🎭 Children's Play Script: "Screen Time Par Natak Dekho!" (Kids enter singing) All Kids (singing): Aao aao natak dekho, screen time par natak dekho... (Kids move around and then settle down in a circle) Prince: Let’s start the play with a game... Wanna play hide and seek? Witch 1: Skip the games, let’s just watch some SCREEN!! Witch 2: Yes, let’s watch YouTube! Netflix!! And chill!! Witch 1 & Witch 2 (together): Come on kids!! Let’s have some fun!! Aao aao natak dekho, screen time par natak dekho, aao aao… (Both witches make two “screens” using dupattas; kids are glued to them in amazement) (Kid 1 goes to Kid 2) Kid 1: Hi friends! Would you like to play with me? (Kids rush to the front one by one) Kid 2: I’m sorry, I’m busy watching cartoons on TV. Kid 3: I’m watching YouTube videos. Kid 4: I’m playing video games! Prince (concerned): What is wrong with everyone? (Witches laugh. All kids return to a circle and sing again.) All Kids (singing): Aao aao natak dekho, screen time par natak dekho... (Kids sit on the front of the stage, watching screens in their hands) (Witches enter wearing sunglasses, dupattas, and caps) Witch 1: Hahaha!! We are the Queens of Screens!! Witch 2: Laptops, smartphones, TVs, watches — we are everywhere!! Witch 1: YouTube, Instagram, PlayStation — with every tap, we grow stronger and stronger! Witch 2: Who needs playgrounds anymore? Kid 1: Oh... I feel so lazy and sleepy... Kid 2: My neck hurts... Kid 3: I have pain in my eyes... Kid 4: I miss playing outside... (Kids begin to move behind witches like zombies. Witches engulf the kids with their dupattas.) Witches (marching and dancing, scary tone): Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. (Kids cry, scream, get angry and agitated) (Prince enters shouting and jumping from behind the audience) Prince: Stop right there, Screen Witches!! Enough!! These kids need fresh air, not frozen fingers... Witch 1: Oh please! They LOVE us! Witch 2: Yesssss! We give them everything — cartoons, reels, video games... Witch 1: Yesss, so much funnn!! Prince: But what about muscles, laughter, teamwork, and enjoying the beauty of green nature? Where are their parents? Witches (laugh): Parents!! Hahaha!! Witch 1 (to audience): Oh poor parents !! They are also busy on screens!! Hahaha! Witches (marching tone, scary): Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. (Kids cry, scream, get angry and agitated again) (Prince attacks and takes away their “screens”) Prince: Close your eyes and stop looking at screens! See the lovely green trees and vast blue sky — Let’s make real connections with friends and family! Come, take my hand! All (singing softly, joyfully): Aao aao natak dekho, screen time par natak dekho... (Each kid comes forward one by one with a placard and forms a beautiful "tree" shape) Prince: Friends, Romans, countrymen, and parents — lend me your ears! (Each kid speaks with a placard, one by one): Kid 1: One hour a day, screens are okay. Kid 2: But too much screen time is NOT okay! Kid 3: Eye strain & dryness – leads to headaches and blurred vision. Kid 4: Poor sleep – blue light disrupts melatonin and sleep cycles. Kid 5: Reduced attention span – affects focus and deep thinking. Kid 6: Mental health impact – linked to anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Kid 7: Physical inactivity – causes weight gain and weak muscles. Kid 8: Delayed development in kids – impacts language and social skills. Kid 9: Less real-life interaction – weakens family and social bonds. Kid 10: Time drain – reduces productivity and time for hobbies. Kid 11: Risk of myopia – rising cases of nearsightedness in all age groups. Kid 12: Screen addiction – makes it hard to disconnect and relax. All Kids Together (smiling and loud): Thank You!!
