KUNG FU PANDA – AWESOME MOVES! 10 Minute Script

 

Host - sides

The HOST enters, waving to the Audience and getting them to join in, clapping in time to the music [TBC, if the Music lends itself to Clapping Along].

HOST

Welcome, everybody! My name is XXXX, I'm a Kung Fu Master - watch this!

They do a short, impressive display of Kung Fu moves, jumps or kicks (details TBC depending on performer's specialisms). They finish with a bow, to encourage applause.

HOST

Thank you, honoured friends! I'm so happy to see you all! I greet my friends by shouting: NI HAO! [nee-how] Let me hear you shout it too - NI HAO! Great, even louder - NI HAO!

The Audience yell "Ni Hao!"

HOST

I'm here for some very special training, with two of my fellow Kung Fu Masters - I have a feeling you're going to recognise them! Now, as we all know, training takes a lot of focus, and energy. So, to give me the strength I need, I brought along these delicious noodles. Mmmm!

HOST

Ah! No time for noodles right now - - because my friends are on their way. Any second now you're going to meet the one and only dragon warrior! He was once an ordinary panda, who worked in his dad's noodle shop, and really, really loved Kung Fu. Then one day, he found out he was destined to become the mighty dragon warrior! That's right - he's the world-famous Kung Fu Panda: PO! Would you like to meet him?

The Audience yell "Yeeeesss!"

HOST

You're in luck, because here he comes!
