THE BULLFIGHT



Divide the group into five smaller groups and assign each group one of the words listed below. Read the story. After each of the words is read pause for the group to make the appropriate response.
BULL "Rghh-rghh-rghh"
BULLFIGHTER "Viva-viva"
TRUMPETS "Taa, ta-taa, ta-taa "
BEAUTIFUL GIRL "Oh, Senor!"
CROWD "Ole! Ole!"

Tonight we're going to take to a bullfight in South America. In the very front row on the shady side of the arena is seated a BEAUTIFUL GIRL __. Before the fight starts, the band plays and the TRUMPETS __ blow. The BULLFIGHTERS __ enter and march around the arena. The BEAUTIFUL GIRL __ throws her roses to the BULLFIGHTER __.

The BULLFIGHTER __ tosses his hat to the BEAUTIFUL GIRL __ just as the BULL __charges into the ring. The BULL __ lowers his head and races toward the BULLFIGHTER __, who gracefully steps aside behind his cape just in time. The CROWD __ shouts. The BEAUTIFUL GIRL __ screams.

The BULL __ charges again and the BULLFIGHTER __ guides the BULL __ with his cape while the CROWD __ cheers. The TRUMPETS __ sound as a signal for the fight to end. Again the CROWD __ shouts, and the BULLFIGHTER __ makes his "kill."

The BULLFIGHTER __ bows gracefully to the CROWD __ while the BEAUTIFUL GIRL __ smiles and waves. As we leave the bullring, we hear, fading away in the distance, the shouts of the CROWD __ and the noise of the TRUMPETS __.
