Farmyard Fun with Barney (script)

(Theme song)

(It's summer vacation and the kids are all gathered at the treehouse, we see a depressed looking Curtis. He sighs and sits down on a bench. )

Curtis: I really wish I was in Kentucky...

(Meanwhile, inside, his other friends, Robert, Kim, Kristen and Hannah are all playing a game of adventure)

Kim: Look! It's the lost treasure of Imagination Island!

Robert: Is it really?

Hannah: I think it is! Come on!

Kim, Hannah and Robert:

Let's go on an adventure;

Just pretend and you will see.

Let's go on an adventure;

One just for you and me.

Robert:

We can pretend

that we sail the ocean blue.

Following a map,

'til we find the final clue.

Kim, Robert and Hannah:

Let's go on an adventure;

Just pretend and you will see.

Let's go on an adventure;

One just for you and me.

Kim:

Way out in space,

I imagine there's a place.

Hannah:

We can go up to the stars...

Kristen:

Maybe meet a man from Mars!

Kim,  Robert, Hannah and Kristen:

Let's go on an adventure;

Just pretend and you will see.

Let's go on an adventure;

One just for you and me!

Kristen:

It's more fun when we share

The dreams we have inside

There's just so much to do

Let adventure be your guide!

Kim, Kristen, Robert and Hannah:

Let's go on an adventure;

Just pretend and you will see.

Let's go on an adventure;

One just for you and me.

If we use our imaginations;

Just pretend and you will see.

Let's go on an adventure;

One just for you and me.

Let's go on an adventure;

One just for you and me!

(Kids chatter)

Kristen: Hey, has anyone seen Curtis today?

Kids: No... Not really... I saw him this morning..

Kristen: Well... He seems to be upset about something. I bet Barney should know...

(Barney comes to life in rainbow sparkles)

Barney: Whoa! Does it sound like someone needs cheering up?

All Kids: Barney!

Barney: Hi! What seems to be the problem?

Kim: Well Barney, it's Curtis. He seems sad today.

Robert: Now that you think about it, he was acting funny this morning. He was a bit upset about something. I could see it through his emotions.

Barney: Well, maybe I'd better go and check on him. Be right back!

(Barney goes outside and finds Curtis. Curtis sees Barney and smiles)

Curtis: Barney! Oh! Boy am I glad to see you, I have been feeling sad today.

Barney: Well, um,  what seems to be the problem?

Curtis: Well... I miss my grandma and grandpa Morris, they live on this big farm in Kentucky, and I would like to see them, but my mother doesn't get time off until at least July.

Barney: Well... I know what'll cheer you up!

Curtis: You do?

Barney: Sure! But... You're going to have to follow me!

(Curtis follows Barney back into the treehouse)

All kids except Curtis: Curtis!

Curtis: Hi everybody.

Barney: Well.. Shall we get going?

Hannah: Get going?

Kristen: Get going where Barney?

Barney: Well... I'll give you a hint, you can find lots of animals here and a  bunch of fruits and vegetables too!

Kim: Sounds like a surprise! Come on!

(The kids follow Barney, we see a graphic in purple, yellow and green sparkles)

Hannah: Where are we?

Kim: If I'm not mistaken, we're inside a barn!

Curtis: It's Kentucky!

Robert: Kentucky?

Curtis: Yeah, this is where my Grandma and Grandpa Morris live!

(Barney appears in a western farmer like outfit)

Barney: Howdy! Welcome to the farm!

Curtis: Barney, have you taken us to the farm where my grandmother and grandfather live?

Grandma Morris: Well, as I live and breathe.... If it ain't my grandson Curtis! Come on over here and give your granny a big hug!

Curtis: Nana! (They hug). Guys, this is my Grandma Morris, she's my mother's mother. Grandma, these are my friends, Kim, Kristen, Robert and Barney.

Barney: My pleasure!

Grandma Morris: Oh! Barney! A mighty fine pleasure to meet you too!

Curtis: Where's Grandpa?

Grandma Morris: Oh, he had to get some things for the annual hoedown. You know your grandpa, always doin' everything at the last minute.

I bet he's gonna show up at least before the hoedown. If y'all need anything,  just holler!

Kids and Barney: Okay! We will! Thanks Grandma Morris!

Kim: Barney, I have the feeling that this may turn into an adventure!

Barney: Really? I was thinking just the same thing!

Would you like to take a ride?

It's gonna be great!

We'll see all there is to see.

It's a sunny day,

and nothing can beat.

A ride in a wagon full of hay.

All:

What an adventure, can you imagine.

All the sites we'll see today

'cause we're on a farm, hooray!

Kim:

On the farm we'll see lots of animals,

and maybe we can pet some too.

Kristen:

As we ride by, give a little wave,

and they'll say "Hello!" to you.

All:

What an adventure, can you imagine.

All the sites we'll see today

'cause we're on a farm, hooray!

Kristen:

There are the fields where they grow fruits and vegetables.

They're yummy and so good for you.

Curtis:

Corn and beans and can you see the big red apples too!?

All:

What an adventure, can you imagine.

All the sites we'll see today

'cause we're on a farm, hooray!

What an adventure, can you imagine

There's so much here that we can see.

There's no place we rather be

'cause we're on a farm, yipee!

Hannah: Well, where do we start?

Kristen: There's so much to see!

Curtis: Let's check on the crops I planted in autumn! I bet they've grown by now!
