Let's Make a Scene! Short Plays and Scenes for Grade School Performers M.j. Gallagher

Kids love to play! These short plays and scenes are great for students to use to put on a show. Playmaking is a craft. A play is something you build with your friends! Ask yourself: Who'll direct it? Where do we get the costumes, & props? How will we create the sound effects? Who'll turn on/off the lights? Play scripts are fantastic tools for teaching Group interaction; Creativity & Expression; Technical skills; Language, including Esl And so much more! Includes: "Djinn Rummage": in which self-centered Doreen finds a genie at a rummage sale. "All that Glitters": in which the bumbling Behr Brothers thought they had struck gold when they kidnapped the heiress to the Golden Throne port-a-pottie empire. "Candy is Dandy," a macabre modern take on the classic "Hansel & Gretal." Select scenes from "Cindy Claus Versus the Easter Bunny" (the sequel to "Cindy Claus Saves Christmas"). "Birdbrains," sitcom-style mini-episodes about best friends Sydney ("the Brain") and fun-loving, goofy Bird & their friends!
