Invisible Bench - plus Add-Ons Skit
Required:
4 to 8 scouts
Notes:
This is a funny skit the first time or two you see it. But, around here, it is waaaaay over-used. So, there have been a few add-ons created. See Raking an Invisible Garden skit also.
Script:
Scout #1 walks onstage and squats down as if he is sitting on a bench that is invisible.
Scout #2 walks up to #1.
Scout #2: Whatcha doin'?
Scout #1: Just sitting on this invisible bench.
Scout #2: Can I join you?
Scout #1: Sure.
Scout #2 sits down next to #1.
Scout #3 repeats the dialog.
Each scout comes on and repeats, making a long line of scouts sitting on the bench.
Last scout walks up to line of scouts.
last Scout : What are you guys doing?
all people: Just sitting here on this invisible bench.
last Scout : No you aren't. I moved the bench over there. (points)
All the sitting scouts fall down.
Add-On #1:
last Scout : No you aren't. I moved the bench over there yesterday. (points)
Scout #1: But, I moved it back here this morning!
last Scout : Oh, ok! (and sits down with the rest)
Add-On #2:
last Scout : Oh, ok! (and sits down with the rest)
one more Scout : What are you guys doing?

I had my 6 Tigers do this skit at a pack meeting. Easy to learn,
they had fun doing it, and the audience loved it!
