You trust me, don’t you? I promise: it’s going to be okay. You just lie down and close your eyes, and it’ll be like when we’ve had a big playdate and go to bed early because we’re so tired and can’t keep our eyes open any longer. You don’t need to be scared, I’m pretty sure I’ve met all the vets and nurses and they’re all really nice!
You have to stay at the vet and they’re going to take care of you. Well, thing is, you won’t be coming home with us this time. I know, I don’t like that place either! But they give you a treat at the end and I get to pick a lollipop from the jar, so I guess it’s not that bad. We’re going to get in the car soon and drive to the vet. Dad told me not to say, but I’m pretty sure you won’t dob me in. That’s older than Gran!Īnyway, I have to tell you something. Are you comfy there? Did you know that you’re twelve years old now?

Monologues for Boys Time To Go, Rufus (by Indiana Kwong) Why are they saying the monologue in the first place? Who are they talking to? Answering these simple questions will help bring any monologue to life. Make sure you push your child/student to be precise in learning monologues: remind them that every word has been put on the page for a reason, and they need to be ‘script detectives’ to work out what the writer is trying to say! Get them to think deeply about what the character wants. Keep it exciting and keep it fun! We have split this page into material for boys and girls, but remember that most monologues can be performed or adapted for any young person. The key is to find a monologue that resonates.Īlways pick something your child/student feels comfortable and confident performing. However, some of these may still suit slightly older, or more advanced performers. If you’re looking for something more advanced, we also have monologues for teenagers and monologues for adults available. These monologues are great for auditions, performances at eisteddfods or even for use in classes or private lessons. Most of these monologues are short and easy to learn, ideal for children under the age of fifteen.
