ding-ding-ding!

[HOST] Welcome, welcome — clap your hands and grin, it's the WORD-JOB quiz, and we're plugging words in! Here's the riddle, so listen up, my friend — guess who I am... before the ding at the end!

[ALL] Person, place, or thing — what am I? (ding!) Do the action, say it loud — what am I? (zap!)

[HOST] I name your puppy, your park, your pickle, your shoe, your grandma, your goldfish, the moon and the zoo! [KID] A naming word... a person, place, or thing — [NOUNA] ding! — that's me, Nouna! Watch me swing!

[HOST] Next! This one's busy — never sits still, it runs, it wiggles, it gulps, it spills! [KID] The doing word — the action, the go — [VERBO] ding! — I'm Verbo! Hop, skip, throw!

[ALL] Person, place, or thing — what am I? (ding!) Do the action, say it loud — what am I? (zap!)

[HOST] Now here's a sneaky one, hangs by a noun, makes it fuzzy or spotty or biggest in town! [KID] Which one? What kind? It paints the thing — [ADJIE] ding! — Adjie here! A purple-y zing!

[HOST] And THIS one snuggles a verb instead, tells how and when and where it sped! [KID] "Quick-ly," "soft-ly," "yesterday," "high" — [ADVERBIA] ding! — Ad-VER-bee-uh, flyin' by!

[ALL] Person, place, or thing — what am I? (ding!) Do the action, say it loud — what am I? (zap!)

[HOST] One left! It bursts out — a feeling, a spark, no other job, just a shout in the dark! [KID] "Wow!" "Yikes!" "Hooray!" — it pops with a cheer — [INTERJECTO] ding! — In-ter-JEK-toh! Whee, I'm here!

[ALL] Snap us together, click-click-clack, build a whole sentence and shout it back! [NOUNA & VERBO] A noun and a verb is a sentence to start — [ADJIE & ADVERBIA & INTERJECTO] add the rest and — wow! — it's a work of art!

[HOST] Atoms stack to molecules — that's the Fundament way... [ALL] words stack to a sentence — same dance, one rung up today!

[ALL] Person, place, or thing — what am I? (ding!) Do the action, say it loud — what am I? (zap!)

ding-ding-ding! [HOST] Five little word-jobs... build the whole talk.
