We are excited to announce that we have officially finished filming our movie! The students worked so hard on designing costumes and sets, learning lines and where to stand, and how to patiently wait while others delivered lines. That’s a lot to ask from 4 and 5 year olds, but they pulled it off with ease! Now, while we wait for our fabulous videographer Weird Eric edits and scores our movie, please enjoy the third draft of the play. This version was written on Feb. 17th and became the base story for our final draft. After rereading draft #2, the students had decided that they needed to write a new script that had one cohesive story line, rather than several separate stories. We also discussed how stories need to have a problem, so we decided to try thinking of a problem first and then creating a story around it. The result proved to be a pretty amusing, cohesive story!
Enjoy.

Problem: The bone keep eating everyone’s food and at the end of the day there isn’t any food left for anyone, even the bone.
Person keeps going into Campbell building
A running scene
Someone wants to wear the sock
Once upon a time the football (L.W.) wanted to play a game so he invites the soccer ball (Z.W.), and soccer ball invites the stinky sock (A.G.), and the football invites the triceratops (W.S.). They play the game for a long and time and then they decided to stop for a snack. Just then the bone (K.H.) comes in and eats all their food and then runs before anyone can see her.
They say, “Where’s our food!?!”
Soccer ball says, “I’m hungry.”
The sock says, “The only thing that is left is a potato.”
They try to share the potato but it’s not very big.
The football says, “I need more food, I’m still hungry.”
In the next house, the lamp (A.H.), a baseball (M.H.), a witch (S.S.), and the building (C.S.) all live together.
Everyone is having a dance party and the decided to stop and eat some food.
The building says, “Let’s stop and have some pancakes and cupcakes.”
The witch says, What!?! “There’s no food!”
The lamp starts to pace across the room and comes up with an idea!
The lamp says, “It’s a mystery! Who took our food?”
The baseball rolls out of the house and starts looking to see if he can solve the mystery.
He looks outside and notices that there is a trail of crumbs on the ground. He runs back inside and is breathing hard and he says, “There are pancake crumbs outside. Let’s get our magnifying glasses!”
So they all run outside and start to follow the pancake crumb trail.
Just then the phone rings.
It’s the soccer ball and he says, “Hey somebody ate our food!”
“Somebody ate our food too! We found a trail of crumbs. Want to come search with us?”
“Sure!”
“I don’t know where it leads to, but let’s go.”
The spell witch (N.P) lives all by herself. She sees the bone (K.H.) try to steal her food and she stops her and uses her wand to make her come closer. The bone tries to run away but the spell witch locks up her house so she can’t leave and then she locks up her food too so that the bone can’t get her food. The spell witch uses her spell to make the bone want to stay in her house forever.
The second group follows the trail of crumb to the spell witch’s house and the baseball says, “One of you ate our food. Was it the bone or the witch that did it.”
The spell with says, “It was the bone and she tried to eat my food too!”
The regular witch says, “AHA! I solved the mystery, it was the bone that took our food!”
The lamp says, “That wasn’t nice. Please don’t eat our food again!”
The bone says, “Ok, I’m sorry. I just didn’t have any food.”
The spell witch uses her magic wand to make a new house with a refrigerator for the bone to live in.
The spell witch unlocks the bone and then they all have the dance party.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End.
