Retirement Skit and Senior Birthday Skit
Two humorous skits for a retirement party, or a "milestone" birthday celebration. One skit can be preformed by students and the other skit is meant for an "adult" party.
There are 4 characters in each script, but additional characters can be easily added.
I have used these scripts for teacher retirement gatherings, 60th birthday parties, and other events honoring a senior citizen. The skit is always well received!
