SUMMARY Two Easter bunnies deliver a chocolate bunny to each child in the class. Unfortunately, one Easter Bunny loves chocolate too much and eats a part of each bunny. He gets a useful lesson in the end though, when a dog (who loves Easter bunnies) tries to take a bite of him. |

| SET-UP
Choose two children to play the Easter Bunnies. Get them to stand at the front of the class. Provide them with a bag filled with paper chocolate bunnies. Arrange the class in a U shape so the Easter bunnies can go student to student handing out the chocolate bunnies. Choose one child to play a dog. Get this child to sit with the last student in the U. Make paper bunny ears for the two Easter bunnies. Fasten them to a thin band of paper (stapled into a circle) and place them on the bunny children's heads. Tie some cotton to a string and get the bunny students to tuck the string into the back of their pants. This will give them a fluffy white tail. See "How to use plays in the classroom" for more tips on setting up the class for a play.

THE SCRIPT
The two bunny children stand at the front of the class. The first one says: EB1: It's Easter. We have to give chocolate bunnies to all the children. EB2 says in an exaggerated, proud voice: EB2: I looooooove chocolate bunnies. It is important that EB2 says this line in a funny, exaggerated voice. Encourage the children to really ham it up by setting the example. EB1: Me too. Okay. Let's go. EB1 picks up a bag of chocolate bunnies and gives it to EB2. The two start to walk around the classroom. EB2 walks behind EB1. He pretends to nibble on the chocolate bunnies. Suddenly EB1 turns around. He looks at the chocolate bunnies. EB1: Oh, no. You ate the ears, head, legs, and nose. EB2 smiles and says in his exaggerated voice: EB2: Yes. I looooooove chocolate bunnies. EB1 sighs. EB1: Let's go. The two bunny children walk to the first student. They stand in front of the student and pretend to ring a doorbell. Student1: Hello. Who is it? EB1 & 2: The Easter bunny. Student1 pretends to open his door. EB1: Here you are. Here is your chocolate bunny. Student1: Thank you. Student1 looks at chocolate bunny. Student1: Hey. Where are the ears? EB1 points to EB2. EB1: I'm sorry. He ate the ears. EB2: Yes, I loooooove chocolate bunnies. Student1 huffs and closes his door angrily. The two bunnies walk to the second student. Again they pretend to ring a doorbell. Student2 Hello. Who is it? EB1 & 2: The Easter bunny. Student2 pretends to open his door. EB1: Here you are. Here is your chocolate bunny. Student2: Thank you. Student2 looks at chocolate bunny. Student2: Hey. Where are the ears? EB1 points to EB2. EB1: I'm sorry. He ate the ears. EB2: Yes, I loooooove chocolate bunnies. Student2 huffs and closes his door angrily. The two bunnies walk to the second student. Again they pretend to ring a doorbell. Student3: Hello. Who is it? EB1 & 2: The Easter bunny. Student3 pretends to open his door. EB1: Here you are. Here is your chocolate bunny. Student3: Thank you. Student3 looks at chocolate bunny. Student3: Hey. Where are the ears? EB1 points to EB2. EB1: I'm sorry. He ate the ears. EB2: Yes, I loooooove chocolate bunnies. Student3 huffs and closes his door angrily. The bunnies continue around the classroom. Each child receives a bunny but then is angry that a part of the bunny is missing. Finally, the Easter bunnies come to the last child. They pretend to ring the student's doorbell. Last Student: Hello. Who is it? EB1 & 2: The Easter bunny. The student pretends to open the door. Another student is sitting with this child pretending to be his dog. EB1: Here you are. Here is your chocolate bunny. Student: Thank you. The student looks at the chocolate bunny. Student: Hey. Where is the leg? EB1 points at EB2. EB1: I'm sorry. He ate the leg. EB2: Yes, I loooooove chocolate bunnies. The dog student barks suddenly. EB2 is scares and starts to run away. The dog chases EB2 around the class. They both run outside. EB2 takes off his ears and then both children run back inside. EB1: Where are your ears? EB2 (looking very upset) points to the dog. EB2: He ate them. The dog barks and smiles. In the same exaggerated, proud voice as EB2 he says: Dog: Yes, I looooove Easter bunnies.
