Christmas in July: Two Holiday One Act Plays

What do you do when the Elves have the flu?

by Mrs. Evelyn Merritt

Do you know what to do when the Elves have the flu? I haven't a clue, I wish I knew!

And this is no ordinary flu. It's Elven flu. The Elves can't eat, they can't sleep and they certainly can't work. And with Christmas around the corner, how will the toys get made? How will this sickie scrape get solved?

This play was dramatized by our 8th grade class and it allowed them a great deal of self-direction. Many people shared it was our best annual 8th Grade Christmas play ever!
