Play Script: Creating a Scene
Worksheet 10
Read the following short story. Use what happens in the story to create
your own scene.
The little girl watched as her grandfather climbed onto the big green tractor.
She wanted to ride with him, but her grandfather had lots of work to do. She
loved spending time with her grandfather. Grandfather planted a huge garden
every year. This meant that he spent hours on the tractor plowing up the
ground, planting seeds, covering those seeds, and then caring for them with
water and plant food. Sasha wanted to help but was too little to drive the
tractor. Just as she was getting really sad her grandfather rumbled up on the
tractor. He reached out his hand and helped her onto his lap. Grandfather had
seen how sad she was over not getting to help. They spent the morning riding
around plowing the field. After lunch they planted seeds and potatoes in the
long rows. Sasha was so happy to have extra time with her grandfather.
Use the story as inspiration for your play. Make sure to write some
dialogue for each character.
