FADE IN:

 

Jade is sat on the bed in her room, playing on her phone while also watching tv with the latest news playing in the background.

JADE

(sadly)Sighs, “this is so lonely, why are we so indulged in social media”

TREVOR

Trevor shouting from the other room “Jade stop talking to yourself we are trying to watch this film”

JADE

Sighs again and continues her phone

 

 

The rest of the family are sat on the sofa all possessed by their phones, tv playing loud in the background even though none of them are watching it, or socialising with each other, jade bursts out of her bedroom door.

JADE

“Why are we not talking to each other, your all so distracted by your phones, why can’t we just spend some time together”

TREVOR

(whiney)“But we have all the time in the world why can’t I just stay on my phone.”

JEMMA

“Trevor she’s right, let’s all do something together!”

JAXON

“Board game!

                   Trevor

(sternly) “we are not playing a board game remember what happened last time”

 

 

Everyone is in the living room sat around a monopoly game everything seems fine but then jade goes bankrupt.

 

Jade

(angrily) “I flipping hate this game”

Trevor

“Jade stop it”

Jaxon

(sarcastically) “Yeah, stop it jade”

Now a slow-Mo on the monopoly pieces flying everywhere.

 

Back to the present where jade in still stood up towards the rest of the family in the living room

 

Jade

“I’ve found the best game and I swear we won’t have an issue”

Jemma

(exited) “Okay fine get it out then!”

Jade goes back into her room pulls out snakes and ladders, dramatically shows off the board game.

Family is playing the board game, laughter can be heard, and everyone is seen smiling and having fun.

 

 FADE OUT: SNAKES AND LADDERS ON A BLACK SCREEN WITH A PHOTO OF THE GAME.
