How the Grinch Stole Christmas Script

November 16th, 2008

How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a popular Christmas story. Other than the songs that were originally written specifically for this cartoon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas script is EXACTLY what Dr. Seuss wrote in his book of the same name. Nana has found TWO versions of The Grinch script. Read below and follow the links to The Grinch script, a Readers Theatre The Grinch script, fun Grinch activities, How the Grinch Stole Christmas YouTube videos, and some Grinch stuff for collectors.

Synopsis of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

When he was rejected as a child, the Grinch (no name please) takes revenge to steal Christmas from Whoville with the help of his dog Max…  The movie, directed by Ron Howard and starring Jim Carey based on How the Grinch Stole Christmas book, came out in 2000.

The Grinch Script

Readers Theatre Grinch Script

For a second Grinch Script, read below…

Inside a snow flake…
like the one on your sleeve…
lay the small town of Whoville–
the home of the Whos!
and the Whoville Band marched
in their Christmas-y best.
they loved Christmas the most…

Grinch Who Stole Christmas script

…Where are you, Christmas
I think I’ve found you
This time I’ll make you stay
All will be singing
Bells will be ringing
Now and forever
Christmas Day.

Piping Melted Chocolate

Use this easy one-step method for piping chocolate. Place about 1/2 cup chocolate chips or a 1-ounce square of chocolate in a reasonalbe plastic sandwich bag. Close bag tightly. Microwave on HIGH about 1 minute; knead chocolate until it’s melted. Repeat if necessary, microwaving 30 seconds at a time. Twist the top of the bag tightly against the chocolate. Snip a tiny tip (about 1/8 inch) off one corner of the bag. Hold the top of the bag tightly and pipe the chocolate through the opening. This method is great for adding a chocolate drizzle to a cake or cookies.
