Risk and Danger Assembly

Risk and Danger Assembly. Perhaps the first thing I should point out is that this assembly poses absolutely zero risk to the general public! And I include the audience and cast in that statement!

A Cast of 30, duration around 10 – 15 minutes not including music suggestions:

1. Dangerous – Michael Jackson
2. Take a Chance – Abba
3. Superstition – Stevie Wonder
4. I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor
5. Oops I did it Again – Britney Spears

This script maintains an element of fun throughout what is quite a serious theme. The Narrator certainly thinks so, armed with Health & Safety Directive! But it also looks at the lives of some of our greatest heroes – and how they had to forsake ‘risk assessment’ (did they have that in Horatio Nelson’s day?!) in favour of sheer valour. Some great quotes – thank you Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Woody Allen, among others. Oh and of course the great Julius Caesar for providing some much-needed action!

(Just received following from lovely customer who asked me to write this script today)

I downloaded Risk and Danger Assembly from website. Love, love, love it thank you so much!

I highly recommend Sue’s Plays class assemblies. They are clever, witty and the children have so much fun performing them! Sue wrote a fabulous class assembly to meet my specific title and got it to me within one day. I was overwhelmed with Sue’s quick response and attention to detail. Thank you,Phil.

Feedback like this keeps me writing – HUGE thank you to Phil!

Risk and Danger Assembly Sample Text:

(Enter Richard the Lionheart, Horatio Nelson, Sir Thomas More, Mary Queen of Scots and Boadicea)

Narrator:                     Ah! Some more great heroes! Do introduce yourselves!

Richard the Lionheart:            Richard the Lionheart!

Horatio Nelson:                       Horatio Nelson!

Sir Thomas More:       Sir Thomas More!

Mary Queen of Scots: Mary Queen of Scots!

Boadicea:                    Boadicea!

Narrator:         And you all have statues of yourselves in London, am I right?

(All nod)

Richard the Lionheart:            But we didn’t all die comfortably in our beds!

Narrator:         (Sighing) I just knew I could hear a but coming!

Horatio Nelson:                       But don’t you see?

(Passes telescope from ‘bad’ eye to good)

Ah that’s better! What was I saying?

Sir Thomas More:       I think you were trying to say, none of us could have achieved what we did in our lifetimes, without taking some risks.

Narrator:                     (Aghast) Risks? You mean, you took more than one?

Mary Queen of Scots: (Impatiently) Of course we did! You can’t go through life all wrapped up in cotton wool

Boadicea:                    Even if it means you do come to a somewhat sticky end!

Narrator:                     Ooh! Not on this stage, please!

(Julius Caesar stumbles onto the stage, with ‘dagger in his chest’)

Julius Caesar:              Et tu, Brute!

(Julius Caesar collapses in a heap)

(Tumultuous applause from the whole cast)

Narrator:                     (Tutting) So much for ‘Famous last words’!

(Exit everyone except Narrator, moping his brow)

Narrator:                     Oh dear! And after all that risk assessment I did earlier today – and I still manage to get carnage on the stage!
