(Without music. Entrance to the maze is on stage, either Christmas trees or Christmas
boxes. MAZE MASTER enters with his clipboard and stuff, like a summer hat and
winter coat.)
KIDS ENTER (ad lib) : Look, look, there he is! Hey, Pastor Bryan! (Or any name)
MAZE MASTER: Not today . . . Pastor Bryan is not part of today's fun. Today
I'm not your friendly kids pastor, I'm your Maze Master!
KIDS: Maze Master?
KID: Okay, what's a Maze Master?
MM (clears his throat and then begins speaking in rhyme) :
Well, you don't even have a clue!
But just listen and I'll give them to you!
In fact, I'll even give you two.
One for you and . . . one for you. (He hands them each a "clue")
( KIDS interrupt him to start asking questions)
KID: Maze Master?
MM: Okay, here it is. For today, all of time, all of your questions have to rhyme.
GROUP: Huh?
MM: So, if you want me to hear you today, rhymes and more rhymes are what
you must say.
( KIDS looks around at each other)
PARKER: Oh, I get it. Like "I like your hat." You want us to say stuff like that.
MM: Exactly. That's how we'll do it. Look at this maze. That's how we'll get
through it.
SAVVY: What does that have to do with Christmas, Maze Master?
MM: Cause rhyming will help us get through this maze . . . (he waits for someone
to supply the word)
SAVVY (thinking) : Faster?
ALL KIDS: Yeah! She got it!
