Weather or Not 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?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Shall I make the pirates walk the plank?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Let's hear you, then, my 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!

-ALL:

-Arrr-harrr!

CHEERING

Ahoy there, my hearties. Welcome to Swashbuckle!

-ALL:

-Aharrggghhh!

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

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

-ALL:

-Aharrggghhh!

And will you help me win back my jewels from those naughty pirates?

-ALL:

-Aharrggghhh!

-Brilliant!

Where is Captain Sinker - can you see her?

-ALL:

-There! Boooo!

-Ooh! There she is!

Ugh. Even your boos won't bother me on such a beautiful,

sunny d...a-ay!

Ooh! It's a snow monster and a...walking clotheshorse?

Er! I knitted this myself.

Cook! Line!

BOTH: Yes, Captain Sinker, Sir! I mean, Ma'am.

SHE SIGHS

Why are you dressed like it's a cold winter's day?

Because Cook is going to make it a cold winter's day!

He can control the weather!

To control the weather, you'd need to find

the ancient pirate weather wheel...

What is that?

The ancient pirate weather wheel!

We found it buried in the sand!

They say, ancient pirates used to use it to make ships

crash on the rocks, before plundering their gold.

That was a made-up story.

Why do you want to change the weather, anyway?

Because I want to make a snowma-aa-n!

SHE SIGHS

You've as much chance of making it snow

as the sploshmucklers have of winning a jewel.

You'd better wrap up warm then -

my Swashbucklers are ready for anything!

Squawk, let's meet them.

Playing today, we've got...

-Andrew.

-CHEERING

Andrew is seven, and likes horse riding.

Let's hope he gallops to victory later!

His Swashbuckle name is Sandcastle Andrew.

-Next, it's Julia.

-CHEERING

Julia is six, and enjoys playing games.

She's certainly come to the right place!

Her Swashbuckle name is Mermaid Julia.

-Meet Courtney!

-CHEERING

Courtney is also six, and likes running

so she's sure to be a fast mover.

Her Swashbuckle name is Commodore Courtney.

-Finally, it's Logan.

-CHEERING

Logan is six, and loves football. Maybe you'll kick off with a win.

His Swashbuckle name is Shipmate Logan.

Welcome aboard, my hearties, it's great to see you.

You're here to help me win back my jewels

from naughty Captain Sinker.

I need to make sure you're ready, by doing the Swashbuckle salute.

-DRUM ROLL

-Let me see you all marching!

# Put your hand on your hearts! Here we go!

-# Eye patch

-ALL:

-Eye patch

-# Pirate hats

-ALL:

-Pirate hats

-# Swashbuckle cheer!

-ALL:

-Arrr-harr! #

Brilliant! You are definitely ready for the adventure.

So, Squawk, what do we have to do today?

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 pirates will walk the plank,

into the ship's mess.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eurrrggghhhh!

Ooh, yucky. But hey, Swashbucklers, look down here.

This our treasure chest.

When you win back my jewels from naughty Captain Sinker,

we'll pop them in here to keep them safe.

You won't win my games.

Keeping these jewels will be a breeze!

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

Well, I think we've got a FAIR chance.

So, Squawk, what is the first game?

The first game is Coconutty Raft.

The aim of the game is to get six coconuts into the barrel.

All you have to do is use your raft to collect the coconuts,

and then bull's-eye them into the barrel.

But be careful - Cook and Line will be naughty and try to stop you.

CHEERING

Here is the barrel where you need to collect six

of the soft coconuts which are the other side of the lagoon,

under the palm tree.

Now, do look out for Cook and Line, they will try to put you off.

You have as long as it takes for the octopus to reach out

and close the treasure chest to play the game.

Andrew and Logan, you're going first.

So, are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arr-haaarr!

-Then Swashbucklers away!

-BELL RINGS

That's it, pirates, off you jump.

There we go, boys, well done.

Come on, pull yourselves to the other side of the lagoon.

AUDIENCE CHEERS ENCOURAGEMENT

-LINE:

-OK, off you go!

So, let's get two coconuts each.

Brilliant, let's bring them back.

Well done!

Cook's got his paddle, he's looking very cheeky.

Arr, he missed your coconuts, brilliant! Keep pulling, boys.

Collect up your coconuts.

Off you go, girls!

OK. Let's throw! Here we go, Andrew.

Yeah!

And another one, let's go.

Good work!

OK, here we go, Logan.

Oh, a bit too high, let's try again.

Ready?

Another one, yes!

Three coconuts already?!

We've got three coconuts, we need three more.

We're halfway now, Swashbucklers.

Oh, Cook!

CHEERING CONTINUES

Collect up the coconuts, that's it.

OK, off you go, boys!

All right, here we go, ready...

Oh, we missed...but it bounced back! Have another turn.

Ah, we missed. Never mind!

CHEERING CONTINUES

Come on, boys, we're running out of time!

Ooh, you have to get more coconuts!

Hey, they're Captain Sinker's best ones!

Oi, put those back!

Big pull! Come on, boys, we're so close!

OK, it's the last few seconds.

Oh, we've got another one in!

-AUDIENCE:

-Five, four,

three, two, one!

-BELL RINGS

-Ah, we got another one in,

but it's not quite enough coconuts.

Well done, Swashbucklers.

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

It was all going cocoNUTS, down there.

The Swashbucklers got off to a really good start.

They had three in the barrel in super quick time!

Sinker couldn't believe it.

But then cheeky Cook did a double coconut knock-off.

Let's see that again!

Naughty pirate!

As the time ran out, they got the fifth coconut in.

But not the sixth. Sorry, you lose.

Never mind, Swashbucklers. You tried really hard.

Don't worry, there's time to win back the jewels,

a little bit later.

Ah, look how the sun makes this jewel shine. I think I'm going to keep it!

We'll soon see about that, Sinker.

There's still time for one of you to take a dip

into the ship's mess, you know!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ewwwwww!

-Oh, Captain Sinker...

-Eugh. What is it,

and why are you dressed like it's going to rain?

Cook's going to make it rain, with the ancient pirate weather wheel!

And why would you want to do that?

So when we fall in the ship's mess,

-the rain will wash it off afterwards!

-Clever.

Two things.

One, we are not going to lose, and fall into the ship's mess.

And two - I need you to listen very carefully here -

this is NOT the ancient pirate weather wheel!

Oh, dear. I think there's a storm a-brewing.

Come on, we want to play another game,

and try and win back one of my jewels.

So, Squawk, what's next?

The second game is Bouncy Sails.

SQUAWK!

The aim of the game is to fill all the holes

with the soft toy rats and mice.

All you have to do is bounce on the ship's sails

and pull the ropes to release the rodents!

Then your team-mate has to put them in the correct hole.

But be careful - Cook or Line will be bouncing, too,

and trying to catch the rats and mice.

CHEERING

And these are the soft toy mice and rats

that you play the game with.

We're putting the little mice into the little holes,

and the big holes are for the big rats.

Logan and Julia, you're going to be bouncy for me?

Andrew and Courtney, you're collecting the rats and mice.

Let me give you these two to start you off.

So, are we ready to play?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrrggghhh!

Then Swashbucklers away!

BELL RINGS

Oh, look out for those pirates!

AUDIENCE CHEERS ENCOURAGEMENT

That's it, good work.

OK, we've got our first couple.

Very good, Julia.

That's it, let's get some more - we've got lots of holes to fill.

Aah!

Ha-ha, silly Cook!

Throw the fish!

That was a great throw, Logan.

Fish, why are there flying fish?

We don't want fish flying here, do we?

Here you go, back to you, Cook.

We've still got quite a lot of holes to fill up.

We need lots of mice!

We need one more rat, and the rest mice.

CHEERING CONTINUES

We need lots of mice!

We need one more rat!

We're running out of time!

Oh, I think they're going to do it!

One more! We've done it!

Brilliant! Come over here, Swashbucklers. That was fantastic.

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

What a mousetastic Bouncy Sails.

The Swashbucklers were chucking those soft toy rodents,

and filling those holes fast.

The tentacle was closing in, but they still needed more mice.

Just one mouse to get, and just in time!

Gem, you win!

Well done, Swashbucklers. You've won our first jewel. That is brilliant!

Captain Sinker - you know the rule...

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

Oh, you can have the silly jewel. This one's dull.

CHEERING

Ooh, here comes the red one! He-he! Ah, look at that.

There you go, Courtney, pop it in the chest, please.

Brilliant, well done!

Oh, where are those layabout pirates?

If they're playing with the pirate weather wheel,

I'll give them a storm!

THEY GIGGLE

What's this?!

Um, they're your bloomers, Captain.

Not these, the mess! What is going on?

We're about to try the ancient pirate weather wheel.

Ugh. You're not STILL going on about that, are you?

I told you before, it's an old pirate story.

-You cannot control the weather.

-Well, let's find out, shall we?

DING! LINE GASPS

-Snow! He-he-he! Here, wear this, Captain.

-Wha...? Oh!

Now, I've had enough of this. There's no... Oh!

I've had enough of this.

There's no way it's snowing out there.

Look.

It worked!

-No, that was luck.

-You're right, that was luck.

You're covered in snow. That is not fair.

Try it again, it won't work this time.

DING! LINE GASPS

Rain! He-he!

We don't need that, there wasn't a cloud in the sky

when we came down here.

There won't be a spot of rain!

THUNDER

Right, I'll prove this thing doesn't work,

-give it here!

-Wait, Captain, it's precious...

-Give it here.

-..ancient!

DING!

Wind. Cook, window.

Oh, wait, but it'll blow my hat off and I've just done my hair!

-Huh, nothing.

-Ha! Right, I told you it didn't work.

-I'm going to throw this thing in the rubbish.

-Oh!

Wah!

Can you, er, close the door, Captain,

you're letting in a bit of a draught.

It's all right, I'll do it.

CHEERING

OK, Swashbucklers, you have won one of my jewels,

so we need to find four in the final game.

But let's make sure we're ready, by doing the Swashbuckle salute!

So, let me see you all marching.

-Aharrrrgh! #

Ha-aaarrgh!

It's the Shipwreck Rummage.

SQUAWK!

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

which are 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!

OK, Swashbucklers, you have won back one of my jewels.

We need to find four more in the Shipwreck Rummage.

Let's see where they are.

On the top deck, we have the blue one in one of the treasure chests.

On the middle deck, we have the green jewel

in the crates of rats and mice.

On the lower deck, the white jewel is in the rope store

and a purple one is in the hammocks.

-Courtney and Logan, which colour will you get first?

-Blue.

-Blue.

-The blue one at the top?

-Yep.

-OK, are you ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrrrgh!

-Then Swashbucklers away!

-BELL RINGS

On your marks, get set, go!

For a four jewel Rummage.

Courtney and Logan, first.

And they're aiming for the blue

on the top deck.

Those pirates are doing their best to stop them.

Cook's tipping out a barrel.

But past him they go!

Up, and into the tunnel.

They've reached the top deck.

Wow, Logan went straight for the blue jewel!

We've got the blue one at the top.

-Which one are you two going for?

-Purple.

Down in the hammocks?

OK, as soon as they're back you can go.

Ooh, hold your horses...

Off you go! Well done, brilliant!

One jewel found, three more to find.

Andrew and Julia are after the purple jewel in the hammocks.

It's in there somewhere, Swashbucklers!

-Those are Captain Sinker's, give that back!

-He's got it!

Line hasn't put them off.

So, we've got the purple one!

-Where are you going next?

-Green!

OK, through the cannonball,

through the middle.

Good work.

Look over there, Swashbucklers!

Courtney and Logan are making their way through those cannonballs.

Going for the green. More pearls are pouring down...

Those naughty pirates are making such a mess!

Where's that green jewel in all those rats and mice?

Oh, Courtney's got it!

And she's off.

They've got the green one up here,

so I need you to get the white one in the rope store.

A-a-a-and off you go!

One jewel to find. It's the white in the rope store.

Andrew and Julia are on the case.

And he's got it.

-LINE:

-Put that back right now!

-Come on!

-Here comes Andrew.

He looks delighted!

Over to that chest with the final jewel.

Ah-ha! Yes, brilliant!

Fantastic, Swashbucklers. Well done to you four.

Squawk, you got the bird's-eye view. Over to you!

Another exciting Rummage.

Logan soon spotted the blue in Sinker's barrel of maps.

Purple was tougher to see, but Andrew spied it.

Courtney tracked down the green. Then, Andrew brought home the white.

All five jewels in the chest. Gem, that's a win!

Well done, Swashbucklers, that was brilliant.

You won back all of my jewels, thank you so much.

I'd love to share them out with you to hold on to.

So there you go, Andrew. Here's one for you, Julia.

And one for you, Courtney. There you go, Logan.

And the blue one for me.

Let's have a big cheer for my brave Swashbucklers.

And now that we have all five of my jewels back,

you know what it's time for...

One of those naughty pirates has to walk the plank. But who will it be?

Let's spin the wheel to see. Off you go, Logan.

So, will it be Cook, with the white hat?

Line, with the red bandana?

Or Captain Sinker, with the black hat?

It's...Line!

CHEERING

So, Line, it's time for you to...

-ALL:

-Walk the plank! Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

-LINE:

-It's smelly, it's smelly!

LINE CRIES

CHEERING

BUZZING

-AUDIENCE:

-Euuugh!

Looks like things turned out nice again,

with Line covered in the ship's mess.

We'll see you next time for more Swashbuckle!
