This activity is thorough for keeping children occupied and out regarding the method with their secret rehearsals. Release them all the encouragement they should obtain started and make sure they have knowledge of to hold things simple. Older children tend to like directing, writing scripts, sorting out costumes and props, and being the narrator. Younger children are usually greatest at playing the central roles. Agree on a fairytale and decide who's who.
Break below the story into no higher than 5 scenes. All the characters should introduce themselves to audience when they first appear within the story, but then limit their components to a little lines each per scene. The narrator can fill in any gaps within the storyline and hold things moving along. There are some essential ingredients. There should be a baddie with an evil laugh that the audience can boo.
3 characters should have an argument that involves yelling, Oh no I didn't! and, Oh yes you did! With an opportunity for the baddie to hide conspicuously, such that the audience can shout: He is behind you! And, of course, there is the happy ending, full of New year's cheer. If there is any spare rehearsal time, the children can even draw tickets and a poster for the show.
