The Monologues
Below are the three monologues that you can choose from according to your age. It’s super important that you perform the monologue for your age group. This makes it a much fairer contest with everyone in each age group working on the same piece.
Monologues for Kids Aged 5-9 years
Synopsis: Our Hero’s is playing hide and seek with a bunch of boys and can’t find anybody.
Hero:
Hey! Where did everybody go? I give up! I counted to a hundred, like you said. It took a really long time. Where is everybody? I said I give up! I can’t find you!
I’ve been looking for ages. Can anybody hear me? This isn’t funny any more, you guys. Come out, come out, wherever you are! Come on, guys. Let’s play a different game! We could play tag outside? Or maybe we could have a snack and play video games? I’ll let you guys play first! I promise! Just come out. I can’t find you, OK? I give up. What more do you want from me? Guys? Hey, guys?

Monologues for Kids Aged 10-13 years
Synopsis: Our Hero’s is explaining to her friends why they need to watch a scary movie during their sleepover
Hero:
Okay, I get it. It’s not Halloween, but hear me out. Every single time we sit down to watch a movie, you guys just want to watch comedies and old cartoons. Yeah, those movies are great and we always have a good time, but let’s do something different for a change. Let’s watch a scary movie.
Scary movies are the best. If you pick the right one, you’ve got a bit of comedy and lots of jump scares. What are jump scares? You know those moments in the movie when the tension is building and then… Bam! A big scare that makes you jump off your seat. That’s a jump scare. I love that feeling and it’s so much more fun when there are a few of you watching the movie together. That’s because sure, you might be really scared, but you’re all scared together.
I don’t know about you, but if I watch another reboot of an old classic kids movie I just might die of boredom. So what do you think? Scary movie night?

Monologues for Teens Aged 14-17 years
Synopsis: Our Hero’s siblings are not helping clean the kitchen before their parents get home.
Hero:
Come on you guys, it’s getting late and mom and dad will be back real soon. Listen, you decided you wanted to bake and I said ‘fine, as long as you clean up afterwards’ and you both said ‘sure thing, no problem, yes siree!’
I even told you not to use the electric mixer so you don’t need to wash so much stuff and… wait, is that egg on the floor? Did one of you walk in it? Oh no, it’s all over the place . Were you in the living room on the carpet?
Look, I have a big test tomorrow and I need to study. I don’t have time to clear up after you guys and mom and dad will be so angry if they see the new carpet is messed up. You both promised me that you wouldn’t get me in trouble again after what happened last time.
I can’t get grounded again. The end of term party is this weekend and I don’t want to miss it because my stupid little brothers wouldn’t clean up their own mess.
Forget it, I’ll just do it myself, but I’m telling mom and dad that it was you that almost ruined the carpet.

What a professional outfit, from the very beginning of the process.
