Our children monologues are organized by age range and gender so you can find what you need right away. You'll find a selection of dramatic monologues for kids and comedic monologues. Each kid monologue comes with a short description and excerpt so you can pick only what's right for your child.

If you just can't choose or need more than one child monologue, you can also get our children monologue e-book: 33 KIDS MONOLOGUES, which includes all the monologues here plus 15 more. With 33 monologues to choose from, you can't go wrong.

All the monologues are 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes long, which is all a kid needs for a practice or audition monologue.

Enjoy these kids monologues and please, share your reviews and success stories. You can also see reviews by others at the bottom of this page!

Note: Monologue ages are based on age range, not the actual age of your child, so pick a monologue for your kid according the types of characters they would play and their maturity level.

4 year old kids are not really required to have a kid monologue ready, but older children who "play younger" may be asked for a younger monologue, so here's a selection of monologues for young kids and preschoolers.
