A Seafarer's Tale Swashbuckle

# A band of naughty pirates Took some jewels from me

# I hid on board their pirate ship And sailed off out to sea

# But they weren't watching where they went

# And shipwrecked on the sand

# I want to win my treasure back Will you give me a hand?

-ALL:

-# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

Will you help me win my treasure back?

-Yeah!

-Shall we make the pirates walk the plank?

-Yeah!

Well, let's hear you then, me hearties!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

Ahoy there, me hearties. Welcome to Swashbuckle.

Arrr-harrr!

My name's Gem, and it's great to have you aboard.

Are you all ready for a rip-roaring parrot adventure?

Arrr-harrr!

Yes! And will you help me to win back my treasure

-from those very naughty pirates?

-Arrr-harrr!

Brilliant! Now, where is that pesky Captain Sinker?

-Can you see her anywhere?

-Boo!

There she is!

I haven't time for all this booing. I'm a very important pirate.

I have lots of work to do. Cook, Line!

Cook reporting for duty, Captain Sinker, sir. I mean, ma'am.

But I don't know where Line is today.

He's right there.

Is he? Where?

Line? Where are you? Where is he?

Behind you!

Aagh!

Line! What are you doing?

Got you! Hiding is so much fun.

You've got to be sneaky to be a great pirate.

Line, you are NOT a great pirate.

I am. I am the greatest pirate ever to sail the seven seas.

And I'm going to write a book about all my adventures.

-You two can help me.

-You can rely on us, Captain.

Isn't that right, Line?

Line? Line?

Where are you, Line?

I don't think I'd trust those two to READ a book, never mind write one.

OK, Squawk, it's time to meet today's Swashbucklers.

Who do I have helping me?

Playing today, we've got Nicholas!

Nicholas is seven

and loves collecting toy figures. He can collect jewels today.

His Swashbuckle name is Fearsome Nick.

Next, it's Dee. Dee is six and loves playing with her friends.

Perfect practice for the pirate games.

Her Swashbuckle name is Buccaneer Dee.

It's Tunay.

Tunay is seven years old and loves football.

So let's hope he scores a win.

His Swashbuckle name is Starboard Tunay.

Finally, it's Hiba.

Hiba is six years old, and loves her scooter,

so I'm sure she'll glide past those pirates.

Her Swashbuckle name is Commander Hiba.

CHEERING

Welcome aboard, Swashbucklers.

You're going to try and help me win back my jewels

from naughty Captain Sinker, so to make sure you are brave and true,

let's do the Swashbuckle salute. So, let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your heart.

-Here we go! Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

Pirate hat.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Fantastic. You are definitely ready for adventure. So, Squawk,

what do we have to do today

to win back all of my five jewels?

Squawk! You daring Swashbucklers need to work as a team

as you take part in different pirate games.

Every time you win a game,

Captain Sinker will give you a jewel for your treasure chest.

Win all five jewels

and one of the naughty parrots will walk the plank into the ship's mess.

ALL: Yay!

And here's our treasure chest.

Like Squawk just said, each time you win back one of my jewels,

we'll put it in the Swashbuckler treasure chest.

The jewels are mine, Gem.

If you don't win the game, you don't get the jewel.

Well, I think they're going to win the game, so bring it on, Sinker!

The first game is Stepping Stones.

Squawk! The aim of the game is to build the giant seahorse statue.

All you have to do is cross over the rock pool

and collect the pieces from the other side, but be careful.

Cook and Line will be blocking your path and trying to make you fall.

Here's the picture that you need to put together.

There are five pieces that you have to collect to build it up,

and they are on the other side of the stepping stones.

Watch out for Cook and Line hiding under those barrels there,

they may try to put you off.

And you have as long as it takes for

the octopus to reach out across the screen

and close the treasure chest to play the game.

Are you ready to play?

ALL: Arrr-harrr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

Off we go.

Cheer them on, team, they can do this.

Yes, Cook, throw more on him!

There's so many balls flying around.

They made it across, brilliant!

Two pieces across, team.

That's it, well done!

Nicholas, off you go. Four more to get over.

Wobble his stepping stone.

Oh, no, Tunay's in! Back to the other side.

Well done, Nicholas.

He's managed to stay up, just saved it,

well done, Nicholas.

He's not looking. Quick.

Ready, Hiba, off you go. Boys, well done!

Let's get these pieces on.

We've got two more pieces to collect. Well done, Dee.

Come back this way, Hiba.

That's it.

Come on, you guys, let's help them out.

Ready, Hiba, off you go.

We're halfway now.

Oh, no, Dee's in!

She's in!

We still need those two pieces over then we can build up the seahorse.

Oh, stop them!

Nice and carefully, Dee.

Brilliant!

Nicholas, we have them all!

No, you'll have to go all the way back.

Come on, let's cheer her on!

Keep going, Hiba, that's the last piece we need.

Come on, you can do it!

Bring it over, we need to build this very quickly.

We have about 20 seconds left.

That piece needs to go on.

Then we need the pieces with the fins.

Oh, are they going to do it?

Ten seconds left. We need to be really quick.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two...

And the top piece.

That was so close, but, Squawk,

you've got the bird's-eye view, how did we do?

Those rickety rocks really slowed them down.

Tunay wobbled then fell.

Dee wibbled then fell.

Hiba jiggled, then... You guessed it.

And the bell rang just before they could finish the statue,

so I'm afraid you lose.

CHEERING

Oh, Swashbucklers, you tried so hard. Well done.

We can win the jewels back later.

# I get to keep your jewel

# I get to keep your jewel. #

Enough, I need you to come up with some stories for my book.

And I want it to include the most exciting and adventurous times.

You could write about the time you

walked the plank into the ship's mess.

That was so funny.

Shh.

Shush!

We are not having stories about me walking the plank, thank you.

I know, Sinker,

you could write about my Swashbucklers winning back a jewel.

Squawk, what's next?

The second game is Tangled Net.

The aim of the game is to put the toy sea creatures in the baskets.

All you have to do is climb the tangled fishing net

and collect them.

But be careful - Cook and Line will pour pearls onto you

and swap the creatures around.

And these are the pictures of the soft toy sea creatures

that you need to find.

Octopus, lobster,

seahorse and fish.

There are six in total to find.

Hiba and Nicholas, you're going first.

Are you ready to play?

ALL: Arrr-harrr!

Swashbucklers away!

Here we go.

Hey, Swashbucklers!

Got to get the crab!

-Get the crab.

-No, no, no!

Oh, mind your head.

Oh, no, he's got the lobster.

Well done!

This one! Take this one! Quickly!

We've got two coming down.

That's it. Tunay, off you go.

Hiba, you're doing really well.

Squeeze down with that.

Don't give it to Cook. Well done.

-Give it to me.

-Dee, off you go.

Octopus on your head.

We've got two down. Fantastic, well done!

Oh, the pearls are coming down.

Get that lobster!

Good idea, right at the top here.

Here, come and get it.

That's it.

Well done, Tunay.

Dee, there's also a fish at the front here.

Brilliant, we've go the fish, yes!

Line, quick, swap them now.

Good!

Nicholas, over here, ready to go again.

You've got two more to find.

Come on, let's do this!

We're halfway, you've got another one to find up there.

There's a seahorse right at the front and there's also an octopus.

That's it, Nick.

Stretch out for the octopus.

Give it a big pull.

That's it, Hiba, excellent! Bring it straight down.

This is our last one.

Come on, we can do this.

Oh, I don't think she's going to make it down.

You're doing really well.

Come on, Hiba, we've got 30 seconds left.

Well done. Let's get it into the basket.

In the basket. That's it.

Yay, we've done it! Come on down, team.

Well done, team, that was fantastic.

Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view, over to you.

Oh, that cheeky Line.

The Swashbucklers grabbed and he swapped.

They plucked another and he did it again.

And again.

But his swapping couldn't stop those Swashbucklers because they won!

Well done, Swashbucklers,

you've won our first jewel, which means, Captain Sinker,

-you know the rule...

-ALL: Send down a jewel!

You can have the silly jewel,

I've got plenty left and you won't win them back.

CHEERING

Here it is, the blue one.

Hiba, pop it into the chest for us, please.

Well done!

Enough of this,

once you've heard the rip-roaring tales in my story,

you'll realise what an important pirate I am.

I'd better get Cook and Line to write it.

I suppose one jewel isn't the end of the world.

It's time we made a start on my b... Oh! Lovely cake.

Ah-ah, you can't have the cake until you've finished your book,

so you best get started.

I'll remember some of my daring adventures and you write them down.

CLEARS THROAT

So my story begins,

once upon a time there was a brave...

daring...

and very clever pirate.

She had many great adventures.

Such as the time when she...

Oh, how annoying.

I can't remember things I've done.

Not to worry, Captain,

I can remember some brilliant times we've had.

No, no, no, none of those are right.

No, Captain, not yet.

I'll hide it out of sight.

It's not fair.

My book shouldn't be about times I fell over and looked silly.

I agree, Captain.

Thank you, Line.

Yeah, I prefer the times where you were splatted,

they were way funnier.

What?

BOTH: One!

I knew I couldn't rely on you two.

I'm going to have to write the book myself.

Honestly, a famous pirate like me should never look silly.

SQUIDGE!

-Line?

-Yes.

Did you put the cake on the chair?

Yes.

Yes, I did.

You have played two games and won back one of my jewels.

You need to find four more in the final game.

To make sure we're ready, let's do the Swashbuckle salute.

Let me see you all marching.

Put your hand on your heart.

Here we go.

Eye patch.

ALL: Eye patch.

Pirate hat.

ALL: Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer.

ALL: Arrr-harrr!

Brilliant!

It's the Shipwreck Rummage.

The aim of the game is to collect the rest of Gem's jewels

that have been hidden around the shipwreck.

Use the map because X marks the spot

where each of the jewels can be found.

But be careful -

Cook, Line and Captain Sinker have hidden the jewels well

and they must all be in the chest before the time runs out.

CHEERING

It's time for the Shipwreck Rummage.

Here is the treasure map where all my jewels are hidden.

Up on the top deck is the purple jewel

hiding in one of the birds' nests.

Then we have the green jewel buried somewhere in the pool of pearls.

Also on the middle deck we have the red jewel hidden in the laundry.

And down on the lower deck we have the white one

hidden in one of the hammocks.

Boys, you're going first. Which one will you go for?

The purple.

Look out for Captain Sinker up there.

Team, are we ready to play?

ALL: Arrr-harrr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

That's it, boys. Come on, team, let's cheer them on.

Off they run all the way to the top deck.

They are fast.

Line can't slow them down.

Mind you don't slip.

They're nearly at the birds' nests.

-Don't pour them on me, Cook.

-Sorry.

They've got the first jewel already!

Come on back, there's three more to find.

Nicholas and Tunay are wasting no time getting back.

Careful, boys, you need to get back in one piece.

Girls, which one are you going for next?

The green.

Go through the middle and up through the cannon balls.

Off you go. Well done, boys!

The purple one into the chest. Well done.

The girls are now going for the green one in the pool of pearls.

The girls need to climb up to the middle deck.

Nearly there.

They're coming into the pool of pearls.

The tentacle is almost halfway already

and that green jewel could be anywhere amongst the pearls.

Dee is having a good rummage.

I can't see it anywhere.

Oh, there is it!

Time is ticking away.

And the girls are finding it hard to get out those pearls.

Boys, which one are you going for?

The red one?

Over by the laundry.

Ready and go!

Well done, girls, let's get it in the chest.

Well done. Yes!

The boys are off to the next jewel.

It's somewhere in the laundry.

Don't let them have my jewels.

I think Tunay knows where it is.

-They're going to find it, Captain.

-They've got it!

-They've got it!

You have to go for the last one, the white one.

It's down in the lower deck and it's in the hammocks.

As soon as the boys are back, off you go.

Ready... Off you go, girls.

Whoops, nearly had a bump there.

Let's get it into the chest.

Well done.

Come on, you're got less than 30 seconds left.

Time is running out

and they're making a right mess looking for that last jewel.

-15 seconds!

-Got it!

They've got it!

Oh, it's going to be close.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six...

Yay!

You did it!

That was fantastic, well done.

Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view, over to you.

Oh, Gem,

they stretched,

they dug,

they delved

and the nearly ran into each other.

But they did it! Not one,

not two, not three,

but four jewels were popped in the chest.

What a result, the Swashbucklers won!

CHEERING

Well done, Swashbucklers,

you won back all five of my jewels,

thank you so much.

I'd like to share out my treasure with you.

There you go, Dee.

And Nicholas.

And Hiba.

And Tunay.

And one for me.

Give my brave Swashbucklers a big cheer!

CHEERING

And now that we have all five of my jewels,

you know what that means -

it's time for one those naughty pirates to walk the plank.

But who will it be? Let's spin the wheel to see.

Off you go, Tunay.

That's it.

Will it be Cook with the white hat?

Line with the red bandana?

Or Captain Sinker with the black hat?

It's going to be...

the red bandana.

It's Line!

That means, Line, it's time for you to...

ALL: Walk the plank!

ALL CHANTING: Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank!

CHEERING

ALL: Urgh!

Line looks so yucky covered in slop,

the perfect way to end OUR story. See you next time on Swashbuckle!

CHEERING
