Bungee Jump Bear Trap

by Lindsay Price

Risk comes in many forms (skateboarding without a helmet) and fears (raising your hand in class). There are dumb risks (don’t bungee jump into a bear trap) and smart risks. Sometimes you need to leap without knowing what the outcome will be.

Is safety really as simple as duct taping pillows all over your body and never going outside? Join the characters in this vignette play as they try to figure it all out.

Seriously though, stay away from bear traps.

Praise for Bungee Jump Bear Trap

Lisa Martens
Aspengrove School
My students had a lot of fun putting this play together; it uses humorous situations to convey what is actually a very deep message about safety, risk, and self-discovery.
