Elf looks at his watch and taps his foot.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> It seems he\u2019s waiting for someone.<\/p>\n He looks off into the distance.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> Suddenly, the one they\u2019ve been waiting for appears. Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> Sorry! I woke up late.<\/p>\n Head Elf:<\/strong> Not a very good start for your first day on the job.<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> The Mischievous Elf has just been hired. Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> You\u2019ll see \u2014 I\u2019ll make up for it! I work very fast.<\/p>\n Head Elf<\/strong> scratching his chin<\/em>\u00a0: Hmm\u2026 I need to find a team for you.<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> The Head Elf looks over toward the Builder Elves.<\/p>\n Builder Elf:<\/strong> We already don\u2019t have enough space at our table.<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> So he walks toward the Painter Elves.<\/p>\n Painter Elf:<\/strong> Has he studied all the colors?<\/p>\n The Head Elf shakes his head no.<\/em><\/p>\n Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> I could be a Wrapper Elf!<\/p>\n Wrapper Elf:<\/strong> That takes a lot of experience.<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> The Head Elf is now in quite a pickle. Head Elf:<\/strong> You\u2019ll be in charge of the Wish Distributor Machine.<\/p>\n Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> Really?<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> But what is the Wish Distributor Machine? Head Elf:<\/strong> Then you press the blue button.<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> When you press the blue button, a little card comes out of the slot. Head Elf:<\/strong> The purple button is for the Wrapper Elves.<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> When a gift is properly wrapped, all that\u2019s left is to add a small Christmas tag to identify it. Head Elf:<\/strong> But be careful \u2014 don\u2019t press the red button!<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> The red button turns the machine off and erases all the children\u2019s wishes. Head Elf:<\/strong> You must be very careful.<\/p>\n Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> You can count on me!<\/p>\n Head Elf:<\/strong> I have to leave for a while. I\u2019ve got a meeting with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.<\/p>\n Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> What should I do while you\u2019re gone?<\/p>\n Head Elf:<\/strong> Stay near the machine and wait for instructions from the others. Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> No problem. You\u2019ll be proud of me!<\/p>\n The Head Elf exits the stage, looking a little rushed.<\/em><\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> The Mischievous Elf hopes to prove that he deserves his coworkers\u2019 trust. Mischievous Elf:<\/strong> Maybe I could play a little trick on someone\u2026<\/p>\n Narrator:<\/strong> Pretending to be interested in what the Builder Elves are doing, he quietly approaches their table. The Mischievous Elf giggles softly, then returns to stand beside the machine.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
Scene 1 \u2013 The Elves at Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nNarrator:<\/strong> Sometimes, small mistakes can lead to big disasters.
\nThe story we\u2019re about to tell is proof of that! It takes place at the North Pole, right inside Santa\u2019s workshop \u2014 where the elves build and wrap all the Christmas gifts. Every morning, the Head Elf arrives early.<\/p>\n
\nBefore the other elves arrive, he inspects the place to make sure everything is in order.<\/p>\n
\nThey must choose the right colors and paint with great care.<\/p>\n
\nSanta loves when toys are placed in beautiful boxes, tied with shiny ribbons.<\/p>\n
\nScene 2 of this Christmas play script for beginners \u2013 The Mischievous Elf Enters<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nNarrator:<\/strong> As you can see, there\u2019s a wonderful sense of harmony in the workshop.
\nHowever, that peaceful atmosphere is about to change.
\nIn fact, the Head Elf is starting to look a little impatient.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s the Mischievous Elf!<\/p>\n
\nHe\u2019s now officially an apprentice.<\/p>\n
\nHe thinks for a moment \u2014 and suddenly, he gets an idea.<\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019re about to find out.
\nThe Head Elf leads the Mischievous Elf to a large box with three colored buttons and a small slot.
\nThis machine contains all the gift wishes that children have sent to Santa for Christmas.
\nWhenever a Builder Elf finishes a toy, they need a new order.<\/p>\n
\nOn the card, it might say, for example:
\n\u201cWilliam from Poppy Street would like a dinosaur.\u201d
\nThe Mischievous Elf must then bring that card to the Builder Elf who requested it.<\/p>\n
\nSo the machine prints a card that says, for example,
\n\u201cTo William, from Santa.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIf the machine stops, the elves will have to collect every wish again,
\nand that would delay the gift preparations a great deal.<\/p>\n
\nScene 3 \u2013 The Mischievous Elf\u2019s Pranks<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nNarrator:<\/strong> Then, the Head Elf looks at his watch again. He suddenly remembers he has an appointment.<\/p>\n
\nAnd most importantly \u2014 don\u2019t touch the red button.<\/p>\n
\nHe stands up straight, ready to help whenever he\u2019s needed.
\nUnfortunately, no one seems to need him at the moment.
\nThe minutes pass, and he begins to get bored.
\nThe problem with being called the Mischievous Elf is that prank ideas tend to pop into your head very quickly.<\/p>\n
\nSince they\u2019re deeply focused, it\u2019s easy for him to grab one of their hammers and place it on the Painter Elves\u2019 table.<\/p>\n
