(As the curtains open, we see a group of enthusiastic kids gathered around a teacher, Ms. Johnson, who is holding a globe in her hand)
MS. JOHNSON: (excitedly) Welcome, everyone! Today, we’re here to celebrate a very special day – Earth Day! It’s a day when we learn how to take care of our planet and make a difference in protecting it.
KIDS: (cheering) Yay! Earth Day!
SCRIPT:
(As the play begins, Sara and Ben are chatting excitedly in the school playground)
SARA: (jumping up and down) Ben, guess what? Tomorrow is Earth Day!
BEN: (curiously) What’s Earth Day, Sara?
SARA: (grinning) It’s a special day when we celebrate our planet Earth and learn how to take care of it!
BEN: (nodding) That sounds cool! I want to help too!
SARA: (clapping) Great! Let’s do something awesome to save the Earth!
(They go to their teacher, Ms. Johnson, who is preparing for the Earth Day activities)
SARA: (eagerly) Ms. Johnson, can we do something special for Earth Day?
JOHNSON: (smiling) Of course! I have some exciting activities planned. We’ll learn about recycling, conservation, and how to protect the environment.
BEN: (curiously) What’s recycling?
JOHNSON: (explaining) Recycling is when we turn old things into new things. Like turning plastic bottles into new plastic bottles or paper into new paper.
SARA: (nodding) Recycling is a great way to help the Earth!
(They continue their conversation when Mr. Green, the environmentalist, enters)
GREEN: (cheerfully) Hello, everyone! I heard you’re celebrating Earth Day!
SARA: (excitedly) Yes, we are! Tell us more about Earth Day, Mr. Green!
BEN: (curiously) Yeah, what can we do to help?
GREEN: (enthusiastically) Earth Day is a special day to remind us to take care of our planet. We can reduce, reuse, and recycle to help the environment. We can also conserve energy and water, plant trees, and take care of animals and their habitats.
SARA: (determined) I want to do all of that and more to save the Earth!
BEN: (nodding) Me too!
(As they continue their discussion, Mother Earth enters, looking sad)
MOTHER EARTH: (sighing) Children, I’m glad you want to help. Our planet is in trouble. There’s pollution, deforestation, and climate change happening. We need your help to make a difference.
SARA: (determined) We won’t let you down, Mother Earth! We’ll do everything we can to save you!
BEN: (nodding) Yeah, we want to protect our planet!
(They come up with a plan to clean up the school grounds, plant trees, and spread awareness about Earth Day in their community. They work together, with the help of Mr. Green and Ms. Johnson, to carry out their plan)
(On Earth Day, they hold a school assembly to share their efforts and encourage others to join the cause)
SARA: (addressing the audience) Today is Earth Day, a special day to celebrate our planet and learn how to take care of it! We’ve been working hard to make a difference and help our environment.
