Nursery Rhymes Assembly for Key Stage One

Nursery Rhymes Assembly is based on 10 nursery rhymes and, as explained in the production notes, can be seen as a template – adding or replacing rhymes as you see fit.

There is a longer assembly available (around 15 – 20 minutes) which has a choice of 20 nursery rhymes – this one is called Nursery Rhymes Assembly Extended Version – and this could be used by Key Stage II or used as a combined production, between both Key Stages – i.e. as a collaborative piece. Please note: the first half of this extended assembly uses the original 10 rhyme script i.e. just adds on.

Cast Size: 25 easily adjusted up or down. Duration: Around 5 – 10 minutes

Nursery Rhymes Assembly Sample Text:

Narrator:             What is that noise?

(Enter cat playing fiddle, followed by cow holding moon; dog; and dish holding a spoon)

(the Whole cast recites rhyme; characters acting out the lines)

Hey Diddle Diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away

With the spoon.

(Exit cat, cow, dog and dish)

(Everyone uncovers their ears)

Narrator:             Oh thank goodness for that. I mean, don’t get me wrong – we all like a little music … but not quite like that!

(Enter Little Miss Muffet)

(Whole cast recites rhyme; characters acting out the lines)

Little Miss Muffet

Sat on a tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey;

(Enter Spider)

There came a big spider,

Who sat down beside her

And frightened Miss Muffet away.

(Exit Little Miss Muffet and Spider)

Narrator:             (Cowering behind children) Has it gone? Is it safe to come out yet?

Whole cast:        (Sighing) Yes. The spider’s gone, Miss!

(Narrator returns to her former place)

Narrator:             Huh! Well, that’s fine then. (Pauses) Not that I was ever scared of that wee spider! Nah – just acting along with Miss Muffet there!

(Whole cast look at each other, shaking heads)

Narrator:             (Coughing) Any how! Moving on.

(Enter Old Mother Hubbard and her dog)

Narrator:             Ah! A dear old lady and her wee doggie.

(Whole cast recites rhyme; characters acting out the lines)

Old Mother Hubbard

She went to the cupboard

To fetch her poor dog a bone,

But when she got there,

The cupboard was bare,

And so the poor dog had none.

(Collective sympathetic sigh from the Cast)

Narrator:             Oh dear! Oh we can’t have that!

(Narrator rummages around in her handbag and comes up with a bone)

(Narrator holds up bone to dog which bounds over to Narrator in delight, barking happily, jumping up and down, and trying to lick her face)
