FLY

CAST:
Several people passing by.
SCENE:
A public place with a table or bench.

ACTION:
Someone is reading a bench. A fly begins buzzing around and it is eventually swatted
and left lying on the table top. A passer-by comes along, sees the dead fly and fools with
it, pulling off the wings.
Each passer-by should talk about what he/she is doing so the audience knows.
Next person comes by and pulls feet off the fly. [Up to six people can do this.] Second-
last person comes by and pulls off the head.

ENDING:
A last passer-by comes along, sees the footless, wingless, headless body of the fly and
exclaims, Oh, goody! A RAISIN! and pops it into the mouth.
TOOTHBRUSHERS

CAST:
As many tooth brushing kids as you like.

ACTION:
A row of kids are getting ready to brush their teeth. They have only one cup of water to
use. The first brusher pours water into the cup. The cup must be opaque so the
audience can only see water being poured IN to it. The first brusher pretends to brush
her teeth with the water, then gargles and pretends to spit back into the cup. Actually,
she swallows the water; but the audience must not know that the cup is now empty. She
hands the cup to the second brusher who pretends to brush and gargle with the same
water then spit it back into the cup. Pass this action down the line of tooth brushers. It
gets more gross as it goes.

ENDING:
Last person in line has been holding a mouthful of water during the entire skit. Be sure
this person can keep a straight face for the duration. After pretending to brush, she
actually spits her mouthful of water into the cup. This time, hold the cup far enough away
from the mouth to make sure the audience sees that a mouthful of water really is being
spat into the cup. If done properly, this should gross them out.

EMPTY HEADS

CAST: Many empty-headed participants, announcer.

SCENE: All stand in line. There is an empty opaque glass by the first and last persons.
Last person must get a mouthful of water beforehand and hold it with a straight face for
duration.

ACTION:
Announcer explains that these remarkable people all have empty heads. To
demonstrate, the first person in line takes a huge drink of water from the glass. His
cheeks bulge out with water. He then empties this out by spitting it all into the ear of the
next person in line. Actually, it is all air. As the water enters the second persons ear,
their cheeks balloon out as if they are filling with water. This process passes down the
line until it reaches the last person.

ENDING:
Last person in line receives the water in the ear, puffs out cheeks, and spits the real
water into a glass.

NOTE: This skit will require practice beforehand so everyone can make it look real.










ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
These skits are all included in this compilation because I would like to share the
enjoyment as widely as possible. They have been collected, organised and adapted
from my experience with youth organisations including schools, scouts, churches and
music camps.
As is often the case with songs and stories that belong in folklore, it is impossible to
trace authors of items in the form they have come to me. Some have been in several
publications from organisations including the NSW Dept. of Sport & Recreation, Scouts
Australia, the Y.M.C.A. and in more recent years in the internet. If you are concerned
about a possible copyright infringement then please let me know so that due recognition
can be given.
My thanks go to all the teachers, leaders and [most of all] children whose creativity has
been reproduced here, or inspired me to create several of the skits. I hope to continually
update the collection, so contributions are welcome!
