My First Monologue Book: 100 Monologues for Young Children
()
About this ebook
Everyday life was never so nutty! Inside My First Monologue Book you'll find 100 imaginative "what if" pieces for would-be princesses, cowboys, robots, and superheroes as well as real-life issues like unfair bedtimes, making new friends, and the horrible taste of broccoli. At this stage in life there are lots of firsts, too, like going to a new school and losing your teeth, so there are plenty of topics for children to connect with. Divided into sections by theme and sprinkled with illustrations, the material in this book is easily incorporated into existing reading curriculum. Often, young children are given work written for older students that is difficult for them to understand and retain. While not dumbed-down, this material is comprehensible, relatable, and fun.

FUN AND GAMES
Games are fun! (Sometimes …)
JOE
Joe just finished playing a board game with his family. He lost.
I hate losing! You cheated! This game is stupid. I don’t care if I broke the game board.
I don’t see why she’s crying; I’m the one who lost this stupid game. You have no reason to be upset! I’m never, ever playing this game again!
Don’t worry. I’m already going to my room. It’s better than being here.
MICHELLE
Michelle likes to play house with her best friend, Ana. But Ana doesn’t want to play house any more.
Let’s play house. I’ll be the mom, and you can be the baby. How come you don’t want to play? We can find someone else to be the baby, if you want.
We’re not too old to play this game. It’s not baby stuff! We could play school instead, and I could be the teacher— Well, what do you want to play, Ana?
You want to stand around staring at each other? Why? Your sister does that with her friends? I’m never going to be a teenager. It sounds boring!
JULIA
Julia likes to play tag with the boys. But they always make her it.
Julia’s not very fast, so she’s it
a lot!
Why am I always it? I’m sick of it. Why don’t you be it first, Brian? Just this time? Please? Why not? I thought you were my friend. You won’t be my friend unless I’m it first? I just don’t want to be it this one little time! Please?
(Shouting.) Mr. Sipp, Brian won’t be it!
I have to tell on you. You’re being mean.
You’ll be it? Really? Really really?
Wait! You can’t tag me that fast. You guys? Wait up!
NICK
Nick is playing tag. He just tagged his friend, Ross.
I tagged you. I did! I got your shirt. I did, too! You just don’t want to be it. You always pretend you didn’t feel it. It’s not how you play the game. You have to be it sometimes. You can’t always get your way. It’s part of the game. You’re it! Come on! You have to! Stop being such a baby. You’re no fun to play with. Know what, I’m not playing anymore. And I won’t play ever again unless you learn to play right. That means you’re (Tagging imaginary person in front of him.)
