CD-ROM STAGING NOTES
1ntroduction
Musicals, with their combination of music, drama and movement, often present more
challenges to put on than a play. For this reason, we have included some suggestions (both in
the pull-out script and on the following pages) on how to go about staging Roald Dahl’s The
Three Little Pigs. Of course, these are only suggestions and are not intended to be
prescriptive. Be creative and experiment with new ways of staging your show, according to
your own school’s particular requirements.
Remember the importance of story-telling whilst staging this piece. If the key moments in the
story are not clearly understood by the audience, it is less likely to enjoy the performance.
Make sure that the actors tell the story effectively, with strong, well-projected voices and
well-defined characterisations. Also, it is important that those performers who are delivering
'punch lines' should do so clearly and without rushing. The wit of Roald Dahl’s lines can be
lost because the audience does not hear them clearly. The audience will hopefully want to
laugh at certain points. Prepare the children for this, so they know when they might need to
leave a pause for audience laughter or even applause.
However you decide to stage this piece, don’t forget that the show is a light-hearted one and
should be great fun to watch. Most importantly, the children must enjoy themselves. This
piece was written with tongue firmly in cheek and is there to be enjoyed by the cast as much
as the audience. If the children are having a good time, so will the audience.

CD-ROM STAGING NOTES
Scene 1
1. Overture
The CD includes an extract from the overture of Paul Patterson’s orchestral work, The Three
Little Pigs, to use at the start of your production. It could be used before the show begins to
set the tone of the piece or to accompany the children as they get into position on-stage. By
the end of the overture the chorus should be positioned on-stage in their three groups:
Group 1 (Farm animals), Group 2 (Woodland animals) and Group 3 (City types). Depending
on the number of children involved, you may want them to enter as their particular animal
or character, eg stalking, scurrying, prowling or strutting. The three Pigs could either be with
their respective groups or off-stage at this point. If the children are ready before the orchestral
music has ended, gently fade out the music.
2. Snouts and Curly tails (song)
The opening number sets the scene and introduces the audience to the three Pigs, each of
whom have very different characters. The chorus is split into three groups (Groups 1, 2
and 3) to sing.
The greater the number of children involved, the less you will want them to be doing a series
of complicated movements or a dance routine, as there might not be enough space.
Concentrate on finding fun hand actions or head movements (eg Pig One pats stomach, Pig
Two jogs up and down on the spot and Pig Three is on his mobile phone), rather than on
moving the three groups around the performance space.
The introduction (‘Now listen, everybody ...’) should be sung directly to the audience – the
more eye-contact the better.
During the short instrumental section before Verse 1, Pig One can appear, either from within
his group of Farm animals (Group 1), or from off-stage. He or she should be the main focus
for the whole of Verse 1 and the following chorus. Similarly, in Verse 2 Pig Two should be the
focus and in Verse 3, Pig Three. Whatever movements each Pig is doing, try to make them as
different as possible to emphasise their distinctly different characters.
In the choruses, you might like to have all the singers performing their Pig’s actions in unison
to emphasise what they are singing.
When the three groups perform their chants together just before the final chorus, the focus
should be on the three Pigs. Again, each Pig should doing something different in order to
emphasise their individual personalities.

Scene 2
3. Building the house of straw (music)
A section of Paul Patterson’s orchestral music has been provided on the CD (track 3) to
accompany the construction of the house of straw. There are various ways in which you could
stage the construction and blowing down of the houses, eg a dance (see page 6 in the pull-out
script for further suggestions). By the time the music finishes, the house of straw should be
fully constructed.
If you have time available, the children could compose their own music to accompany this
episode – see CD-ROM Music Activity on page 35 of this booklet.
4. Wolf coming! (chant)
This chant is an effective way in which to introduce Wolf. Encourage the children to build the
suspense here by making full use of dynamics. Also make sure that they maximise the
potential of the words of the chant – ‘glinting’, ‘crackling’ and ‘bristling’ are all onomatopoeic
words which are fun to say.
5. Huff and puff 1 (chant)
The Huff and puff chant returns three times during the show. As it becomes increasingly hard
for Wolf to blow the houses down, this should be reflected in the way the children perform
each chant. Huff and puff 1 should convey that Wolf has a reasonably effortless time blowing
down the house of straw. By the end of the chant the house of straw should have been ‘blown
apart’ (see page 6 in the pull-out script for staging ideas).
Some children could also add blowing sound effects to the chant – see CD-ROM Music
Activity on page 38 of this booklet.
6. Wolf chases Pig One (music)
The CD includes an extract of Paul Patterson’s orchestral music (track 6) to accompany a
frantic chase in which the ravenous Wolf pursues Pig One and finally chases him off-stage.
As indicated in the stage directions, the audience hears the sound of the Pig being eaten
off-stage. Appropriate sound effects could be squealing, yelping, crunching of bones, etc. You
could either pre-record some of these sounds or create your own vocal or instrumental sound
effects live.
As the music fades away, Wolf reappears on-stage, nonchalantly swinging Pig One’s curly tail.

CD-ROM STAGING NOTES
(continued)
7. Never-ending appetite (song)
This song emphasises that Wolf is constantly hungry and on the look out for food but also
likes to save the tastiest bit of his meal until last – in this case, Pig One’s tail.
At the end of Verse 1, line 3 (‘A crackling and a slurp?’), there are three beats rest in the music
where all the children can make an enormous slurping noise. Similarly in line 6, after ‘And
one enormous burp?’, the children can also insert a wonderfully unsubtle sound effect.
At the end of the chorus, the performers sing ‘But he saves a little something from his tasty
feast’. To make this clear, Wolf should hold up Pig One’s tail at this point. You may want the
whole chorus to pretend to hold up a pig’s tail too.
In the Chant section (‘What if you ate a goat?’ ...), the children can perform
actions/movements appropriate to the animals they are singing about. For example, as they
sing ‘goat’, Groups 1, 2 and 3 could put their forefingers to their foreheads to create horns, etc.
Make sure that the children are familiar with the song first before adding any actions.
There is also an opportunity to add sound effects with percussion instruments to represent
each of the animals mentioned in this section (goat, whale, butterfly, hummingbird and
jellyfish) – see CD-ROM Music Activity on page 44 of this booklet.

8. Building the house of twigs (music)
A section of Paul Patterson’s orchestral music has been provided on the CD (track 8) to
accompany the construction of the house of twigs. See page 6 in the pull-out script for
suggestions on staging the construction of the three houses.
By the end of this musical episode, the house of twigs should be fully constructed.
9. Huff and puff 2 (chant)
See (5).
For Huff and puff 2, the children should blow more forcefully than they did for
Huff and puff 1, as the house of twigs probably requires more of Wolf’s puff than the house
of straw. By the end of the chant the house of twigs should have been blown apart (see page
6 in the pull-out script for staging suggestions).
Again children could also add blowing sound effects to the chant – see CD-ROM Music
Activity on page 39 of this booklet.
10. Wolf chases Pig Two (music)
See (6).
The CD includes an extract of Paul Patterson’s orchestral music (track 10) to accompany a
chase in which the ravenous Wolf pursues Pig Two and finally chases him off-stage. As
before, you can have lots of fun with sound effects as the Pig is eaten off-stage. As the music
fades away, Wolf reappears on-stage, nonchalantly swinging Pig Two’s tail.
11. Never-ending appetite (reprise)
See (7).
The reprise is the final chorus of the song, Never-ending appetite.

12. Building the house of bricks (music)
A section of Paul Patterson’s orchestral work has been provided on the CD (track 12) to
accompany the construction of the house of bricks. See page 6 in the pull-out script for
suggestions on staging the construction of the three houses.
By the end of this musical episode, the house of bricks should be fully constructed.
13. Wheeler-dealer piggy (song)
In this song the audience gets to know Pig Three better. He is an upwardly mobile, ruthlessly
ambitious money-maker – the opposite of the victim portrayed in the traditional version of
the story.
This song is an opportunity for the child playing Pig Three to be a real showman/woman.
He/she should be a rock star in this number and should try to ‘sell’ the number with a cocky
swagger and with fists punching the air. You might want to give him/her a specific action for
each time he/she sings ‘I’m a wheeler-dealer piggy!’ in the chorus, so that when Groups 1 and
2 echo the words, they can also copy his action/movement.
14. Huff and Puff 3 (chant)
See (5) and (9)
For Huff and puff 3, the children should blow as hard as they can, as this time Wolf is unable
to blow the house down and it stays standing.
As before, some children could also add blowing sound effects to the chant – see CD-ROM
Music Activity on page 41-42 of this booklet.
15. Scene change: to Red Riding Hood’s house
The CD includes a section of Paul Patterson’s orchestral work to accompany this scene change
(track 15). Alternatively, if you have time, the children could compose their own ‘Red Riding
Hood’ music to play here – see CD-ROM Music Activity on page 45 of this booklet.
Make the scene changes simple and quick to achieve.

Scene 5
16. Telephone ring (sound effect)
The CD includes a telephone sound effect (track 16) to use here. Alternatively, if you have
time available, the children could create their own sound effect, eg on percussion
instruments, or even create their own ringtone.
17. Perfectly marvellous me! (song)
This song presents the two contrasting sides of Red Riding Hood’s character. Outwardly she
is pretty, sweet and everything a fairy-tale heroine should be. However, as the chorus suggests,
she is none of these things and in due course she is revealed to be crafty, blood-thirsty and
formidable.
Verses 1 and 2 can be staged fairly simply with Red Riding Hood sitting at her mirror and
admiring herself in the glass.
The chorus section should be more animated, perhaps with Red Riding Hood striding
purposefully across the stage. She could perform choreographed movements here. The other
characters should sing the chorus directly to the audience – this is important, since it is all
about disabusing the audience of their preconceptions.
18. Scene change: back to the forest
The CD includes a section of Paul Patterson’s orchestral music to accompany this scene
change (track 18). If the children have composed their own music for the scene change at the
end of Scene 4, this can also be played here.

Scene 6
19. Gunshot (sound effect)
The CD provides a gunshot sound effect to use here (track 19). However, you might like to
create your own, if you have time. Ideally, this gunshot sound effect should seem as if it is
coming from whichever side of the stage Red Riding Hood has just exited. It should be loud
enough to take the audience by surprise, but not loud enough to deafen them!
20. Wolf dying (chant)
Having been shot by pistol-toting Red Riding Hood, Wolf dies a slow and dramatic death, as
the rest of the cast perform the chant. The child playing Wolf can lurch and stagger as the
chant progresses until he/she finally hits the ground on the word ‘Dead!’.
It is a good idea to think about how to get Wolf’s body off the stage after the death. Will he
be dragged off by another actor or picked up by a group of children? (Bear in mind that it is
difficult to lift someone who is lying flat on the floor.) Alternatively, you might want Wolf to
be obscured by a group of children so that the actor can get up and walk off-stage without
being seen by the audience.
21. Done and Dusted (song)
This song celebrates Red Riding Hood’s plucky and courageous slaying of Wolf and should
feel like a happy finale. The song also sets up the twist in the final scene where Red Riding
Hood turns out to behave in an unexpectedly bloodthirsty manner, shooting Pig Three and
turning him into a pigskin travelling case.
When the cast sings ‘It’s a pity that we lost Pig Two and we lost Pig One’, it might be
appropriate to reintroduce the two pigs’ tails, as a small reminder of what has happened
earlier in the story.
There is an instrumental section in the middle of the song during which Red Riding Hood
has her picture taken by the photographer, surrounded by adoring fans. She then exits hand
in trotter with Pig Three. It is very important that the audience sees this happening to
emphasise here that the girl and the pig are best of friends. This way the shock is greater
when she returns, moments later, with her pigskin travelling case.
22. Finale (song)
This final number begins with a reprise of the first song, Snouts and curly tails. The middle
section continues to address the audience, suggesting that if they are shocked by the outcome
of this story they have only themselves to blame, as everyone knows that Roald Dahl twists
his stories in unexpected ways. There is also a short reprise of Done and dusted with an
extended ending.
The whole cast can sing this song, including the characters who have previously perished –
the three Pigs and Wolf. You could split the children into two or more groups for the section,
beginning ‘What did you expect?’ eg:
GROUP 1
What did you expect?
GROUP 2
The usual ending?

(continued)
You could do the same in the final section, eg:
GROUP 1
Let’s hear it for the Pigs ...
GROUP 2
One! Two! Three!
Although this is the final number of the show, it should not require much extra staging. Keep
it simple and add some effective actions.
After this song everyone in the cast should have a chance to bow. You may want to bring
others on-stage too, such as the director, the musical director and the people who have been
stage-managing backstage. You could even do an encore while this takes place.

Now listen, ev’rybody,
It's time to pay attention,
And just before we start the show,
There's something we should mention.
We'd like a bit of quiet, please,
We'd also like applause,
We don't want groans or mobile phones,
Or fidgeting or snores.
Now sit up straight and concentrate,
We'd like you all to meet
A porky little trio,
Who have snouts and curly tails and little trotters
Instead of feet!

And any wolf with any sense
Would try to keep away from my electric fence!

Come and slay the wolf!
Time to party,
Time to celebrate,
Time to have some fun.
Can’t help feeling
It’s a pity that we lost Pig Two
And we lost Pig One!
Solved and sorted,
This problem has been
Solved and sorted.

Miss Riding Hood has once more saved the day!
She’s a tonic,

Finale
ALL
Now listen, everybody!
And thanks for your attention,
But just before we end the show,
There’s something we should mention.
We hope we made you chuckle and
We hope you got the gist,
We hope you sang along and that
You cheered and booed and hissed.
We hope you weren’t offended
By the Roald Dahl twist.
But if you were, well ...
What did you expect?
The usual ending?
What did you expect?
A work of art?
What did you expect?
The same old story?
The one where you can tell the ending
Right from the start?
Yes, what did you expect?
A Hollywood epic?
What did you expect?
A pantomime?
What did you expect?
A bedtime story?
Or would you rather relish
A Revolting Rhyme?
Tried and tested,
This story has been
Tried and tested.
Let’s hope it kept you
Interested
And left you with a
Smile upon your face.
Don’t be rotters,
Now raise your trotters, (raise your hands to clap)
Don’t you know that you should? (clap, clap)
Let’s hear it for the Pigs …
One! Two! Three!
Let’s hear it for the Wolf!
Boo! Hiss!
Let’s hear it for the girl!
Hooray!
Red Riding Hood.

Farmyard
This is a simple warm-up game to encourage the children to focus on sound
and movement. For groups of eight to sixteen children. [Relevant for
all scenes.]
You will need a large circle of chairs (one less than the total number of children) for
this activity.
This is a physical game. Make sure that it is understood from the start that there is to be no
pushing and shoving. Anyone breaking this rule can be disqualified.
1. Divide the children into four groups and ask each group to assign themselves a collective
farmyard animal name, eg Pigs, Sheep, Cows or Ducks.
2. All except one of the children sit down on a chair in the circle. The game will work best if
the children sit next to someone from a different animal group.
3. The one remaining child stands in the middle of the circle. When he/she shouts out the
name of one of the groups, eg ‘Pigs!’, all those in the Pigs group must move to a new, empty
chair, and the child in the middle must try to sit on one of the vacated chairs.
4. The child who fails to find a new chair to sit on and is left standing, now takes their turn in
the middle of the circle. He/she shouts out the name of another animal, and that group
responds as before.
5. As well as being able to shout out one of four animal names, the child in the middle can also
shout out ‘Farmyard!’. This means that everyone has to change seats.
Variation 1 (with animal noises)
Ask each group to agree on a noise for their animal. When the child in the centre calls out
‘Cows!’, for example, everyone in this group must make the sound of a cow as they try to
change seats.
Variation 2 (with animal movements)
The children move like their animal whenever they are called upon to change seats.
Variation 3 (with animal noises and movements)
The children make both the sound and the movement of their chosen animal as they
swap chairs.

CD-ROM ACTING GAMES
Partners
A game to get the children moving, thinking quickly, and responding to a signal.
[Relevant for all scenes.]
You will need plenty of space, and a tambourine or bell to make a signal.
This is a physical game – explain to the children that no one is allowed to push or shove,
and that any physical contact (except with your partner) is not allowed.
1. Split the children up into pairs (or groups of three, if necessary). Demonstrate the sound for
your signal (eg bang a tambourine or ring a bell).
2. Once each child knows who his/her partner is, ask the children to separate and to wander
round the room, greeting anyone that they pass with a cheerful hello.
3. Make your signal. The children must immediately find their partner in the room. Once they
have found each other, they must sit on the floor together.
4. If you wish to make this game competitive, ask the last pair to sit down to sit out. Then the
game continues until there is only one pair left.
Variation 1 (in larger groups)
This is similar to the main game but this time the children get into larger groups, such as
‘those wearing trainers, those not wearing trainers’ or ‘those with long hair/short hair’ etc.
1. The children all split up, walk around the room as before, and at the given signal have to
find their way back to their group as swiftly as possible.
2. Once there, they must sit on the floor.
There are lots of variations on this game – you can think of more inventive groups to place
the children in or try instructing the children to make their way back to the group in complete
silence or in slow motion.
Variation 2 (with animal sounds)
To make it particularly relevant for Roald Dahl’s The Three Little Pigs, split the children into
three or four animal groups, eg Goats, Pigs, Horses or Wolves.
1. Play the game exactly as before, but this time, at the signal the children must return to
their groups, making the noise of their particular animal.
2. Once they have found their group, they sit on the floor.
The game can be repeated asking the children to return to their groups moving as their animal
and then again with the movement and sound combined.

Mood and movement
A game to encourage the children to do an action or actions in a specific
emotional state. For any number of children. [Relevant for all scenes.]
This game provides children with a framework around which they can convey a
particular emotion.
If you are playing this game with lots of children, you will need a large space. You will also
need one chair per child.
1. Start by teaching the children a simple piece of choreographed movement. For example, ask
them each to take a chair and to stand about ten paces in front of the chair and facing it.
Then give them very clear directions, eg:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
walk to the chair –
pat the chair three times with your hand –
walk round the chair once –
sit on the chair –
cross your legs, then uncross your legs –
stand up –
put both hands in the air –
put your hands down.
2. The children repeat this series of movements several times until they become familiar with
it. They should do it like robots, i.e. with no emotion.
Once they have mastered the basic routine, ask them to try the sequence of movements
showing a particular emotion, eg angrily, or sadly, or nervously etc.

Character voices
A game to enable the children to speak the text in character. [Relevant for
all scenes.]
1. Choose a couplet from the Roald Dahl poem, such as:
‘The little pig began to pray,
But Wolfie blew his house away.’
2. Ask the children to memorise this.
3. Split the children into groups of three or four.
4. Each group chooses an animal, eg a woodland creature (such as a snake, an owl or a mouse)
or a farmyard animal (such as a pig, cow or chicken). They then experiment with speaking
the couplet they have learned as their chosen animal. This might be a tight, hissing voice for
the snake, a soft, hooting voice for the owl, a squeaky high voice for the mouse or a deep,
soft voice for the cow. At first they should try to do this all speaking the couplet together.
Once they have mastered this, they can try it individually.
5. Now ask the children to split from their groups and wander about the room, mixing with
children from all the other groups. Ask each child, when meeting another child, to repeat the
couplet in the voice of their chosen animal.
6. By this time there should be a cacophony of animal sounds in the room. Quieten them down
and choose a few of the children to demonstrate their voices. The other children can try to
guess which animal character is being portrayed.
Variation 1 (with movement)
Add movement to this game. Once the children are moving about the room, mingling with
children from different groups, they can physicalise their chosen animal. Remind them that
it should not be necessary to go onto all fours to imitate an animal’s movement and they
should focus on conveying a sense of the movement of their animal whilst still remaining
on two legs.
Variation 2 (voice projection)
Select a few confident children and place them at the far end of the room. Ask them
individually to repeat the couplet in their chosen animal’s character. This is a good
opportunity to see if the couplet can be delivered clearly and understandably even though the
child is in character. If the words are not clear enough, he/she will need to adapt his/her voice
until the couplet is comprehensible. Hopefully, by the end of this exercise, the children will
be able to deliver the poem in character where appropriate without compromising the clarity
of the poem.
Variation 3 (playing people)
Play the game again but this time with a group of Red Riding Hoods or City types – the game
does not have to be limited to animal characters.

Copycats
A game to help with movement. [Relevant for all scenes.]
1. Ask the children to get into pairs, and to decide who is ‘A’ and who is ‘B’.
2. Ask ‘B’s to stand to the side of the room and watch their partners closely.
3. Ask ‘A’s to start walking around the room as they would normally.
4. At a given signal from you (this can be a tap on a drum or a hand clap), ‘B’s should go to
their partners and start to follow them, copying their movement as closely as possible.
5. Now ask the ‘A’s to drop out and to stand at the side of the room. ‘A’s will now be watching
‘B’s doing a physical imitation of themselves. This can be very amusing and also very
revealing.
6. Repeat the whole process starting with ‘B’s doing the walking.
Variation (using animal movement)
1. Start the game as above but this time ask ‘A’s to choose a character (animal or human)
and to walk in character.
2. ‘B’s now follow ‘A’s around the room, imitating their movement.
3. At a given signal ‘A’s should go to the side of the room leaving ‘B’s to continue mimicking
the character movement without them.
4. Repeat, this time starting with ‘B’s doing the character movement and the ‘A’s copying.
Talk to the children about how they felt ‘using’ someone else’s walk. Ask them how it felt to
mimic someone else’s character movement, eg was it easy/hard?

Animal movements and sounds
A game to help with animal movements and animal sounds. [Relevant for
all scenes.]
Game 1
You will need a large space for this game.
1. The children stand in a line against one wall of the room. (If there are too many children,
split them into two groups.)
2. Call out the name of a type of animal, eg ‘wolf!’.
3. The children make their way across the room using movements that suggest a wolf.
Remind them that they do not have to go onto all fours for this, but can convey a sense
of the movement of, eg a wolf, or pig or snake, whilst still remaining upright. You may
want to let some of the more confident children show their work to the others.
Game 2
1. Space out the children in the room, then ask them to sit on the floor and shut their eyes.
2. Ask them to think of an animal. Specify a farmyard animal or a jungle creature, if you
wish. Alternatively, say nothing and leave it to the children to decide.
3. Ask them to visualise their animal: to imagine how big it is, how heavy it is, how hairy
it is, how many teeth it has, etc.
4. When they have had a chance to do this, ask them to imagine what sort of sound this
animal makes.
5. Ask them to start experimenting out loud with the sounds that they have been imagining,
whilst remaining seated on the floor with their eyes closed.
6. Once they have tried this out, bring them back to silence again and ask them to
concentrate on movement. Still with the image of the animal in their head, they must
open their eyes, get up from the floor and slowly start to experiment with the movement
of that animal, eg is it quick and jerky or slow and lumbering, etc? Let them move about
the room for a while, experimenting with the physicality of their chosen animal.
7. Once they have had the chance to try this out, ask them to combine the sound and the
movement and encourage them to move about the room as their chosen animal, making
appropriate sounds.
8. Choose one or two confident children to show their work to the rest of the class. The
observers can have fun guessing which animal is being portrayed.

The three little Pigs and their houses
Compose your own music to accompany the building and blowing
down of the three houses.
Listening
In The Three Little Pigs musical, there are three occasions when a house is
created or moved on-stage (depending on how you decide to stage this). On the
CD, there are three contrasting extracts from Paul Patterson’s orchestral work,
The Three Little Pigs, (tracks 3, 8 and 12) which can be played to accompany
these moments in the story.
1. Play the orchestral extracts to the children: track 3 (Building the house of
straw), 8 (Building the house of twigs) and 12 (Building the house of bricks).
2. Ask the children to discuss what they have heard. Consider:
●
In what ways are the extracts similar? (Eg they both have pace and an
energetic feel.)
●
In what ways are they different? (Eg they have different melodies,
played on different instruments, a high clarinet tune for track 3 and
contrasting trumpet tunes for tracks 8 and 12. They have contrasting
feels, eg track 3 has a cartoon feel, track 8 has an American feel and
track 12, a Mexican feel.)
Ask the children to do the following:
●
think of three to five words to describe your Pig's character. Write them
next to the Pig in blue.
●
think of three to five words to describe the house material. Write them
on the roof of the house in blue.
●
think of three to five words to describe building a house. Write them
on the walls of the house in blue.
Composing
Ask the children to look at the words they have written down and use them as a
stimulus for composition. They can use the red pen to note down their musical ideas.
Pig music
1. Ask the children to look at the words they used to describe their Pig. What
sounds do they suggest (eg woodblocks, metallophones, bells, shakers)? Do
they suggest more than one instrument? Do they suggest long sounds or
short sounds? Fast or slow rhythms?
2. The children experiment with different sounds to create musical ideas for their
Pig, choose their favourite ideas, and note them down on their worksheet.
House music
Preparation
1. Divide the children into groups and give each group the photocopiable
worksheet on page 37. This will be used to note down ideas. Give each group
a blue pen and a red pen.
1. Ask the children to look at the words they used to describe their Pig’s house.
What sounds do they suggest (eg, shakers, wood, skin, bell)? Do they suggest
more than one instrument? Do they suggest long sounds or short sounds?
Fast or slow rhythms?
2. Either tell each group to choose a pig (Pig One, Two or Three) and his
respective house, or allocate pigs and houses to the groups yourself.
2. The children experiment with different ideas, noting down the best on the
roof of the house on the photocopiable.

Building music
Performance
1. Ask the children to look at the words they used to describe their Pig building
his house. Consider:
1. Each group can perform their piece for the rest of the class. Can the listeners
guess which Pig and which house is being built? How did they guess?
●
How quickly would the Pig work? (Eg would it be quickly, slowly or
at a medium pace? Would he starting slowly and get quicker or vice
versa, as he gets tired?)
●
How would he work with the house material? (Eg would he bundle
straw together? Break up or saw twigs? Pile up bricks?) How could
they convey these different sounds?
●
How might you show, musically, that the house is being built?
(Eg compose a tune that gets higher and higher or louder and louder?)
Could you write a chant which will reinforce what is happening?
2. Again, try out different ideas and select the most successful.
2. Discuss what worked well in each composition.
If you wish, you can incorporate the children's compositions into your
performance of The Three Little Pigs musical. Be aware that you will need to
ensure that how you stage bringing on or creating the three houses fits with the
music you have composed.
What you will need
A wide selection of sound makers, tuned and untuned percussion instruments.
Putting it all together
If you are using tuned percussion, you might like to suggest the following
groups of notes:
 
● ABC D FGA
The children then create a composition out of the three ideas:
●
1. Ask the children to decide how to structure their ideas. They might play
them in an order (eg begin with the Pig music, follow with house music and
then perform the building music) or play different themes simultaneously.
●
DEGABD
G G A A B C C D
●
DEFGAB
2. One member of the group could conduct their composition by pointing at
different areas on the photocopiable, as the rest play.

Sound effects: Huff and puff
Compose sound effects to accompany the Huff and puff chants 1, 2
and 3.
At the end of the chant Huff and puff, there is an opportunity for the children
to make blowing sound effects to represent Wolf attempting to blow the houses
down. These can be created using anything available: mouths, hands, tubes,
homemade instruments, tuned and untuned percussion instruments, wind
instruments etc. Sound effects are needed three times:
●
for the house of straw which blows down very easily;
●
for the house of twigs which requires more puff;
●
for the house of bricks which stays up despite great efforts.
Huff and puff 1
(Wolf and the house of straw)
1. The children sit in a circle.
2. Go around the circle, asking each child to make a blowing sound effect using
just their voices. Ask them to consider:
●
how many different blowing sound effects can they make?
●
whether they can make any interesting effects by changing the shape
of their mouths or by putting their hands over their mouths?
●
to experiment with long sounds and short sounds. Which are the most
effective?
3. Remember that the house of straw blows down very easily. How could they
show this with sound?
4. Practise different ways of increasing the volume of the blowing sound
effects. Try:
●
everyone starting quietly, then getting louder;
●
a small number of children start, then more and more children
gradually join in.
5. Now consider suitable sound effects for the straw house falling down:
●
How might it sound? Would it be noisy or gentle? A long sound or lots
of short sounds? Metal sounds, scrapers or shakers?
●
What soundmakers or instruments might best create the effect?
How might they be played?
Experiment with different ideas, then agree on a sound effect.
6. Put it all together – this may require a few practices. Chant Huff and puff
with the piano accompaniment or with track 5. Practise bringing in the
blowing sound effects and, on the final chord, the sound effects you have
chosen to represent the house tumbling down.
What you will need
●
a wide selection of soundmakers and untuned percussion instruments.

accompaniment or with track 9. Practise bringing in the sound effects, and,
on the final chord, the sound effects you have chosen to represent the house
collapsing.
1. Explore the sound effects that can be created by blowing down tubes.
●
Do different-sized tubes sound different?
●
How does it sound different from blowing without a tube?
2. Practise different ways of increasing the volume of the blowing sound
effects. Try:
●
everyone blowing quietly down tubes, then blowing harder;
●
a small number of children start and then more and more children
gradually join in;
●
blowing first with mouths and then down tubes.
What you will need
●
tubes of different sizes and materials, eg kitchen roll tubes, plastic Smarty
tubes, hose pipe etc.
●
a selection of soundmakers.
●
a selection of untuned percussion instruments.
3. Consider the sound effect for the house of twigs falling down:
●
How might it sound different from the house of straw? Could different
soundmakers and instruments be used? Would it consist of a sequence
of sounds? Would it be a longer or shorter sound effect? Louder or
quieter?
●
You may wish to create the effect that the house of twigs is a little
harder to blow down than the house of straw. How might you go
about this?
As before, experiment with different ideas, then agree on a sound effect.

Huff and puff 3
(Wolf and the house of bricks)
When Wolf tries to blow down Pig Three’s house, the house of bricks, he finds
he can’t and the house stays standing. At the end of Huff and puff 3, there is a
longer section of music to accompany Wolf trying harder and harder to blow
the house down.
1. Work on creating the effect of Wolf blowing harder and harder, using any
wind instruments you have available. Experiment with making different
sounds, eg covering up the window on the mouth piece of a recorder to
create a whistling effect or trying different pitches.
2. Divide the children into three groups:
(continued)
On the following page there is a graphic score which gives a visual
representation of how this could work.
The conductor should experiment with when to bring the three groups in. Try
out different scenarios and decide what works best. You could appoint a
confident child to take on the role of conductor in the performance.
If you wish to perform the chant without the piano accompaniment (eg
unaccompanied or with a simple drum beat), you can be more flexible about
how long the sound effects take to perform.
What you will need
●
a selection of wind instruments, eg recorders, ocarinas, penny whistles,
kazoos, swanee whistles etc.
●
tubes of different sizes.
●
Group 1: mouths and hands only (see page 38);
●
a selection of soundmakers.
●
Group 2: tubes (see page 39);
●
a selection of untuned percussion instruments.
●
Group 3: wind instruments.
3. Create three sections of blowing music to accompany the instrumental
section at the end of Huff and puff 3.
●
Section 1: group 1 only, starting quietly and getting louder.
●
Section 2: group 1 continues, group 2 joins in, starting quietly getting
louder. Both groups start quietly and get louder.
●
Section 3: groups 1 and 2 continue and group 3 joins in. All three
groups start quietly and get louder and louder.

Exploring sound effects: Never-ending appetite
Add sound effects using classroom percussion to the chanted
section in the song, Never-ending appetite (track 7/27).
1. Listen to the chant in the middle of this song (track 27):
3. Then ask them to explore sound effects for each animal (eg elephant) and
animal part (trunk), using the instruments available.
They should decide whether to use the same sound effect for each creature
or whether to use a different sound, or combination of sounds, for each –
there could be up to twelve different sounds in all eg:
All (except Wolf)
What if you ate a goat?
●
elephant – drum; trunk – tambour
Wolf
I’d save his coat!
●
butterfly – bells; wing – triangle
All (except Wolf)
What if you ate a whale?
●
hummingbird – scraper; hum – shaker
Wolf
I'd save his tail!
All (except Wolf)
Elephant?
Wolf
Trunk!
All (except Wolf)
Butterfly?
Wolf
Wing!
All (except Wolf)
Hummingbird?
Wolf
Hum!
All (except Wolf)
Jellyfish?
Wolf
Sting!
All
There’s always something to savour from just
about anything!
Explain that the sound effect could be created using more than one
instrument.
4. Decide as a class on the best sound effects for each animal.
5. Allocate each sound effect to a child or group of children to play. As you play
track 27 or perform the chant, the children play their sound effect on the
appropriate words. Perform the chant slowly at first to allow sufficient time
for the children to get used to playing on their respective words. Then
perform the chant at the proper tempo. Make sure that the sound effects do
not overpower the words.
What you will need
●
a wide selection of untuned percussion instruments.
2. Make sure that the children are confident performing it.

Who’s behind the hood?
Compose music for Red Riding Hood. If you wish, use this music to
accompany the scene changes at the end of Scenes 4 and 5.
Listening
1. Listen to track 15. Explain that this is an extract from Paul Patterson’s
orchestral work based on Roald Dahl’s poem, The Three Little Pigs, and is
part of the musical section associated with Red Riding Hood.
2. Ask the children about the music they have heard:
●
is it fast or slow? Happy or sad?
●
what instruments can they hear?
●
how do they imagine Red Riding Hood to be from listening to Paul
Patterson’s music? (Eg is she shy or confident? Rude or polite? etc.)
3. Discuss how the children imagine the character of Red Riding Hood. How
do they think of her when they think of the traditional story? (Eg sweet,
charming, kind etc.) How do they think of her when they read Roald Dahl’s
Revolting Rhyme? (Eg brave, unkind, cunning etc.) How does this compare
with how they think of her when they listen to Paul Patterson’s music?
tambourines, woodblocks, etc) to play some or all of the following
suggestions, or make up your own. (You might find it useful to think of a
phrase first, see below, before adding percussion. It does not have to be a
four-beat phrase.)

Composing
1. Divide the children into small groups. Tell them that they can decide to
compose a piece of music for Red Riding Hood that either reflects the image
of her in the traditional fairytale or her character in Roald Dahl’s Revolting
Rhyme. (They should not tell the other groups which they have chosen.)

2. First ask them to create some ostinati (a repeated rhythmic pattern), using
untuned percussion instruments. Either select instruments (eg drums,

3. Now make up short musical phrases for Red Riding Hood. Experiment with
using different groups of notes on xylophones, eg:

●

●
Is there a set of notes which particularly suits the character of Red Riding
Hood that they have chosen to portray?
4. Some members of the group play the musical phrases, whilst others play the
ostinati on untuned percussion.
5. Each group discusses which musical phrases best reflect their chosen
version of Red Riding Hood’s character and then chooses two or three of
their most successful musical phrases, labelling them A, B (and C). They
then work out an order for playing them, eg:
●
A A B A or
●
A B A C A B A.
Which order works best?
6. Each group performs their Red Riding Hood composition for the rest of the
class. Ask the listeners ‘Who is behind the hood?’. Can they guess from the
music which version of Red Riding Hood’s character each group has chosen
to portray?
7. If appropriate, use one or two of the children’s compositions to accompany
the scene changes at the end of Scenes 4 and 5.
