(Set out enough chairs for each child to make a 'car' with one in front for the driver. The children mill
around, some wearing hats, some carrying bags, some wearing sun glasses.)
Driver: Hello everyone, are you ready to go to town?
Children: Yes thank you. (All climb into their seats and pretend to fasten their safety belts.)
Driver: Are you ready? Let's go!
Child 1: Wait, wait, I forgot my bag! (Jumps out of the 'car' and hurries off, returning with a bag and
climbing back in.)
Driver: Are you ready now? Let's go!
Children: We're ready. Let's go!.
Child 2: Wait, wait, I forgot my jacket! (Jumps out of the 'car' and hurries off, returning with a jacket and climbing back in. While waiting the driver starts getting impatient, tapping his foot.)
Driver: OK. Are you ready now?
Children: Yes yes, we're ready. Let's go!
Child 3: Wait, wait, I forgot my sunglasses! (Jumps out of the 'car' and hurries off, returning with
sunglasses and climbing back in. While waiting the driver gets more and more impatient, tapping his foot, looking at his watch.)
Driver: OK? Are you ready now?
Children: Yes, we're ready
Driver: Are you sure you are all ready?
Children: Yes yes yes!! We're ready. Let's go!. (Children make out that the driver is crazy for thinking
that they are not ready.)
Driver: OK, let's go.
Child 4: Wait! I forgot my hat. (Jumps out of the 'car' and hurries off)
Driver: (Big sigh and looking heavenward) Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Child with hat: I'm really sorry! Child returns with the hat and gets back in the 'car'.
Driver: Are you ready?.
Children: Yes, we're ready now.
Driver: Are you sure you're ready?
Children: Yes, we're sure.
Driver: Are you sure you're sure?
Children: YES! We're sure we're sure we're ready! Let's go!
Driver: Oh oh. (Driver feels for the ignition keys) I forgot my keys!
