Mm = Squishing face

Titanic Oh, they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue, and they

thought they had a ship that the water wouldn't go through,

but the good lord raised his hand, said "The ship would never

land". It was sad when the great ship went down, down,

down.

Refrain:

It was sad, so sad,

It was sad, too bad,

It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom of

the sea

Uncles and aunts little childern lost their parents, It was sad

when the great ship went down, down, down.

Oh the ship had just left England;

They were not far from the shore,

when the rich refused to associate with the poor,

so they sent them down below where they'd be the first to

go.

It was sad when the great ship went down, down, down.

Refrain

Lady Astor turned around just to see her husband drown, as

the ship Titanic made a gurgling sound. So she wrapped

herself in mink, as the ship began to sink. It was sad when the

great ship when down, down, down.

Refrain

Now the moral of the story is very plain to see, you should

wear a life preserver when you go out to sea. The Titanic

never made it and never more shall be. It was sad when the

great ship went down, down, down.

Kerplunk, it sunk to the bottom of the sea(hold sea for length

of normal refrain)

Throw it out the Window

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor doggy a bone. But when she got there the cupboard was bare, So she threw it out the window The window, the window, the second story window. High low, low high and threw it out the window.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and threw it out the window....

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey. Along came a spider and sat down beside her and she threw it out the window.... Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum And threw it out the window....

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow, and every where that Mary went, She threw it out the window....

Way up in the sky (jump high)

The little birds fly (flap arms)

While down in the nest (form nest with arms)

The little birds rest (hands next to head like napping)

Shhh! They're sleeping. (stage whisper shh! say quietly

they're sleeping)

With a wing on the left (fold left arm under)

And a wing on the right (fold right arm under)

The little birds sleep (hands next to head like napping)

All through the night.

Shhh! They're sleeping. (stage whisper shh! say quietly

they're sleeping)

The BRIGHT SUN COMES UP! (Yell it out and jump high with

arms above head)

The dew goes away (hands like banging on a keyboard)

Good morning, good morning, the little birds say (raise arms

up and down)

and squirm Oohh, bite their heads off, suck their juice out, throw their

skins away Nobody knows how a man can thrive on worms

SKITS JC Penny Enlarging Machine Deer Ears Banana Bandana Invisible Bench Important Papers Mosquitos in the sleeping bag Raisin Bran Required: 5 or more scouts. big dark-colored garbage bag for each. Preparation: all but one scout puts a garbage bag on like a coat - with a hole cut out for his head. Script: All scouts but one are Raisins and they come on stage and line up. They sing the Raisin Bran song. "We are the raisins that make the Raisin Bran so great." over and over and over ... Last scout walks onto stage with his fingertips together over his head so his arms make a big circle - he is the spoon. Raisins: Spoon! Aaaaaah! (and they all run around in a panic, but not too fast) The 'spoon' catches one raisin and takes him offstage. Raisins line up, settle down, and start their song again. Spoon reappears and takes another raisin. Repeat until only one raisin is left. He stands there sadly and sings: "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner ..." For added fun, have the 'spoon' enter the stage the 2nd or 3rd time with only one arm pointing straight up - he's a knife. :-) One Raisin yells - "Spoon!!!" Another yells - "Hey, its just a knife! I think he's after the jelly." and they all settle down while the knife walks across. Can do the same thing with both arms pointing up with elbows bent to the side slightly - a fork. :-) One Raisin yells - "Spoon!!!" Another yells - "Relax, that's a fork! The eggs are in

trouble now!" and they all settle down while the fork walks across.

Traveler from Afar Five “characters” played by two people who rotate around each other’s backs. Make sure to have five props or costume items to represent each role. Adlibbing encouraged. Traveler- “I’ve come from afar.” Guard- “Afar… I’ve never heard of it…” Traveler- “No, I’ve traveled from very far away.” Guard- “Oh, what do you want?” Traveler- “I’ve come for the princess’s hand!” Guard- “Her hand?!? That’s barbaric!” Traveler- “No, no, no. I’ve come to marry her!” Guard- “Oh, I’ll have to ask the queen. Hold on.” Traveler runs behind Guard and becomes Queen-conversation is repeated: Guard- “There’s a man at the door from afar.” Queen- “Afar… I’ve never heard of it…” Guard- “No, he’s traveled from very far away.” Queen- “Oh, well what does he want?” Guard- “He’s come for the princess’s hand.” Queen- “Her hand?!? That’s barbaric!” Guard- “No, no, no. He’s come to marry her!” Queen- “Oh, I’ll have to ask the king. Hold on.” Conversation repeats between King and Queen, when King goes to ask princess. King- “There’s a man at the door from afar.” Princess- “Afar… I’ve never heard of it…” King- “No, he’s traveled from very far away.” Princess- “Oh, well what does he want?” King- “He’s come for your hand.” Princess- “My hand?!? That’s barbaric!” King- “No, no, no. He’s come to marry you!” Princess- “Oh… nah.” Answer gets passed along back through all characters, and the traveler walks away dejected. Get crowd to start cheering for “faster, faster!” then keep it going, speeding up after each round. Western Gun Fighter Script: One scout is a quickdraw mechanical cowboy. He stands motionless at center stage, facing stage left, looking straight ahead. He always talks in a mechanical, monotone, but very western voice.

Cowboy: (to no one in particular) Howdy partner, wanna draw? (“Kid” walks to center stage) Cowboy: Howdy partner, wanna draw? Kid : Hey, what's this? Wow, a mechanical cowboy - cool! (pretends to read instructions) Let's see, 'Deposit 25 cents and see if you can outdraw Black Bart, the fastest gun in the West.' 'WARNING: slow draws may experience mild discomfort.' Kid : All right! I bet I can beat this old heap of scrapmetal. (takes quarter from his pocket and deposits it in mechanical cowboy's shirt pocket.) Cowboy: So, you want to be a real Western gun fighter, do you? First you need your hat, (hands him a hat) then you need your pistol (located at the gun fighters feet). Take ten paces, turn and Draw! (person bends down to pick up holster, but its stuck under the cowboy's foot) Kid : Hey, it's stuck! Cowboy: 1... 2... 3... Draw! BANG! (he shoots the bending over kid in the back who falls down and then jumps up, holding his backside.) Kid : OUCH! What a rip-off! I'll get him this time. (kid bends down and pries the holster from under the cowboy's foot and puts it on. He then inserts another quarter.) Cowboy: So, you want to be a real Western gun fighter, do you? First you need your hat, (hands him a hat) then you need your pistol (located at the gun fighters feet). Take ten paces, turn and Draw!! Kid : Ha! I'm way ahead of you! (He puts his hand on the gun, ready to draw.) Cowboy: 1... 2... 3... Draw! (On 'Draw', the scout tries to pull the gun out of the holster, but it is stuck. He frantically works on it.) Cowboy: BANG! (kid flies backward and then gets up rubbing his chest.) kid : DANG! That hurts! Well, now you're in for it! (kid works on the gun until he gets it out of the holster. He stands at the side of the mechanical cowboy, inserts a quarter, and holds his gun right up to cowboy's chest in anticipation.) Cowboy: So, you want to be a real Western gun fighter, do you? First you need your hat, (hands him a hat) then you need your pistol (located at the gun fighters feet). Take ten paces, turn and Draw!! kid : Yeah, that's right! Here we go! Cowboy: 1... 2... 3... 3... 3... 3...

(kid moves around to the front and hits cowboy on the shoulder to jar him back into operation.) Cowboy: Draw! BANG! (kid flies backward and then gets up rubbing his chest.) Kid : Man, that's gonna leave a mark! (kid stands behind the mechanical cowboy, inserts a quarter, and holds his gun right up to cowboy's head.) Cowboy: So, you want to be a real Western gun fighter, do you? First you need your hat, (hands him a hat) then you need your pistol (located at the gun fighters feet). Take ten paces, turn and Draw!! Kid : Boy, this is gonna be great! Cowboy: 1... 2... (He runs out of power on '2', and bends his head down and stops.) Kid : What!? No way! I don't believe it. What a waste of quarters. (He puts his gun in the holster, takes it off, and places it at the feet of the cowboy. As he turns and walks away, the cowboy comes back to life.) Cowboy: ... 3 Draw! BANG! (Kid jumps and yelps, holding his backside.)
