Are you looking for a short script for young actors at Christmas?
Bowl Full of Jelly is a festive, feel-good tale where Santa struggles with his growing belly and fears he can’t do his job. With help from Mrs. Claus and his elves, he learns that it’s not his size that matters, but the joy and magic he brings to Christmas.

CHARACTERS

• Mrs. Claus: Santa’s supportive and witty partner who helps him realise his worth beyond his physical appearance. She provides wisdom and encouragement throughout the story.
• Head Elf Tinkle: The cheerful and slightly mischievous leader of the elves. Always ready with a joke or a light-hearted suggestion to lift the mood.
• Head Elf Sparkle: An organised and inventive elf who loves coming up with over-the-top plans to solve problems. Often armed with a clipboard full of ideas.
• Child: A sweet, sleepy child who reassures Santa that his appearance doesn’t matter, only the joy he brings.
