SCRIPT:
Scene 1: The Bunny House
NARRATOR: It was a beautiful Spring morning, and all the little bunnies in the Bunny family were getting ready for a big day of shopping.
MRS. BUNNY: (Calling out) Hop to it, everyone! Breakfast is on the table, and we have a very busy day ahead!
BUNNY 1: I’m coming, Mommy! I’m almost ready!
BUNNY 2: Mom, I think my shoes have vanished into thin air! I can’t find them anywhere!
MRS. BUNNY: (Laughing) Try looking under your bed, honey. I think they’re playing hide-and-seek.
BUNNY 3: Mommy, where is my lucky green shirt? I want to wear it today!
MRS. BUNNY: It’s hanging right in the closet, dear. Just where you left it.
BUNNY 1, 2, 3: Mommy, we’re ready! But can you please help us with our buttons and laces?
NARRATOR: Mrs. Bunny patiently helped all the little bunnies get dressed and ready for the day.
MRS. BUNNY: There we go. Now, everyone to the kitchen for breakfast! I’ve made those delicious carrot cupcakes you love so much.
BUNNY 1, 2, 3: Hooray! Thank you, Mommy!
Scene 2: The Trip To The Mall
NARRATOR: Once breakfast was finished and every crumb was gone, Mrs. Bunny gathered her keys.
MRS. BUNNY: Everyone into the car! We’re heading to the mall.
BUNNY 1, 2, 3: Yeah! Let’s go!
BUNNY 1: I am so happy! This is going to be the best day ever!
BUNNY 2: Me too! I love seeing all the bright lights at the mall!
BUNNY 3: Mommy… do you think… if we’re extra good, you might buy us an Easter Basket?
MRS. BUNNY: I’ll tell you what—if you can keep your ears up and your voices down, it’s a deal. But only if you behave!
Scene 3: At The Mall
NARRATOR: They finally arrived at the mall. Because they were so excited, the little bunnies forgot their promise and began to make a lot of noise.
MRS. BUNNY: Shh! Be quiet, little ones! You are making such a loud noise that I’m starting to get a headache.
NARRATOR: But the bunnies didn’t listen. They began running through the aisles and jumping over the displays!
MRS. BUNNY: (Firmly) That is enough! If you cannot use your “quiet paws,” then I’m afraid you will not get your Easter Baskets today!
BUNNY 1: Oh no! We forgot our promise!
BUNNY 2: We’re sorry, Mommy! We’ll be good, we promise!
BUNNY 3: Yes, we’ll be as quiet as carrots in a garden!
NARRATOR: For the rest of the trip, the little bunnies were on their very best behavior. They walked quietly and stayed close to their mother. As a reward, Mrs. Bunny bought each of them a beautiful Easter Basket.
BUNNY 1, 2, 3: Thank you, Mommy! We love them!
BUNNY 1: Look at all the delicious candies I have in mine!
BUNNY 2: And look at the colorful eggs in mine! They’re so bright!
BUNNY 3: Wow! Look! Mine has the toy I’ve wanted for a long time!
MRS. BUNNY: You all did a wonderful job. Who would like a strawberry ice cream cone before we head home?
BUNNY 1, 2, 3: We would! Yes, please!
NARRATOR: The little bunnies enjoyed their ice cream cones as a special treat before leaving.
MRS. BUNNY: Let’s head home now. Your father must be waiting for us to hear all about our adventure.
BUNNY 1, 2, 3: Thank you, Mommy, for such a wonderful day at the mall!
