Penny Candy Skit
Required:
3 scouts - Narrator, Storekeeper, Kid
Notes:
You could act this out between other skits or songs with one day being done each scene.
Script:
(store keeper is dusting his counter, waiting for customers to come into his candy store.)
Narrator: One day in a candy shop...
Storekeeper: What a great day! There will be lots of kids buying candy today!
Kid: Hi, I'd like 5 of those penny candies up on the top shelf. (points way up behind storekeeper)
Storekeeper: You mean those candies waaaaay up there? (points up)
Kid: Yep!
(storekeeper turns and climbs up, up, up a pretend ladder, gets the candies, and brings them down.)
Storekeeper: That'll be 5 cents, please.
Kid: Here you go. Thanks! (Kid leaves)
Narrator: The next day...
(storekeeper is dusting countertop when kid enters)
Kid: Hi, I'd like 5 of those penny candies up on the top shelf. (points way up behind storekeeper)
Storekeeper: You mean those candies waaaaay up there? (points up)
Kid: Yep!
(storekeeper turns and slowly climbs up, up, up a pretend ladder, gets the candies, and brings them down.)
Storekeeper: That'll be 5 cents, please.
Kid: Here you go. Thanks! (Kid leaves)
(repeat this at least once more, with the storekeeper getting more tired each time, until finally...)
Narrator: The next day...
(storekeeper is dusting countertop when kid enters)
Storekeeper: Aha! I see that kid coming. I know what he's going to buy so I'll get the candies ready for him. (he climbs up and gets 5 candies)
(kid enters)
Storekeeper: Hello, I bet I know what you want - 5 candies from way up on top, right?
Kid: Nope, not today.
Storekeeper: (big sigh) Oh, then wait a minute while I put these back. (climbs all the way up, puts the candies away, and climbs down)
Storekeeper: OK, what WOULD you like today?
Kid: I only have 3 cents so I would like THREE of those penny candies up on the top shelf!
Narrator: One day in a candy shop...
