hey all!
navigations are the Os above!

Another major aspect of our lesson package was the literature aspect: namely our puppet show (which we constructed a stage for), and our puppet making lessons. Below is the script for our puppet show.

Characters:

- Prince John
- 3 puppet frogs
- Witch
- Prince John the Frog


The play begins with a backdrop showing a grand castle on the right with a pond located nearby on the left.

Narrator: Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away, there lived a prince named John.

(Puppet John moves in from stage right)

Narrator: Prince John lived in the castle here on the right.

(PJ moves to the castle)

Narrator: In the pond on the left lived the frogs.

(3 puppet frogs move in from stage right to the pond)

Narrator: Now, Prince John was not a nice person.

(PJ chases 1 puppet frog from stage left to right)

PJ: Haha! You can’t get away from me, little frog!

(PJ hits puppet frog into pond, puppet frog squeals)

(PJ throws rubbish into the pond. *Splat* PJ then walks back to castle)

Narrator: (addressing audience) Do you think PJ is a nice person?

(waits for response)

Narrator: Do you think that throwing rubbish into the pond is correct?

(waits for response)

Narrator: Prince John threw even more rubbish into the pond. (More rubbish keeps being thrown.) One day, a witch came to visit Prince John.

(Puppet witch appears from stage centre and moves stage left towards PJ)

Witch: Prince John, do you know what you have done?

PJ: No, and I don’t care.

Witch: (shaking head) I shall have to teach you a lesson.
(Witch waves around)

PJ: Nooooo…

(PJ pops down and PJF pops up in place)

Witch: You will stay as a frog and live in the pond for the rest of your life.

(Witch pops down with evil laughter)

Narrator: And so Prince John had to live in the pond with the other frogs.

(PJF moves from stage left to right towards pond)

The scene changes to a backdrop with sickly green water and the fish look ill. The plants in the water are withered and pieces of rubbish are floating about. PJF and three other frogs are standing in the stage centre.)

PJF: (Coughing) What happened to the pond? Why is it so dirty?

PF1: Don’t you know? All the rubbish you threw into the pond has made it dirty.

PJF: But-

PF2: Now the fish and frogs in the pond are dying because of the dirty water.

PJF: I’m… I am sorry.

Narrator: By now, Prince John the Frog was sorry for bullying the frogs and not taking care of the pond. So he went to see the witch.

(The scene changes back to the castle and pond. The witch and PJF appear in the centre stage.)

PJF: Dear Mrs. Witch, could you change me back into a human? I promise I will change my ways.

Witch: Well, okay, so long as you promise to help clean up the pond.

(Witch waves her wand, and PJF pops back down. PJ pops back up in the stage centre.)

PJ: Thank you!

Narrator: From then on, Prince John did his best to keep the pond clean. He stopped throwing rubbish into the pond, and the frogs were happy once again.

(PJ . The three puppet frogs are hopping around in the pond area.)

Frogs: Now that there is no more rubbish, the pond is clean again! Yay!

PJ and Narrator: Let’s sing a song!

(Wait for response.

Frogs start hopping in stage centre as song begins)

Together:

Throw your rubbish in the bin,
Keep your ponds and rivers clean,
Croak! Croak! Croak! Croak!
Let’s all be so clean and green!

THE END
