There usually isn't a script which judges are required to follow. Often a judge will have written their own script, which they will have memorized, for what to say. Most commonly, this runs along the lines of: "Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached a verdict?" (Yes, your honor.) "Please read that verdict before the court." The judge could say just about anything they wanted - the important part is that he asks the jury to speak the verdict aloud so that it is part of the record.
