Body Parts in Spanish (Doctor/Patient Skit)

Thank you to The Insane Scouter for great skit ideas page! We will be acting out the Doctor/Patient skit with our 8-11 year old Spanish students. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

This should be done with a small group of students. There are five in this particular class…..perfecto!

Below is the modified skit I created using the vocabulary and expressions we are learning in class. The benefit of this skit is that if a student is absent, it won't complete disrupt the entire performance.


Doctor / Patient Skit

First patient comes in dragging his leg and asks to see the doctor. The second patient comes in with a crazy moving mouth, with a silly look on his face. The third person has uncontrollable hiccups.   They are all asked to sit down. The first person is asked to go in. There is a real commotion and the patient comes out fine. The same thing happens to the second and third patients. The nurse tells the doctor it is time to go home. The doctor emerges with the symptoms of all his patients and goes offstage.

Doctor and Nurse are looking at a chart together (clipboard). Patient A enters.

Patient A: (Walks in dragging a leg).  Hola, Doctor. Tengo un problema. Me duele la pierna y no puedo caminar.

Nurse and Doctor walk over and look at his leg.

Doctor: A ver…..oh, sí. Siéntese aquí, por favor. 
Patient sits and dramatically holds leg.

Patient dramatically drags himself and his leg to a waiting area.

Patient B:  (enters making crazy movements with his mouth).  Hola, Doctor. Tengo un problema. Me duele la boca y no puedo comer.

Doctor: A ver…..oh, sí. Siéntese aquí, por favor.
Patient sits and continues to make crazy mouth movements.  

Patient C: (Walks in hiccupping dramatically).  Hola, Doctor. Tengo un problema. Tengo hipo hace dos días.

Doctor: A ver…..oh, sí. Siéntese aquí, por favor.
Patient sits and continues to hiccup.

Patient D: (Walks in holding his head).  Hola, Doctor. Tengo un problema. Me duele la cabeza y no puedo dormir.

Doctor: A ver…..oh, sí. Siéntese aquí, por favor.
Patient sits and colds head down.

Nurse comes out and calls Patient A.
Nurse:  Señor…….Venga, por favor.
Both walk behind partition.  There is a real commotion and the patient comes out fine. The same thing happens to the second and third patients. The nurse tells the doctor it is time to go home. The doctor emerges with the symptoms of all his patients and goes offstage.
