(Teachers note: You will need 2 'small' children, a ‘neighbour’ and a ‘parent.’ and ‘Monopoly’ money)

[THE TWO CHILDREN ARE PASSING A FOOTBALL TO EACH OTHER]

Boy: Let's see what damage I can do to that window!

 

Other boy: Don't be stupid!

 

Boy: What's the matter with you! You're not 'chicken' are you?

 

Other boy: [LOOKS AWAY]

 

Boy: [KICKS THE BALL AND BREAKS A NEIGHBOUR’S WINDOW]

 

Neighbour: [ANGRY] Oi! That's my window you've broken!

 

Boy: [HANGS HEAD]

Neighbour: That's a lot of money that is. It's not ordinary glass you know!

It will cost a fortune to repair that, and I want you to pay for it.

 

Boy: [LOOK WORRIED] How am I going to pay for it?

 

Neighbour: That's not my problem! I want this repaired now!

 

Boy: But I can't!

 

Parent: [WALK ON TO STAGE] I see that there is a problem here.

 

Neighbour: Yes, there certainly is a problem! My window has been broken by this child,

and I want it paid for now!

 

Parent: [PUT HAND IN POCKET AND PULL OUT A BUNDLE OF MONEY] Here, this should cover all

your expenses and pay for all the trouble this has caused you.

 

Neighbour: Thanks, that should more than cover it. No hard feelings then?

 

Boy and Parent: No. Bye!
