Put on a Play! in Today’S Homeschool Hub Lesson, Múinteoir Ray Told Us All About the Three Little Pigs Story Home Wednesday School 13th May Hub 1st & 2nd Class Drama Put On A Play! In today’s Homeschool Hub lesson, Múinteoir Ray told us all about the Three Little Pigs story. This is a great story to act out with your family, because even if there are only two of you in your home, you can each pretend to be different characters. Here’s what you should think about when putting on your piggy play! Characters: Pig 1 Pig 2 Pig 3 Big Bad Wolf Mammy Pig Narrator Setting: This can be a forest, but it could also be a beach or a mountain or under water! Anywhere you could build a house. Use your imagination! Check out RTÉ Home School Hub everyday on RTÉ 2, RTÉ Player & rte.ie/learn. Put On A Play! Events: • The three little pigs move out of home. • They each have to build their own house. • One builds a house of straw, the other builds a house from sticks and the third works very hard and builds his house out of bricks. • The wolf blows down the straw and sticks houses but cannot blow down the brick house. • The wolf tries to climb down the chimney of the brick house, but falls into a pot of boiling water. • The moral of the story: Hard work pays off. The pig that built the brick house and worked the hardest, saved himself and the other two pigs as well! Maybe you could record your drama and send them into us on the RTÉ Home School Hub website! We’d love to see it. Bring Home The Bacon! (3+ Players) 01 Players line up opposite each other behind a line on either side and there is an object in the middle that is the “bacon” (we recommend using an object like a book or a ball as opposed to using real bacon. That might get messy!). 02 Another person is the referee standing to the side. 03 Once everyone is ready, the referee shouts “BRING HOME THE BACON!!” and a player from each side must race from their line to the centre to retrieve the bacon. 04 The player who gets the “bacon” first must race back behind their team line, without being tagged by their opponent. 05 That team then get a point. If the player is tagged, the team gets no points. Tip: If there is more than one person on each side, the referee can give numbers to the team members. For example, one side would have 1 and 2 and the other side would also have 1 and 2. Then, the referee will shout “BRING HOME THE BACON, NUMBER 1s!” and the number 1s must run out to bring home the bacon without being tagged by the other number 1, and so on. Have fun! Cartoon Colouring Here’s a Three Little Pigs cartoon for you to colour in. Enjoy!.

  • Summary: Civil Mock Trial of B
    (INSERT NAME OF COURT) Judge (INSERT NAME OF JUDGE) (INSERT MONTH, YEAR) Summary: Civil MoCk Trial of B. B. Wolf versus Three Little Pigs ProsecutioN: B. B. Wolf accuses the Three Little Pigs of assault, conspiracy, aiding and abetting (assisting or encouraging), and slander. He says they tricked him into falling into their pot of boiling water to cook him into Wolf Soup. The pigs say he wanted to eat them, but admit they tried to eat him. They bully him, saying all wolves are big and bad, no matter how small or good they are. Their flimsy houses fell when he sneezed due to allergies when he went over to invite them to his party. DefeNse: The Three Little Pigs argue they were defending themselves from B. B., who destroyed two of their homes and broke into the third to eat them. They say B.B. didn’t visit to invite them to his party to be his guests; he wanted them to be his lunch. They learned early that all wolves are big and bad and that all look alike, so they can’t tell them apart. The defense argues B. B.’s favorite foods are all made of pig, including pig’s feet, bacon, and pork rinds; and doubt he has allergies. WitNess for ProseCutioN: Snacky Pig says B. B. tried to eat her for a snack, minutes after she was born. That is why they call her “Snacky.” On cross-examination, however, she admits her eyes were still closed, and she didn’t see the wolf.

  • Poetry the Three Little Pigs by Dahl
    “THE THREE LITTLE PIGS” by Raold Dahl The animal I really dig Above all others is the pig. Pigs are noble. Pigs are clever, Pigs are courteous. However, Now and then, to break this rule, One meets a pig who is a fool. What, for example, would you say If strolling through the woods one day, Right there in front of you you saw A pig who’d built his house of STRAW! The Wolf who saw it licked his lips, And said, “That pig has had his chips.” “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” “No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The little pig began to pray, But Wolfie blew his house away. He shouted, “Bacon, pork and ham! Oh, what a lucky Wolf I am!” And though he ate the pig quite fast, He carefully kept the tail till last. Wolf wandered on, a trifle bloated. Surprise, surprise, for soon he noted Another little house for pigs, And this one had been built of TWIGS! “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” “No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The Wolf said, “Okay, here we go!” He then began to blow and blow. The little pig began to squeal. He cried, “Oh, Wolf, you’ve had one meal! Why can’t we talk and make a deal?” The Wolf replied, “Not on your nelly!” And soon the pig was in his belly.

Or at least they think they do. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story. Officer #1: Name? Wolf: I'm the wolf. Alexander T. Wolf. You can call me Al. I don't know how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all wrong. Officer #2: I see. And what makes you so sure? Wolf: Maybe it's because of our diet. Hey, it's not my fault wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies, sheep and pigs. That's just the way we are. Officer #3: Can we stick to the story, please? Wolf: If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were Big and Bad, too. But like I was saying, the whole Big Bad Wolf thing is wrong. The real story is about a sneeze and a cup of sugar. 1 Scene 2 Narrator #1: Way back in Once Upon a Time time, A. Wolf was making a birthday cake for his dear old granny. Wolf: I had a terrible sneezing cold. Narrator # 2: He ran out of sugar. Wolf: So I walked down the street to ask my neighbor for a cup of sugar. Narrator #3: Now this neighbor was a pig.

  • The Three Little Pigs VS. the True Story of the Three Little Pigs
    Gabriella Samuelsson The Three Little Pigs VS. The True Story of The Three Little Pigs Have you ever read The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of The Three Little Pigs? There are many similarities and differences between The Three Little Pigs and The True Story of The Three Little Pigs. Let’s start with Three Little Pigs. In The Three Little Pigs it is written in the third person. Also in The Three Little Pigs The Big Bad Wolf purposely blew down the three little pigs’ houses. In The Three Little Pigs the Big Bad Wolf looks very guilty. The wolf wanted to eat the three little pigs in this story. Another difference is the Big Bad Wolf ended up on the third little pig’s dinner table! In The Three Little Pigs the illustrator shows the pigs buy the materials for the houses. You see actual pictures of the three Little Pigs in this story. The True Story of The Three Little Pigs was written in the wolf’s prospective. The wolf ended up in jail in this story. In this story the wolf tries to make himself look innocent. The wolf has a cold and sneezes, which makes the houses fall down. In this story the houses were already built. The wolf wanted to bake a cake. You do not get a good glimpse of the pigs in the illustrations. Finally let’s talk about the similarities of these stories. These two stories are similar because the two stories both have a Big Bad Wolf and three little pigs.

  • The Story of the Three Little Pigs
    The Story of the Three Little Pigs Once upon a time when pigs spoke rhyme And monkeys chewed tobacco, And hens took snuff to make them tough, And ducks went quack, quack, quack, O! THERE was an old sow with three little pigs, and as she had not enough to keep them, she sent them out to seek their fortune. The first that went off met a man with a bundle of straw, and said to him: 'Please, man, give me that straw to build a house.' Which the man did, and the little pig built a house with it. Presently came along a wolf, and knocked at the door, and said: 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in.' To which the pig answered: 'No, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin.' The wolf then answered to that: 'Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in.' So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in, and ate up the little pig. The second little pig met a man with a bundle of furze and said: 'Please, man, give me that furze to build a house.' Which the man did, and the pig built his house. Then along came the wolf, and said: 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in.' 'No, no, by the hair of my chiny chin chin.' "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in.' So he huffed, and he puffed, and he puffed, and he huffed, and at last he blew the house down, and he ate up the little pig.

  • “The Three Little Pigs”
    “The Three Little Pigs” Once upon a time there lived three little pigs. The first little pig was very lazy. He made his house out of straw. The second little pig was almost as lazy. He made his house out of sticks. The third little pig was not lazy. He was smart. This third little pig worked long hours to build a house completely out of brick. One day, a wolf came into the pigs’ neighborhood. Smelling fresh pork , the wolf went up to the first pig’s house. He banged on the door and said, “Little pig, little pig. Let me in!” “Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin,” retorted the first little pig. “Then, I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your straw house down!” And he did so. But, as the house fell down, the first little pig escaped to the second pig’s house. The hungry wolf next went up to the second pig’s house. He banged on the door and said, “Little pig, little pig. Let me in!” Predict (1) To where will the first “Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin,” and second little pigs escape? responded the second little pig. ________________________ “Then, I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your stick house down!” And he did so.
