Snow Joke 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!

Ahoy there, me hearties! Welcome to Swashbuckle!

Arrr-harrr!

My name's Gem and look!

The Scarlet Squid is all decorated ready for Christmas!

Arrr-harrr!

Are you ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

Arrr-harrr!

And will you help me to win back my Christmas jewels

-from those very naughty pirates?

-Arrr-harrr!

Brilliant.

Now, where is Captain Sinker? Can you see her anywhere?

-Boooo!

-Oh, there she is!

-Boooo!

Oh, boo you! It's so hot on this island, I'm in a bad mood.

How can you be in a bad mood, Sinker? It's Christmas!

Yay!

Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas

if it's not cold and snowy.

Cook! Line!

# Dancing through the sand on a one-horse open sleigh

# O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way, ha-ha ha! #

Oh, come on, captain, cheer up!

Yeah, it's Christmas!

And we got you a...

PRESENT!!!

I'll give you a clue.

It's NOT a new Brian the Super Lobster toy,

because that's what I'd like for Christmas.

And it's NOT a reindeer onesie with flashing antlers,

because that's what I want for Christmas.

It's... this!

A snowman snow globe!

You got me...

A snowman snow globe?

Oh, I love it! Oh, thanks, boys.

Oh, oh, wrap it up properly with a big bow,

so I can open it later and be all surprised!

It will be a surprise if Captain Sinker

stays in the Christmas spirit, won't it?

Right, let's meet my festive Swashbucklers, Squawk!

Playing today, we've got Scarlet!

Scarlet is six years old and enjoys painting pictures!

Maybe she'll have a brush with victory later.

Her Swashbuckle name is Sneaky Scarlet!

-Next, it's AJ!

-Yay!

AJ is also six years old, and loves reading stories.

It'll be a real life adventure today.

His Swashbuckle name is Anchor AJ!

-Meet Grace!

-Yay!

Grace is six and really enjoys sleeping,

but she'll need to be wide awake to play the pirate games!

Her Swashbuckle name is Dolphin Grace!

-Finally, we've got Theo!

-Yay!

Theo is six years old and is a football fan.

So, hopefully it'll be a win at full-time for him!

-His Swashbuckle name is Bobby Theo!

-Yay!

A-ha! Welcome aboard, to my new team of Swashbucklers!

You're here to help me win back my jewels from Captain Sinker?

Thank you, very much.

But I need to make sure you are ready by doing the Swashbuckle Salute!

So, let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your hearts.

-Here we go!

-Eye patch! Eye patch!

-Pirate hat!

-Pirate hat!

-Swashbuckle cheer!

-Arrr-harrr!

Well done, me hearties. So, Squawk, what do we have to do today?

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!

Yay!

And this is our treasure chest.

So, we'll put all of my jewels back in here,

to keep them safe when you win them back from Captain Sinker.

If you don't win my jewels, it will be a very happy Christmas for me!

Boo!

We want to win back those jewels to decorate my treasure chest,

so, Squawk, what's the first game?

The first game is Stepping Stones!

The aim of the game is to build the palm tree!

All you have to do is cross the rock-pool

to collect the pieces from the other side!

But be careful of Cook and Line,

because they'll be trying to block your path!

CHEERING

And here is the picture of the palm tree that you need to build.

There are six pieces altogether that you have to collect

from the other side of the stepping stones over in those crates.

But look out for Cook and Line playing the Christmas bongos

and flinging Christmas salmon into the stepping stones.

If you fall in, you have to go back

to the side that you were coming from, OK?

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.

-Grace and Theo, will you go first?

-Yes.

-Brilliant.

Are we ready to play...

Arrr-harrr!

Swashbucklers, away! Off you go!

Come on, everybody. Let's encourage them. Cheer them on.

That's it! Go on, Grace. Well done. Oh, wobbly, Theo, be careful!

Look out for those... Oh, he's in!

Back this side, Theo! As quick as you can.

We really need that piece there, Grace. Oh, no. Grace is in.

Back to the other side. Well done. Theo's across.

-That's it, Grace.

-Christmas time...

Come on, Theo!

That's it, nearly there, Theo. Oh, good balancing!

And he's over! Good work. On you go, Scarlet!

I'm trying to knock off the Swashbucklers!

OK, and off you go, AJ.

Make sure we get the right pieces in the right order. Good work.

-Two pieces across. Four more to collect.

-Fling some fish!

That's it, well done. Come on, Scarlet! Keep going! Oh, no.

You fell at the last stepping stone!

You have to take it back across, AJ.

-Well done.

-She's in.

-Come on, that's it. As quick as you can.

-The tentacle is nearly at the chest!

-He's quick!

Off you go, Theo. Well done.

Oh, they've still got the green leaves to get!

Bring back the green leaves, Theo. That's it!

Come on, team, we can do it!

Come on, Theo. Take your time! We need these leaves across.

Off you go! Only two left to get, come on!

Nine...

Eight... Seven...

Six... Five...

Four... Three...

Two... One!

BELL RINGS

Oh, time is up. Good try. Come over here, Grace.

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

What a Christmas cracker of a Stepping Stones.

Theo fell in once and on the way back steadied himself on a barrel.

But Scarlet was steady and AJ was a dasher and a dancer over the stones.

Sinker's little helpers, Cook and Line, were putting them off,

and there were leaves still to get when the bell jingled,

so it's a lose.

Oh, never mind, Swashbucklers. You tried so hard there but don't worry.

-We could still win back that jewel a little bit later.

-Ho, ho, ho.

I get to keep your jewel.

Well, we could still win back that green jewel later,

and if we win them all, then one of you naughty pirates

will have to walk the plank into the smelly ship's mess.

Eeeeew!

Eeeeew!

# Jingle Bells, ship's mess smells... #

All right, all right, enough singing.

Now, have you wrapped up my surprise Christmas snow globe

present of amazingness?

I've got the wrapping paper.

And I've got the big bow and the arrow.

No! I don't mean a bow and arrow. I meant a big silky bow!

Oh, throw it away!

-Go on, then? Throw it away.

-Are you sure?

-Well, that's what the captain said.

-OK.

LAUGHTER

Oh, no, I'm never going to get my new Brian the Super Lobster toy now.

And I won't get my reindeer onesie with its flashing antlers!

Oh, dear, what's going to happen to Captain Sinker's Christmas spirit?

Right, we want to play another game. Squawk, what is it?

The second game is Swashbubbles.

The aim of the game is to knock over all the coloured barrels.

All you have to do is use your Swashbubbles

to topple those towers.

But be careful, Cook and Line will be getting in your way!

Yay!

And here you are inside your swashbubbles but look out,

because Line is also in a swashbubble,

and Cook is dressed up like a very festive octopus.

And they will try to get in your way. AJ and Grace, you go first for me.

Once you knock over the barrels, make your way back over here

to bounce tag into Scarlet and Theo.

Are we ready to play?

Swashbucklers, away!

Here we go. Big cheers, everyone. Come on!

Come on, swashbucklers!

They're going in different directions!

That's it! Go for the yellow barrel.

Oh, you're going for the green one. That's it. Big push, well done!

Look out for the big flying fish from that festive octopus.

That's it, Grace. Up you get.

-Oh, he's taken a tumble.

-Wait for Gracie. Brilliant.

Now, off you go, AJ and Grace. Good work. Quick as you can!

Ready to bounce tag. That's it, yeah, off we go!

Come on, everyone. Cheer them on.

-The tentacle is halfway to the chest.

-Shake the bubble around.

Oh, get up, Line.

That's it. A big push with the blue barrels. Yeah! Well done.

Two more barrels to go. That's it, well done. Brilliant.

That's very speedy. That's it, Theo!

Keep going, come on. You're nearly there.

Ready, and... Off you go.

Quick as you can. Come on, team. We can do it.

Two more to go.

-Got the red one over, brilliant.

-They still need the yellow one!

Come on, Grace. Come on. Quick as you can.

Just keep going as fast as you can.

We're running out of time, quick, quick. Go, go, go!

Ten... Nine...

Eight... Seven...

Six... Five...

Four... Three...

Two... One...

BELL RINGS

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

What a festive Swashbubbles!

Line was rolling around like a Christmas pudding.

And AJ and Grace were heading in different directions.

Line was still rolling around, so Grace had a sit down.

Scarlet and Theo went for the blue barrel and Line rolled around again.

The red barrel fell but there was one more to go. Sorry, you lose.

Oh, never mind, me hearties. That was very close, but don't worry.

We could still win back all five of those jewels,

later in the shipwreck rummage.

Oh, Gem. I've got a little Christmas present for you.

Boo!

Oh, what is this? Yuck. Some seaweed tinsel.

Hee hee hee.

Without all your jewels that's the only thing you'll be getting

this Christmas that sparkles and twinkles.

Well, me and my Swashbucklers are still full of Christmas cheer

and if we win back all five of my jewels, one of you naughty pirates

will have to walk the Christmas plank into that smelly ship's mess.

The only thing we'll be smelling of this Christmas is success.

Boo!

Now, where is that Christmas snow globe?

-Just the seaweed tinsel and we're done.

-Brilliant!

You know what, Cook? I've been thinking,

maybe we shouldn't tell Captain Sinker

that I accidentally threw her precious snowman snow globe

into the ship's mess...

She's standing right behind me, isn't she?

What? You threw it in the ship's mess?

Sorry, Captain Sinker.

No, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

I'm a brave, fearsome pirate and it's just a snow globe

and it just made me feel cold and snowy and Christmassy. Waah!

I know. This means we haven't been good enough pirates

to get our Christmas presents now.

Don't worry, captain.

We'll put our heads together and think of something.

Shake the bubble around!

We've got it!

Captain.

You know how you wanted it to be all cold and snowy like Christmas?

And you know how you love shaking your snow globe?

What if you were your own snowman in your own snow globe?

LAUGHTER

Hello! I don't know how I got this through the door.

Are you feeling all cold and Christmassy now, Captain?

Kind of but it's not very snowy.

Well, how did you make it snow in your snow globe?

-I shook it very hard and all the white bits flew around.

-OK then.

LAUGHTER

Oh, well, boys, I feel very Christmassy now.

Here's your presents.

Ho-ho...whoa...whoa!

-Both:

-Thanks, Captain!

Brian The Super Lobster, just what I wished for.

A reindeer onesie with flashing antlers, how could you know?

Happy Christmas, boys.

CHEERING

All right then, my festive hearties, it's time to win back all five

of my jewels in the Shipwreck Rummage but I need to make sure

we're all ready by doing the Swashbuckle salute one more time.

Let me see you all marching. Put your hands on your heart. Here we go.

-Eye patch. ALL:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate's hat. ALL:

-Pirate's hat.

-Swashbuckle cheer. ALL:

-Arr-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 could 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

OK, my hearties,

you need to find all five of my jewels,

let me show you where they're hiding. Up on the top deck,

the purple one is in one of Captain Sinker's treasure chests.

Then the green jewel is over in the laundry on the second deck and

also the white one is on the second deck in the baskets of sea creatures

and down on the lower deck we have the blue one over in the food store.

And the red one in the rope store.

Now boys are going first, which colour are you going for?

-Both:

-Purple.

-All right then, are we ready to play? Both:

-Arrr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

AJ and Theo are off.

They've dodged the rats and mice.

Now it's snowing pearls but they're climbing fast.

Five jewels to find.

Go, Swashbucklers!

Keep going to the top!

Line's pouring all he has at them.

But you'll not slow them down, Line.

Theo's got it!

Brilliant, so they've got the purple. Where are you going next?

-Both:

-Green.

The green one at the laundry? OK. And off you go, girls. Well done.

Let's get the first jewel in.

That's the purple jewel back safely and Scarlet and Grace

are on their way to the laundry to find the green.

-Grace, hurry!

-Merry Christmas!

-Merry Christmas, silly Cook.

That was very friendly, Scarlet.

Who wants some snowballs?

Watch out for the snow beach balls from Line.

Get the door!

Quick as you can, girls. Where is the green jewel?

It's by your feet!

Good spot, Gem, the girls have got it.

Got the green one, so, boys, where are you going next?

-Both:

-White!

-The white one, OK.

Brilliant! Down you come. And off you go, boys.

Now the boys are after the white.

Two jewels back. Still three to get.

Keep going, Swashbucklers, come on!

AJ, check the basket, here, look in the basket right there.

Oh, this jewel is really hard to find.

-You're not going to find it!

-Theo's gone to another basket

but maybe it's fallen into the bottom of AJ's one.

Look in the middle one here. It's sunk to the bottom of the basket!

-AJ and Theo are losing valuable seconds here. Oh!

-Keep going!

Oh, no, they're going to get it! They've got it!

At last, they've got it but that took some serious time.

-Where are you going next?

-Red.

-To the red one, OK,

In the rope store, running out of time.

-Go to the red one as quick as you can.

-Oh, no, there's not enough time!

BELL SOUNDS

Oh, swashbucklers, we're out of time.

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

What a Merry Rummage.

It was snowing pearls at the start but AJ and Theo

pounced on the purple jewel.

Scarlet and Grace launched into the laundry

and managed to find the green but the white jewel was the trickiest.

Theo popped it in his sack but no more jewels were found.

I'm sorry, Gem, you lose!

Oh, well done to my Swashbucklers.

You tried so hard but we couldn't find all the jewels in time,

so none of the naughty pirates has to walk the plank today.

-But have you had lots of fun? ALL:

-Yeah.

Let's hear it for my Swashbucklers.

CHEERING

Well, this truly is the best Christmas ever,

we don't have to walk the plank to the ship's mess, do you hear, boys?

Well, I've still got lots of Christmas cheer, so I've left

the three of you naughty pirates a special Christmas present.

Hang on a second, I know what you're up to, these are probably

pretend presents to teach us a lesson for keeping your jewels.

Well, I'm going to show you, Gem.

You think I'd do that at Christmas? No!

-I found some old gold coins in the treasure chest.

-What?

-I wrapped them up for you.

-No. No, you wouldn't have. But I...

Well, I can't reach them. They're in...they're in the ship's mess now.

Oh.

LAUGHTER

CHEERING

Oh, I do love seeing the look on people's faces when I give them

a lovely present at Christmas.

We'll see you next time for more Swashbuckle, and happy Christmas!

CHEERING

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

# 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!
