Here's a 15-minute play script for 37 children in an English play, where only some
of the characters have dialogues, while the rest are involved in gestures, movements, and non-

Scene 1: The Village Square

(The stage is set like a village square. Ella, Sam, Lily, and Max are at the center, with 6
villagers scattered around. The villagers are busy with simple tasks, and some move about,
nonchalantly watching the children. Ella opens a book she found.)

Ella: (Excitedly) Look, guys! This book says there’s a hidden treasure—the Crystal Crown! It’s in
the Enchanted Forest, but we need to follow the map and complete tasks to find it.

Sam: (Skeptical) Are you sure? It could be just another one of those stories.

Lily: (Looking at the book) But what if it’s real? It’s worth a try!

Max: (Jokingly) I’m in. What’s the worst that could happen? A treasure hunt sounds fun! But I hope
there’s a snack at the end.

(Villagers start moving around, some shaking their heads, others nodding as if to indicate
the children should go ahead. The children prepare to leave.)

Scene 2: The Edge of the Enchanted Forest

(The stage transforms to an enchanted forest, with large trees, vines, and fog. Forest
Spirits, 10 children, move in the background, swaying like trees or creating mystical
movements. The River children, 4 children, begin to make flowing water sounds, gesturing
as if the children need to cross.)

Ella: (Pointing ahead) This is it! We need to find our way through the forest and face the
challenges.

Sam: (Nervous) Are we really going to cross this river? What if there are creatures in the water?

Lily: (Confidently) We can do it together. Just follow the glowing stones on the riverbank.

Max: (Laughing) If I get wet, you’re all going to hear about it!

(The River children begin to create flowing water motions. Max crosses the river first with
exaggerated, cautious steps, followed by Ella, Lily, and Sam.)

Scene 3: The Heart of the Forest – Encounter with Professor Fluff

(In the heart of the forest, Professor Fluff (played by one child with an owl costume)
appears, flapping its wings and circling the children. Forest Spirits move in the
background, lighting up the forest as if guiding them. The Guardian enters from the other
side, standing silently, watching the children.)

Professor Fluff: (With a magical voice) Welcome, brave travelers. You have crossed the river, but
before you move forward, you must answer a riddle.

Max: (Grinning) I’m great with riddles! Go ahead, Professor.

Professor Fluff: (Riddling voice)

(Ella, Sam, and Lily think hard, while Max jumps up excitedly.)

Max: (Confidently) It’s an echo!

Professor Fluff: (Impressed) Well done! You may proceed, but remember, the tests ahead will
require you to rely on more than just your brains.

Scene 4: The Maze of Challenges

(The stage transforms into a maze, with 4 Maze children positioning themselves to create
obstacles. They move swiftly and silently as the children navigate through them. The group
of children follows the glowing path marked by Forest Spirits. The Guardian watches from
a distance.)

Ella: (Pointing forward) This way, I think. Look at the glow! It’s leading us out of the maze.

Max: (Joking) As long as we don’t end up lost, I’m good. (He pretends to get lost and calls for
help.)
Lily: (Following the glowing stones) It’s working. Keep going, everyone!

Sam: (Hesitant but determined) Let’s stay together, guys. We’ll make it through if we stick to the
path.

(The children move through the maze as the Maze children create barriers and open paths,
allowing the group to progress. After overcoming the maze, they reach a new space, the
final destination.)

Scene 5: The Final Challenge – The Crystal Crown

(The stage brightens as they enter a magical clearing. The Crystal Crown is placed atop an
altar, glowing brightly. The Guardian appears in front of them, signaling for the children to
stop. The Guardian speaks in a powerful voice.)

The Guardian: (Seriously) You have passed all the tests of courage, wisdom, and friendship. But
now, the final test remains. The Crystal Crown cannot be taken by just anyone. It is given only to
those who show true teamwork and kindness. Are you ready?

Ella: (Standing tall) We are ready. We’ve learned that the journey itself is the true treasure.

Sam: (Nodding) Together, we’ve overcome every challenge. We couldn’t have done it alone.

Lily: (Smiling) We believed in each other, and that’s what got us here.

Max: (Grinning) And we had fun while doing it! That’s the most important part, right?

(The Guardian nods and steps aside. The children approach the Crystal Crown, lifting it
together. The Forest Spirits move in a circle around them, creating a magical glow as the
children hold the Crown.)

Scene 6: Return to the Village – The Lesson Learned

(The group returns to the village, holding the Crown. Villagers gather around, cheering.
Forest Spirits, River children, and Magical Creatures are present, celebrating the success
of the children.)

Ella: (Smiling) The Crown isn’t the real treasure. The real treasure was the friendship, the
teamwork, and the journey we shared.

Sam: (Smiling) I guess sometimes the most valuable things are the lessons we learn along the
way.

Max: (Laughing) And the fun we have! This was the best treasure hunt ever.

Lily: (Looking around) I think our next adventure will be even better.

(The children stand together, holding the Crystal Crown, as the audience applauds. The
curtain closes.)
