Situation: Remy, a young rat, is taking every effort to become an expert chef. The interview of his role model chef Auguste Gusteau is being telecasted on a TV channel. After watching the show, Remy discovers his new found sense of taste and reacts in the following way:
Gusteau (speaking to a TV channel): How can I describe it? Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell. There is excellence all around you. You need only be aware to stop and savor it.
Remy: (Taking a morsel of cheese and a strawberry at the same time) Ah! Gusteau was right. Oh, mmm, yeah. Amazing. Each flavor was totally unique. But combine one flavor with another and something new was created…
Later, he tell his brother the secret of adding a smoky flavor to a dish. It is really too amusing to read his reaction after he tastes that food.
The key is to keep turning it to get the smoky flavor niiice You gotta taste this! This is… oh, it’s got this kind of… mmm, it’s burny, it’s melty… it’s not really a smoky taste. It’s kind of like a certain… Pshah! It’s got like this ” Ba-boom! Zap!” kind of taste. Dont you think? What would you call that flavor? … Yeah! It’s lightningy! We gotta do that again! Okay, when the next storm comes, we’ll go up on the roof… I know what this needs! Saffron. A little saffron would make this!

Monologue 1 0 – Quick And Easy Notes For Argumentative
Situation: A group of friends are exploring a seaside restaurant that is supposedly the location of a hidden treasure. One of the friends, Lawrence Chunk gets caught red-handed by the owners of the restaurant, the Fratellis. They are extremely angry to see Chunk trespassing their property. In reply to their questions, Chunk says the following:
Everything. Okay! I’ll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I played Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog. When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out. But the worst thing I ever done, I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaah and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
#3
This monologue is taken from the movie ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas‘ that was released in 2000.
Situation: Grinch, the antagonist of the film, who does not like to celebrate Christmas, is invited by the natives of Whoville city to be a part of festive celebration. The following monologue shows Grinch self-arguing on whether to attend the party.
The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there – on such short notice! Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn’t allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercise; 6:30, dinner with me – I can’t cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing… I’m booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. … But what would I wear?!
#4
The monologue is taken from the animated film ‘Alice in Wonderland’ that was released in 1951.
Situation: Alice is in wonderland and meets Mad Hatter and March Hare (the two fictitious characters in the film) enjoying a party. Upon asking the reason for celebration, Mad Hatter gives the following reply:
I shall elucidate. Now statistics prove, prove that you’ve one birthday. … Ahh, but there are three hundred and sixty four unbirthdays. … What a small this world is. … Now blow the candle out my dear and make your wish come true. … A very merry unbirthday to you!
On the whole, monologues for kids create a positive impact on the listener, only when they are supported by appropriate gestures and facial expression. Saying monologues with a poker face will not create any impact on the audience. No matter, how interesting the monologue is, if the facial expressions are not synchronized with what you are saying, don’t expect any appreciation from the audience. So, both parents and kids need to understand that facial movements are also very important to make the audition a success.
