Pantomime Scripts

Pantomimes are fun but can be a bit overpowering for some children who don't really understand the concept of joining in and booing.

A great way to introduce children to pantomimes is to put on one of these shows. They're written for only 2 adults, one female, one male, so are ideal for mum and dad. They last approx 20 mins depending on how much the children join in.

The props needed are minimal as are the costumes but the whole concept of the children joining in and having fun is there.

These pantomime scripts are also great for schools or playschools to use as an end of term treat.

These pantomime scripts are writtten by my daughter and her business partner who perform them every week at children's parties. You can find out more about them here, www.abctheemers.com.

The first pantomime script we have for sale is the Pirate pantomime script.

The children usually sit in a circle on the floor in front of Steph and Doug.

The pirate script needs a sword and shield for a child to use (it's good to get a child to come up and help out doe a few minutes) plus a ships steering wheel (plastic ones are available from party shops), a toy parrot, a map and a pirates chest.

All of the pantomime scripts involve the children making a lot of different noises and these sounds are explained at the beginning of each show. The words are underlined when the sound is needed.

Children in the South of England love the Pirate story (especially since all the boys now want to be Captain Jack Sparrow) so we hope that children all over the world get as much fun out of it.

The pirate show was written by Steph Bates.

A sample of the pantomime script is below.

Bea - Hello everyone. Now before we go any further we need to make sure you can all shout loud enough to help us with our story. Can you all shout loudly?
Children shout
No sorry, I can't hear you, can you all shout loudly?

Children shout again.

Captain- That's rubbish! I said 'can you all shout loudly?' Children shout again That's better, now we need to teach you the sound effects for our story.

Bea - The first one. Whenever you hear us say the word 'running', you need to put your hands on your knees and pat them up and down to make a noise. Ready? - 'Running'. Very good.
The next one is really easy. When we say 'suddenly' can you put your arms in the air and wave them about while making a silly noise?

Captain - I'll do the last one. When I say 'a-hoy' put your fist in the air like this (Puts fist in the air) and shout 'a-hoy' after me.

Bea - Okay, Captain, let's have a practise. We'll start off really slowly and get faster and faster to see if you can keep up. Ready...

Captain - Running, Suddenly, A-hoy (practise about 5 times)

Bea - Very good, give yourselves a big clap. On with the story.

Captain - Let me tell you all about me. I'm Captain Shivermefingers (children wave fingers) and I'm the bravest and most handsome pirate you'll ever meet.

Bea - Oh no you're not (get children to join in).
