HUNT
- All Sounds
Divide
the group into eight smaller groups and assign each group one of the words
listed above. Read
the story.
After each of the words is read pause for the group to make the appropriate
response.
Once upon
a time, there was a PILGRIM __ who decided to go out to HUNT __ for a TURKEY
__
for his
Thanksgiving dinner. As he walked along through the forest, all of a sudden
he met a DUCK
__ He
said, "Have you seen the TURKEY __? I'm on a big HUNT __ for him." "No",
said the DUCK
__ with
a sly wink. So the PILGRIM __ marched along till all of a sudden he spied
a SQUIRREL __
playing
in the tree tops. "Good day, SQUIRREL __, said the PILGRIM __. 'Have you
seen the
TURKEY
__? I'm on a big HUNT __ for him." "No, no," said the SQUIRREL __, smiling
behind his
paw.
As the PILGRIM __ crossed the brook, he bent down from the bridge when
he saw a FISH __
swimming
near the surface. "Oh, FISH __," said he, "has the TURKEY __ been down
to the water
for a
drink today?" "No, not for a long time," said the FISH __, diving deep
to hide his laughter.
The poor
PILGRIM __ continued down the shady path and suddenly came face to race
with a big,
brown
BEAR __. "Hello, B-BEAR __," he said, "H-Have you s-seen the TURKEY __?
I'm on a big
HUNT
__ for Him." "No" said the BEAR __, "I don't even know what a TURKEY __
Is, but he
gave
a rumbling laugh. The PILGRIM __ was feeling quite depressed by now, for
he thought that he
would
never find the TURKEY __. Finally, he saw a BEE __ buzzing by, "Stop a
minute, BEE __,"
he said.
"You fly just about everywhere, Is the TURKEY __ near? I'm on a big HUNT
__ for him."
"No,"
buzzed the BEE __, "nowhere around here," and he flew away, buzzing hard
to hide his
chuckles.
Soon the PILGRIM __ saw ahead of him a clump of bushes and small trees.
As he neared
it, there
suddenly rang out or them the most deafening noise you ever heard. It was
the most
ferocious
growl of the BEAR __, the loudest buzz of the BEE __, the biggest bubbles
of the FISH
__, deepest
gobble of the TURKEY __. Mr. TURKEY __ had hidden himself In the midst
or the
thicket,
and all or his animal friends had gathered together to try to scare the
PILGRIM __ out of
his boots
and away from the TURKEY __. But the joke was on him, for guess what? All
the
PILGRIM
__ had wanted to do was Invite the TURKEY __ to help him eat his bountiful
harvest -
Thanksgiving
Dinner! As the poor misunderstood PILGRIM __ let our a very loud yell and
took off
for home,
all heard him exclaim as he went out of sight, "That's the last HUNT __
I'll go on, so good
night,
good night!".
THE
FISHERMAN
Props needed: one chair, one fishing pole, green garbage bag half filled with crumpled paper.
The Scene set-up: Leader sits on chair, holding pole, making like he is fishing. Another leader announces that the scene takes place on a frozen lake. The sitting leader is obviously a successful fisherman, because look at all of the fish that he has in his garbage bag.
First Leader: (Walks on) Wow! Look at all of the fish! What's your secret? Etc., etc...
Fisherman mumbles a reply but doesn't open mouth... first leader says can't understand reply... while first leader is trying to get fisherman to say something, second leader walks on, and goes through the 'Wow... What's your secret?' routine.... Fisherman mumbles a reply, but still doesn't open mouth. Continue this until all of the leaders are on stage, with all leaders commenting on 'What's your secret?'.... Once all of the leaders are on stage, everyone starts to get angry at fisherman for not replying in a way that they can understand.., etc., etc.
Finally, fisherman cups hands under his mouth, and goes 'Patooee', and says something like: 'Well, the secret to my success is that you have to keep the worms warm!'.
Grossed the cubs out, but this skit has been done at every campfire since then.
