THANKSGIVING SKIT

NARRATOR: Once upon a time, long ago, Puritan men, Puritan women, and Puritan ministers came to America. They had a very hard winter. Luckily, Indian men and Indian women showed them how to plant corn— ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!” NARRATOR: --and to hunt for turkeys. So, at harvest time, the Puritan ministers said, “Let’s have a Thanksgiving dinner!” ALL: “Yum, yum, yum!” NARRATOR: The Puritan men and the Indian men went out to hunt turkeys. The Puritan women and the Indian women gathered in the corn. ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!” NARRATOR: The Puritan men and the Indian men hunted for many days. They shot deer and rabbits, but they couldn’t find any turkeys. “What are we going to do?” said the Indian men and the Puritan men. “We need turkeys for our Thanksgiving dinner.” ALL: “Yum, yum, yum!” NARRATOR: Meanwhile, the Puritan women and the Indian women were bringing home the corn. ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!”

THANKSGIVING SKIT (cont.)

NARRATOR: Their baskets were so full that some of the corn— ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!” NARRATOR: --fell out onto the ground. Now, hiding near the path were all the turkeys. They liked corn---

ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!” NARRATOR: --so they followed the Puritan women and the Indian women. When the women got home, they met the Puritan ministers. They said, “We’d better go back and pick up that corn.” ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!” NARRATOR: Just then, the hunters were coming home. “Look at all those turkeys eating the corn!” ALL: “Pop, pop, pop!” NARRATOR: The Puritan men and the Indian men and the Puritan women and the Indian women and the Puritan ministers said, “Look! Lots of turkeys!” They all said, “Just in time for our first Thanksgiving dinner!” ALL: “Yum, yum, yum!”
