Description

Seaside Assembly – based on Unit 4 Geography: Going to the Seaside and *Unit 3 History: What were seaside holidays like in the past?

This assembly takes us from the classroom, onto the coach, to the seaside – and back again! Granny and Grandpa Brown provide us with some insights into ‘trips to the seaside in their time’. And there is the usual smattering of great songs … and extremely bad jokes!

If you’re planning a trip to the seaside, jump on board this one for some useful tips!

*As I have combined two units, this script is a little longer than the original one I wrote. If this one proves too long, I am happy to provide the shorter original one FREE

Cast of 30: Teacher, Class plus ‘helpers’ – in case of Grandpa Brown, not entirely clear who is helping who!

Duration: Around 15 – 20 minutes including music suggestions.

Sample Text:

Child 17 (boy):    Sharks!

(Some of the girls start screaming)

Teacher:              Stop! Enough, boys! (To girls) They’re just teasing! Nothing for you to worry about! And you won’t be going anywhere near the sea anyway. Why is that?

Child 18:              Coz it’s too cold, this time of year, Sir?

Child 19:              Coz you forgot your swimming trunks, Sir?

Teacher:              (Impatiently) No, no. Nothing like that! Think ‘safety’, children!

Child 20:              There could be nasty strong currents, sir!

Grandpa Brown:               Currants? Mmm! And raisins? Oh, yes please. I am feeling a little peckish!

Teacher:              (Clutching head in exasperation) No, currents as in moving water!

(To Child 20) You’re right! We have to be careful not to go in the water

Child 21:              Because of sharks?

(Girls start screaming again)
