Scene 1
(In the classroom during recess)

(Everyone is in the classroom getting ready for the Halloween

Party later on. They are organizing the games and activities and
talking about their costumes.)

Jane: Tom, I’ve got these six pumpkins. What can I do with
them?

Tom: (Looking serious) Don’t you remember what Ms Lai has

told us today? We’re going to make Jack o’ Lanterns
with these pumpkins. You should carve faces into them.

Ken: Tom, can we use three of your pumpkins for a game at

our party? Can we just put horrible things in them?
You know, like cold spaghetti, jelly and stuff. I saw it
on TV last week.

Cherry: Oh, Ken, that sounds really horrible. I think I like

Christmas better than Halloween!

Jane: Oh, come on, Cherry. Don’t be scared! Halloween is

fun.

(Ken comes up behind Jane with a skeleton mask on and jumps in

front of her.)

Ken: Boo!

(Cherry jumps in fright.)

Cherry: Ahh! You scared me, Ken!

Tom: Come on, Cherry, that’s Halloween.

Jane: Cherry, what costume are you going to wear at the

party? I’m coming as a witch in black and glowing green,
e-hee-hee-heeee!

(Jane makes a scary face like a witch.)

Cherry: Oh, Jane, I’m coming as a nice witch in glowing white

with a magic wand. I can’t wait to wear my costume and
give out a lot of treats.

Ken: Don’t forget about the tricks, Cherry.

Tom: Yeah, Cherry, at Halloween we have to play ‘Trick or

Treat’. If you don’t get a treat, you have to trick the
person.

Ken: I can’t wait to scare Ms Lai in my ghost costume. She

doesn’t like scary things.

Jane: This Halloween Party is going to be so much fun!

Everyone is going to enjoy it.

Scene 2
(In the hall decorated for the Halloween Party)

(The party is going well with scary music, students calling out in
fright and laughter. Cherry is waiting to play the guessing game.
The person in front of Cherry screams loudly, as she has just
pulled a false bull’s eye out of the pumpkin, full of cold spaghetti.)

Ken: Come on Cherry, it’s your turn now. See if you can get
a trick or a treat. She has just got a big bull’s eye with
slime all over it.

(Ken puts his hand into the pumpkin, pulls out a wet eye and laughs
loudly. Cherry screams and runs away waving her glowing magic
wand.)

Tom: Jane, Trick or Treat!

Jane: What are you supposed to be? You don’t look scary to
me at all.

Tom: I’m Ding-dong, the robot-like cat. Anyone can see I’m
Ding-dong in this blue and white costume! Here, you
can put the treat in my magic pocket.

(Tom opens his magic pocket in his costume and waits for his
treat.)

Jane: (Putting a sweet in Tom’s magic pocket) Treat. Happy

Halloween!

(Jane speaks into the microphone and gets everyone’s attention.)

Jane: Happy Halloween! Everyone, please listen. Ms Lai is

going to announce the winner of the best costume
contest in a minute. Will it be the scariest one, Ms Lai?

(Ms Lai takes the microphone.)

Ms Lai: Happy Halloween, everyone! What a wonderful party

you’ve organized! Jane, you’re the most wicked witch
of the day. But sorry, Jane, you’re not the winner. The
best costume goes to the little white witch with the
glowing magic wand. That’s Cherry!

(Cherry jumps in delight and runs to the stage where Ms Lai gives
her the prize. Everyone claps but they do not like Ms Lai’s choice
of a white witch at Halloween. They want the scariest costume.)

Tom: Ken, I thought you would win for sure in your great
ghost costume. I’m scared just looking at you.

Ken: I couldn’t win because Ms Lai doesn’t like ghosts. Maybe

I’ll win next year.

(Jane has the microphone again.)

Jane: OK, everyone, please listen. Our Halloween Party is over.

I hope you’ve all had a good time and we look forward to
the next Halloween Party. Before you leave, please help
to clean up the hall. Thank you.

(Everyone claps and cheers.)

Scene 3
(In the hall cleaning up after the Halloween Party)

(The students go up to Ms Lai to play ‘Trick or Treat’.)

All 4 Students: Trick or Treat, Ms Lai!

Ms Lai: Oh dear, I don’t seem to have many treats left. Here

you are, Tom, Jane, Cherry ... oh, Ken, I’m sorry that’s
it. I’ve nothing left! Maybe next year?

Ken: (With a big grin on his face) Oh, Ms Lai. Don’t worry
about it.

Ms Lai: OK, let’s do the clean-up so that you can get home before
your parents start to worry about you. I don’t think we
have enough brooms for this mess. Tom and Ken, can
you get more brooms from the closet, please?

(Ken and Tom race off, but Tom returns quickly.)

Tom: Ms Lai, could you please come to unlock the closet door?
We can’t get in.

Ms Lai: Of course, Tom. I thought I had opened the door during

recess.

(Everyone follows Ms Lai to the closet at the back of the stage.

Ms Lai opens the door and screams. Ken is standing in the closet
and his ghost costume is glowing in the dark.)

Ms Lai: Ahhhhh!

(Ms Lai turns and hugs Cherry in fright.)

Ken: (Stepping out of the closet) Happy Halloween, Ms Lai!

All the Students: Happy Halloween, Ms Lai! Thanks for giving

us the best Halloween Party ever!

Ms Lai: Oh, Happy Halloween, everyone. I’m glad Halloween is

only once a year. For the next Halloween Party, I hope
you’ll all wear costumes like Cherry’s.

(Everyone laughs.)
