Scouting: Skits p13
As the narrator continues to talk a person comes out with three pies on
a tray and hands them to the three members of the pie in the face team.
The narrator describes the various pie in the face throws that have
evolved thru the centuries. In every case the person in the middle
receives the pie in the face. Examples of pie throws are the classic pie
in the face, the pie on the top of the head, the double pie in the face,
the pies on the side of the head, and the swing, miss and hit. You can
have the person in the middle change places and still get a pie in the
face. The last thing that happens is that the guy in the middle who was
getting all the pies in the face gets the other two members of the pie
in the face team.
During all this keep the members of the pie in the face team supplied
with pies. This can go on as long as you would like. Another thing is
wipe off the pie in the face team faces once in a while. Be original and
creative with skit.
Plane Landing: Pilot and control tower voice are located on opposite
sides of the stage area. A out of sight on the pilot's side makes engine
noises. Another person starts the skit by saying, "I think that there is
a plane overhead."
PILOT (yelling loudly): "Pilot to control tower - "I'm coming in. Give
me landing instructions!"
CONTROL TOWER (in loud monotone as if through a microphone): "Control
tower to pilot - why are you yelling so loud!"
PILOT: "Pilot to control tower, pilot to control tower-I haven't got a
radio !"
Play Ball: The scene is set with an umpire, a catcher, a pitcher, first
baseman, second baseman and third baseman. The players run out to their
positions, start talking and acting like they're ready to play ball. The
Umpire tells the players to play ball. Then the pitcher looks around
with a worried expression and starts to cry. The catcher goes out to see
what is matter and starts to cry as well. Follow the same routine with
First, Second and Third Baseman. The Umpire finally asks in expiration
what is the matter. The pitcher replies that they don't have a ball.
Pop Commercial: Have one fellow standing, holding an unopened pop
bottle, the next holding a bottle opener (or stands ready to open the
container, one hand as if holding the container and the other hand
raised over it), the other two doing nothing. The first guy examines the
bottle real close and passes it to third guy who guzzles it, pretend or
for real, and passes the empty container to the last guy. This guy looks
at the empty bottle or container with a sick look on his face and then
burps as loudly as he can.
Potted Plant: A scout pretending to be a delivery boy comes wandering
through the meeting with a potted plant which he says is for Mrs.
Mergertroid. He comes back through the meeting several times each time
saying, "Potted plant for Mrs. Mergetroid." Each time the potted plant
gets bigger. The last time he comes in carrying a small tree. Finally
the leader says there isn't any adults here, just kids. Delivery boy
looks at the card and says. "Oh for heaven's sake. I've been reading it
wrong, the plant is from Mrs. Mergetroid For ; Name of some one in the
unit."
Presents for the Teacher: Kids bring in presents for their teacher on
the first day of school. The teacher can tell what the child's parents
does by the present he brings such as apples from parent's fruitstand,
baker's child brings rolls, candymaker candy. The last person brings in
a crudely wrapped package, with yellow liquid leaking out. The teacher
tastes the liquid and states that his father must run a bottling
factory. The child replies that no his dad is a dogcatcher and that it
is a puppy in the package.
