Little Bo-Peep enters
Little Bo-Peep -- Little Lamb, where are you? Little Lamb come home. Oh Hello, I’m Little Bo-Peep and I’ve lost my sheep, well actually, I lost a lamb, Little Lamb I call him. He’s really cute but he’s also very naughty. I told him to stay close to me, but he wandered off. I guess the grass looked greener on the other side. I just don’t know where to find him. Pa says, leave him alone and he’ll come home, and bring his tail behind him. What ever that’s suppose to mean, Pa’s always saying the craziest things, anyway, I just felt like I had to leave the other sheep, in order to find Little Lamb. Have ya heard, the Big Bad Wolf is back again and boy is he hungry? That’s why I need to find him, Please if you see him, tell him Little Bo- Peep’s looking for him. Thank you!

Mary Had a Little Lamb! -- $10.00

by Desiree Vik
"Mary Had A Little Lamb" draws from a variety of children's stories and creates a common theme – Stay Away From the Big Bad Wolf! - A Great story for Christmas
Staging -- The set can be very simple. An area to one side that belongs to the ‘sheep’. It has a bench or rocks, maybe a well. An area on the other side for Little Red’s Grandmother’s bed, which is converted quickly to the three bear’s cottage. The center is used for most of the action. We had about 35 children in the cast, about half of them extra Little Lambs or characters with one or two lines. We found it advisable to have the sheep exit during scenes they were not involved in. If this is done quickly and simply you avoid the problems of wiggly, squirmy children!
Playing Time -- 35 minutes
Cast -- 15-25 children.
Narrator, Little Bo Peep, Big Bad Wolf, Sparky, Bell, Ma
Pete, Little Lamb, Mary, Joseph, Pansy, Porky, Ginger
Fluffy, Ted, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldie Locks
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear, Ann
Jay, Betsy, Shepherd
