The vanious homes‘ for the Mother Goose characters 1e suggested along the street. A screen may represent Humpty Dumpty’s wall and a stop-ladder behind it forms a good perth for Humpty Dumpty.

A bakery for Pat-a-Cake msy be suggested by a kitchen table, pastry board, rolling-pin and pans. The setting for this scene may be as simple or as elaborate as you choose or as circumstances permit. As curtain rises the Mother Goose song is heard off stage. It la sung to the easy and familiar tune of "Auld Lang Syne": We'll sing a song to Mother Goose, For shejs xhildhood's friend: She shares the joys of git-ll and WI And-loves them to the end.
