Policeman Let's Play

# Let's play!

# Let's play!

# Let's have an adventure, hurrah!

# Who could we be today?

# What could we do?

# I'd like to drive a racing car

# Or fly to the moon

# I could be a firefighter, a farmer or a vet

# A knight in shining armour

# Or I could be a chef!

# Let's play!

# Let's play!

# Let's have an adventure today

# Let's play! #

Sid! Sid?

Where is he? We are meant to be playing this board game but...? Sid?

Yes?

-Oh, Sid!

-Sorry. I was looking for the dice.

-You scared me.

-Sorry. I thought they were under the table.

They must have rolled somewhere.

-We need them for the game.

-Yes, that's why I am looking.

-Hurry up, because I really want...

-Hold on, Rebecca. It's time!

-Great!

-It's time to play!

-Whose turn is it today?

-Let it be me!

-Let it be me!

-Me!

-Me!

# Let it be me! Let it be me!

-# Let it be me!

-Let it be me!

# Let it be me!

# Let it be me!

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me!

# Let, let, let, let... Let it be me!

# Let it be me! Let it be me!

# I really, really, really, really hope that it's me!

# Could it be me?

# Could it be me? #

It's me!

# Yes, it's me! Yes, it's me!

# I'm really, really, really, really happy it's me! #

Look, there is the dressing-up room!

# Let's play! #

So, what are we going to play?

Let's find out.

A clown outfit,

cowboy boots and a chef's hat?

I don't think so! Let's try again.

Now, this makes much more sense.

We have a police officer's hat, uniform and boots.

So, what do you think we are playing today?

Of course! We are playing police officers, who help people in need.

So, what do we need to know?

Police officers keep you and your neighbourhood safe.

If you have a problem, a police officer can help you.

Police officers make sure people follow the law.

In order to help them do this,

most police officers carry a notebook to write in.

Police officers also help to solve crime and control traffic.

They talk to each other on a special kind of walkie-talkie

used only by the police.

And police officers have a number that is displayed on their uniform.

OK, so that's what we need to remember.

Do we need anything else?

Oh, I wonder what this is for?

A flashing light.

I guess it will come in handy.

OK, we have everything we need, let's go.

# Let's play! #

Right - dice, dice, dice.

I am sure there are some in here somewhere.

REBECCA MIMICS A SIREN

Hey, Sid, can you guess what I am?

Ever so slightly annoying?

No! I'm a police officer!

-Oh, brilliant! Nice uniform.

-Oh, thanks.

I hope I get to go in a police car.

Yes, so do I, because you can make those noises with your mouth.

I'm looking for the dice.

I think there are some in this cupboard somewhere.

-I'll keep looking while you're away.

-Great, thanks.

-Wish me luck!

-Good luck, Officer Rebecca.

Neenaw! Neenaw!

# Let's play! #

Come on, then. Let's play police officers.

Ooh!

Whee!

# Let's play! #

So, where are we? Well, it looks like a town.

Well, I am a police officer, so all I need now is someone to help.

Oh, no! Oh, no! I have lost my cat.

Well, that didn't take long! Can I help?

Yes, I have lost my cat.

Oh, dear. Well, I am a police officer

but we don't usually go looking for cats.

I'll help you out this time. OK, what's the name?

-Stephen.

-No, what's the cat's name?

-Tiddles.

Right. And what does she look like?

Ginger, white feet and a bell around her neck.

OK, ginger, white feet, bell round the neck. Got it!

Oh, already! That was quick, thank you.

I missed you, Tiddles. Where is she?

No, I haven't found her, but I have a good idea.

-What's that?

-I'll find her by listening out for her bell.

When she runs, the bell will make a noise and we'll follow.

Oh, OK. I guess you know what you are doing.

-Leave it to me. I'll find Toddles.

-Tiddles.

-Yes, sir.

Tiddles. What colour was she again?

-Ginger.

-Ginger.

A bell round the neck and...

How am I going to remember all of this? What am I going to?

Oh! Hold on! I remember, do you?

Police officers carry a notebook with them. That's it.

I'll use my notebook.

Right, so, Tiddles, ginger,

white feet, bell round the neck.

No problem, sir. I'll have Tiddles back to you in no time.

Oh, OK. That's great.

-No worries. Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

# Let's play! #

Hello, hello, hello, what's all this, then?

Ginger, white feet, bell round its neck.

-Oh! Hello.

-You must be in the police too.

-Well spotted.

-You pick these things up. Years in the business.

So, what are you doing?

Well, I'm looking for a cat which goes by the name of...Tiddles.

-Well, I'll help you. We'll patrol the beat together.

-Oh, great!

Come on, then.

-So, what's your name, then?

-Rebecca. And yours?

Bill. PC Bill. My father was in the police force too.

His name was also Bill.

Down in the station they call me young Bill.

BELL TINKLES

-What is that?

-What is what?

-That? That sound?

-It sounds like a ringing bell.

-BOTH: Tiddles!

-It came from somewhere in here!

-Right, split up and look for her.

-OK, you go this way and I'll go that way.

-Right.

-Oh, sorry!

BELL RINGS

Hold on, I can hear it. The bell! Tiddles's bell!

It came from over there.

Tiddles?

Oh! Oh, it's you! I just heard your cat's bell.

Oh, no. I think that was me on my bell.

Oh, dear. Just when I thought we had found her.

BELL TINKLES

-How did you do that?

-Do what?

-Ring your bell without touching it?

-I didn't.

BELL TINKLES BOTH: Tiddles!

-It came from in the bushes.

-Yes.

-I'll get her.

-Do you want me to come too?

-Leave it to me. This is police work.

-I'm going in.

-Hold on!

It looks a bit dark in there.

-Here, borrow my torch.

-Oh, right, thanks.

-Good luck!

-Thank you.

Come on, Tiddles. Where are you?

Tiddles?

I can't see a thing in here.

Oh, of course, I can use this torch!

Oh! I think I can see her. Tiddles, is that you?

BELL TINKLES

Ginger, white feet, bell.

Meows like a cat. That's her, all right.

OK, Tiddles. Don't be scared.

I am just going to lean down and pick you up.

CAT YELPS

Well, that is one way of getting a cat out.

I think she ran off over there.

Ooh! What did I land on?

Hmm, a bone. A very big bone.

OK, let's find that cat. Tiddles!

Pss! Pss! Pss! Pss!

-Well, that was interesting.

-You found Tiddles.

-Oh, no, it's just an old bone thing.

-No, look!

Tiddles! She must have run out and seen you.

-Well, I'm glad we could be of help.

-Thank you very much.

-No problem. Here's your torch.

-No, you keep it.

You never know when it might be handy. Thanks.

Come on, Tiddles. See you.

OK, thanks. Bye.

Right, now I need to report back to my fellow officer.

But where is he? Oh, no. Looks like I have lost Bill as well now.

And he hasn't got a bell around his neck. How are we going to find him?

Oh! Hold on! I remember, do you?

Police officers talk to each other

using a special walkie-talkie used only by the police.

Ha! I'll call him on this.

PC Bill? PC Bill? Rebecca calling.

Hello, Rebecca, is everything OK? Over.

-Yes, we have found the missing cat. Over.

-Great.

-Anything else to report? Over.

-Yes. This interesting bone.

-Where are you? Over.

-I am at the gate again. Over.

OK. I'll be right over. Over.

OK. Over and out.

Right, then. Let's go and meet PC Bill.

See what he thinks of this bone.

Ah! There you are. Well done for finding that cat.

Oh, thanks. I found this too.

-Oh! You know what this is?!

-Yes, it's an old bone.

This isn't just any old bone, this is a dinosaur bone.

A dinosaur bone? I thought they died out years ago.

They have! This went missing from the town museum a long time ago.

I've been on the lookout for it.

Everyone has been on the lookout and you found it.

-We'd better get it back to the museum.

-Yes, right.

Thing is, the museum is a long way away, the other side of town.

Miles away, and it shuts in... Oh! Half an hour!

-Um, I know. We'll call for help.

-Brilliant!

PC Rebecca calling. Could you send a police traffic car over?

'Hello, PC Rebecca. What is your police officer number

-'and your location? Over.'

-Police officer number?

I have no idea what he's talking about.

Oh, hold on, I remember. Do you?

All police officers have a number clearly displayed on their uniform.

So, where is mine, then?

Oh, here it is, look.

On my shoulder. My police officer number is PC 412.

And we are at the entrance to the park, over.

'Wilco. A car will come straight over. Keep a lookout. Over and out.'

They're going to send a car right away.

Oh, that is what I call right away.

Great! I get to ride in a police car.

And I'll finish my beat. Well, PC Rebecca, it's been a pleasure.

-Let's hope we do it again sometime.

-You too.

-Thanks very much and enjoy your walk.

-OK.

BOTH LAUGH

-No, seriously.

-See you.

See you.

Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm PC Rebecca.

Nice to meet you. My name is Bobby.

A policeman called Bobby, eh? Who would have thought?

-Right. To the museum, please.

-Um...aren't we forgetting something?

Are we?

-Your seat belt.

-Yes. Right, of course! My seat belt.

There we go.

Right, all in. Let's go.

-Excuse me?

-Eh?

-Your seat belt.

-Oh!

BOTH CHUCKLE

Let's go, then.

So, why do you want to go to the museum?

-I found the missing dinosaur bone.

-Oh, very good.

We've been looking for ages. How did you find it?

-I sat on it.

-That's one way! Well, we'll be there very soon.

Uh-oh, hold on.

-Eh?

-We have a situation.

-Where?

-Melons on the road.

-Oh!

That man has tipped his cart over.

Melons all over the road!

Yes, and it's a danger to other road users.

-We need to warn them about the hazard.

-How do we do that?

We need to alert the other drivers to slow down

-by the use of some sort of beacon or lamp.

-Lamp? Oh, hold on!

We can use this flashing light I was given.

I knew it would come in handy.

Good! Great idea, Rebecca.

Stopped on High Street. Situation developing.

Man at side of road with barrow. Highway covered in melons.

No support needed. We can handle this one.

Right, let's go.

BOING!

BOTH: Oh!

My melons! Oh, no, my melons!

Don't worry, sir. We'll deal with it.

We'll use this light to warn drivers to slow down.

OK, I'll do that, if you don't mind sorting out the melons.

Thank you. Slow down, please. Slow down.

We'll have the traffic moving shortly. Slow down.

You, sir, excuse me.

Right, sir, if you give me a hand

we should have this cleared up in no time. Ready?

-Ready.

-Right, let's go.

-Job done. See, I said it wouldn't take long.

-How can I ever thank you?

-Oh, please, have a melon.

-Oh, you are all right, thanks.

-I've had enough of melons for one day.

-Well, thank you very much.

-Goodbye.

-Bye!

What a nice police officer.

Melons back in barrow. Road reopened. Time is 1600 hours.

Set to proceed to the museum. Over and out. Good work, PC Rebecca.

-Thank you.

-Right, let's get this bone to the museum. Seat belt?

-You have got it!

-Oh, you have too.

BOTH LAUGH

-OK, PC Bobby, let's get this bone back to its proper owner.

-Right.

# Let's play! #

Well, this is the museum.

Now I just need to find the dinosaur with the missing bone. Ah!

That might be it. Let's go and see if it has got a bone missing.

-Hello. Excuse me? Can I see the dinosaur, please?

-No, sorry.

-Not allowed.

-Oh, but I...

Sorry, I am under strict instructions not to allow

-anyone anywhere near that dinosaur.

-Oh, but I found the...

We have had one bone go missing, we do not want to lose another.

But I... I only want to...

-No.

-But you see...

-Absolutely not.

-But I've found the missing bone!

-I'm sorry... Eh? What did you say?

I've found the missing dinosaur bone. I found it under a bush.

Well, why didn't you say? Oh! Oh, my!

That's the dinosaur bone.

Look! That's where it's meant to fit.

Blow me! This is excellent news.

We can put the bone on the skeleton again.

The dinosaur is whole once more. Thank you very much!

-You have done very well.

-No problem at all.

-I must go and tell my boss.

-So, did you return the bone?

-Yes, and he was very pleased.

PC Rebecca, you've been an excellent police officer.

Oh, thank you. But we would never have done it

without remembering everything we needed to know.

If you have a problem, a police officer can help.

Most police officers carry a notebook to write things in.

Police officers talk to each other on a special kind of walkie-talkie.

And they all have a number on their uniform.

I think it's time we went home.

I've had a lovely time and thanks for driving me in your police car.

Not at all. You've been a great help.

-We need more officers like you.

-Thanks, PC Bobby.

-OK, bye-bye. You take care now.

-Bye-bye.

# Let's play! #

-Hey, Sid.

-Hello, Rebecca.

Or should I say PC Rebecca? How did you get on?

Oh, it was great. We helped loads of people.

-Did you find the dice?

-No. I think it's in this cupboard.

-I can't really see. It is a bit too dark.

-Let me help.

-Look, I have a torch.

-Oh, great!

-Yes, just under there.

-There it is, right in the back.

-Yes!

Ah, brilliant! Now we can set up the game.

Playing police officers was great fun. What do you like to play?

# Let's play! #

I love playing wolves.

HE HOWLS

Playing divers is great fun. This is how I swim.

I love to play ballerinas and spin around like this.

-It's fun to play. Start playing today.

-Go to:

See you soon!
