Kids Monologue of the Month

Tips for preparing a monologue:
  • Imagine the person you're speaking to. If you're supposed to be speaking to the audience, imagine who they are--friends? enemies? the doorman?
  • Imagine where you are and the things that are around you.
  • Create a set by using real objects that are handy--chairs, benches, fake tree, etc.
  • You can use real objects for props, too--book, wallet, football, etc.
  • Be expressive--get mad or happy or sad or just have some attitude as you perform your monologue.
  • Movement & Gestures--use them. Don't just stand still while doing a monologue.
  • If there are stage directions—in parenthesis—in the monologue below, use them or come up with your own. They're just suggestions. If a monologue has ellipses (three dots in a row), act as if you’re listening to someone else responding or speaking to you. But those ellipses might also just mean there's a slight pause. Read through the monologue and see if you're listening to someone or just pausing for effect.
    Break a leg! (That's theater talk for "good luck." It's bad luck to say "good luck" in the theater so you say "Break a leg!")

Here is a monologue for May. Have fun!:
CONSIDER THE CARROT​
​The carrot has a lot of uses. It is a perfect nose for a snowman. If a carrot is chopped into little discs, they become stepping stones for a fairy garden. Don't they look like rockets too? I love using permanent markers to decorate my carrot-rocket. Sometimes my brother and I pretend we're entering an enemy castle; we use carrots as our throwing knives. Baby carrots are broken-off dragon claws that tell us we're in big danger. Carrots can be used to feed starving rabbits in Canada. With all these uses, why does mom think I need to eat them?
