To those of you who have been faithful to it in return

Dorothy, please!  We're trying to count!

Fifty-eight--

DOROTHY

Oh, but Aunt Em, she hit him over the --

UNCLE HENRY

Don't bother us now, honey -- this old

incubator's gone bad, and we're likely to

lose a lot of our chicks.

DOROTHY

Oh -- oh, the poor little things.  Oh, but

Aunt Em, Miss Gulch hit Toto right over the

back with a rake just because she says he

gets in her garden and chases her nasty old

cat every day.

AUNT EM

Seventy --  Dorothy, please!

DOROTHY

Oh, but he doesn't do it every day -- just

once or twice a week.  And he can't catch

her old cat, anyway. And now she says she's

gonna get the sheriff, and --

AUNT EM

Dorothy!  Dorothy!  We're busy!

DOROTHY

Oh -- all right.

MCS - Aunt Em and Uncle Henry taking chicks out of incubator -

UNCLE HENRY

Poor little orphan, and her Miss Gulch

troubles. Gosh all hemlock - you know, she

ought to have somebody to play with.

AUNT EM

I know, but we all got to work out our own

problems, Henry.

UNCLE HENRY

Yes.

AUNT EM

Oh, I hope we got them in time.

UNCLE HENRY

Gulch?  Just because Toto chases her old

cat --

ZEKE

Listen, honey, I got them hogs to get in.

HUNK

Now lookit, Dorothy, you ain't using your

head about Miss Gulch.  Think you didn't

have any brains at all.

DOROTHY

I have so got brains.

HUNK

Well, why don't you use them?  When you come

home, don't go by Miss Gulch's place.  Then

little more heart yourself, and have pity

on her.

Well, gee, I try and have a heart.

HICKORY

Now look, here's something that really has

a heart. This is the best invention I ever

invented.

DOROTHY

This?

HICKORY

Sure. It's to break up winds, so we don't

have no more dust storms. Can you imagine

what it'll mean to this section of the

country? I'll show you. It works perfectly

now. Here's the principle. You see that fan

-- that sends up air currents into the sky.

These air currents -- Oh, stop it!

DOROTHY

Oh!

HICKORY

Who did it? Now wait a minute.

DOROTHY

Hickory!

HICKORY

Look at you, Zeke -- you're just as white --

AUNT EM

Here, here, what's all this jabber-wapping

when there's work to be done?  I know three

shiftless farm hands that'll be out of a

job before they know it!

HICKORY

Well, Dorothy was walking along the --

AUNT EM

I saw you tinkering with that contraption,

Hickory. Now, you and Hunk get back to that

wagon!

HICKORY

All right, Mrs. Gale.  But some day they're

going to erect a statue to me in this town,

and --

AUNT EM

Well, don't start posing for it now.  Here,

here -- can't work on an empty stomach.

Have some crullers.

HUNK

Gosh, Mrs. Gale.

AUNT EM

Just fried.

HICKORY

Thanks.

HUNK

Swell.

ZEKE

You see, Dorothy toppled in with the big

Duroc...

AUNT EM

It's no place for Dorothy about a pig sty!

Now you go feed those hogs before they worry

themselves into anemia!

ZEKE

Yes'am.

DOROTHY

Auntie Em, really -- you know what Miss

Gulch said she was gonna do to Toto?  She

said she was gonna --

away -- behind the moon -- beyond the rain --

DOROTHY

(sings)

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,

There's a land that I heard of once in a

  lullaby.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream really

And wake up where the clouds are far behind

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow,

Beyond the rainbow

mustn't! Auntie Em!  Uncle Henry!  You won't

let her, will you?

UNCLE HENRY

Of course we won't.  Will we, Em?

DOROTHY

Please, Aunt Em, Toto didn't mean to.  He

didn't know he was doing anything wrong.

I'm the one that ought to be punished.  I

let him go in her garden.  You can send me

to bed without supper --

MISS GULCH

If you don't hand over that dog, I'll bring

a damage suit that'll take your whole farm!

For any individ'le

In trouble or in pain.

My heart all full of pain.

lighted match.

MS -- The Wizard speaks to Tin Man, Dorothy, Lion and the Scarecrow -- the

Why, anybody can have a brain.  That's a

creature that crawls on the earth -- or

slinks through slimy seas has a brain!

MCU -- Wizard -- shooting past the Scarecrow at right --

WIZARD

From the rock-bound coast of Maine to the

Sun.... oh - oh, no -- -- ah - Well, be

that as it may. Back where I come from we

have universities, seats of great learning

And when they come out, they think deep

thoughts -- and with no more brains than

you have.... But!  They have one thing you

haven't got!  A diploma!

MS -- The Wizard reaches back and obtains several diplomas -- selecting

one and presents it to the Scarecrow as Dorothy, Tin Man and the Lion look

the throne steps -- opens a door and takes out a black bag -- takes a

medal from the bag --

SCARECROW

How can I ever thank you enough?

WIZARD

Well, you can't.  As for you, my fine

friend -- you're a victim of disorganized

thinking.  You are under the unfortunate

delusion that simply because you run away

from danger, you have no courage.  You're

confusing courage with wisdom.  Back where

I come from, we have men who are called

heroes.  Once a year, they take their

fortitude out of mothballs and parade it

down the main street of the city.  And they

have no more courage than you have.  But!

They have one thing that you haven't got!

A medal!  Therefore -- for meritorious....

MCU -- Lion -- shooting past the Wizard in the f.g. as he presents the

medal to the beaming Lion --

WIZARD

the Triple Cross.

MS -- Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow watch the Lion as he beams with joy over

his new medal -- the Wizard turns to the Tin Man -- speaks to him --

WIZARD

As for you, my galvanized friend, you want

a heart! You don't know how lucky you are

not to have one. Hearts will never be

practical until they can be made

unbreakable. I could have been a world

figure, a power among men, a - a successful

wizard, had I not been obstructed by a heart.

TIN MAN

But I still want one.

WIZARD

Yes -- ....

MCU -- Wizard -- shooting past the Tin Man in left f.g.

WIZARD

...back where I come from there are men who

do nothing all day but good deeds.  They

are called phil...er -- er -- phil -- er,

yes...good-deed-doers.  And their hearts

are no bigger than yours.  But!  They have

one thing you haven't got!  A testimonial!

MCS -- The Tin Man waits as the Wizard bends down and gets a heart-shaped

watch from his black bag -- CAMERA TRUCKS forward slightly as he presents

kindness, I take pleasure at this time in

presenting you with a small token of our

esteem and affection.  And remember, my

sentimental friend....

MCU -- Wizard -- shooting past the Tin Man in left f.g.

WIZARD

you love, but by how much you are loved by

others.

Oh, I don't think there's anything in that

black bag for me.

Well, you force me into a cataclysmic

The balloon failed to return to the fair.

It did?

WIZARD

Frightened?  You are talking to a man who

has laughed in the face of death -- sneered

at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.  I was

petrified.  Then suddenly the wind changed,

and the balloon floated down into the heart

of this noble city, where I was instantly

acclaimed Oz, the First Wizard de Luxe!

DOROTHY

Ohhh!

WIZARD

Times being what they were, I accepted the

job, -- retaining my balloon against the

advent of a quick get-away.

(laughs)

And in that balloon, my dear Dorothy, you

and I will return to the land of E Pluribus

Unum!

You've always had the power to go back to

Kansas.

DOROTHY

I have?

SCARECROW

Then why didn't you tell her before?

GLINDA

Because she wouldn't have believed me. She

had to learn it for herself.

TIN MAN

What have you learned, Dorothy?

MCU -- Dorothy -- Lion behind her -- she speaks --

DOROTHY

Well, I -- I think that it -- that it

wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle

Henry and Auntie Em -- and it's that -- if

I ever go looking for my heart's desire

again, I won't look any further than my own

backyard.  Because if it isn't there, I

never really lost it to begin with!  Is

that right?

goodbye.  I love you all, too.  Goodbye, Tin

Man.  Oh, don't cry.  You'll rust so

dreadfully.  Here -- here's your oil-can.

Goodbye.

TIN MAN

Now I know I've got a heart -- 'cause it's

breaking.

DOROTHY

Oh --  Goodbye, Lion.  You know, I know it

isn't right, but I'm going to miss the way

you used to holler for help before you found

your courage.

LION

Well -- I would never've found it if it

hadn't been for you.

DOROTHY

I think I'll miss you most of all.

GLINDA

Are you ready now?

Yes.  Say goodbye, Toto.

FADE IN -- THE END -- FADE OUT

Answer 3

My daughter's daycare did an annual year end program for each "grade" level.  The 3 year olds sang a few songs, the 4 year olds preformed their songs, etc.  It was all centered around a "theme".  Theirs was a country western rodeo.  The kids got cowboy hats and bandannas when they arrived.  The boys had sherriffs hats.  They made theme related crafts at different stations and had an ice cream sundae social.  It was really cute.  

If you chose a theme like the rodeo and when the kids get their "Diploma" they could be shaped as big gold stars with their names on them. The kids could help out at the different stations and show their parents what they did over the past year kind of like a show and tell event.

Answer 4

At one of my children's pre-k graduation ceremonies, each child told what they would like to thank their parents for! It was really sweet.

Answer 5

What ceremony?  I admit to not understanding this necessity for "graduating" from every grade.  In fact, it seems to me to devalue one's real graduation from high school.  Personally, I believe a return to the old way is best here.

Answer 6

Have them all sing songs they've learned (Wheels on the Bus, ABCs, Itsy Bitsy Spider), especially if gestures go with it.  Whatever you do, it will have to be short (but you already know that!), and the parents just want photo ops.....

Answer 7

I used to teach Pre-K and when we had "graduation" we just had them sing some of their favorite songs or show a special talent.  For example, one year I had a couple of little boys who loved to tumble and were very good at it so we brought out the mats and let them do a tumbling act.  The kids can sing solos if they are comfortable or sing in pairs or as a group, whatever they are willing to do.  But, no matter what you do the parents LOVE it and the kids love showing off for them.  Everyone always had a great time at ours no matter what we did.

Answer 8

A lot of children's books can be turned into plays (very hungry caterpillar, gingerbread man, walking through the jungle,...). The advantage is they tend to be short and the children are already familiar with it
