A funny video has emerged of a young child appearing to get bored while he's singing with other children during a Christmas play.

The footage, filmed last week in Minnesota, US shows one of the children getting distracted during the performance and wandering off the mini stage to play with the microphone at the front.

The filmer later wrote online: Sometimes this is the type of thing that makes a Christmas play most memorable when you have a child not paying attention and doing his own thing!

"Of course the parents are always embarrassed but everyone else enjoys it."

++CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: THE FOUR CHILDREN WITHOUT BLURRED FACES ARE THE FILMER'S++

Check out the child in the front row. He sure is distracted and not into participating in the play. Sometimes this is the type of thing that makes a Christmas play most memorable when you have a child not paying attention and doing his own thing! Of course the parents are always embarrassed but everyone else enjoys it.
