Acting with your pupils!

I worked in an English Summer Camp with Spanish children. One of the activities we had to do was preparing a theatre to perform it later.

They were 8 years old and we did something like "Finding Nemo". We tried every child to have the same importance so it couldn't be any main character. Here is the play.You can find a simple play that you could adapt to the number of characters you need or the level your pupils have. At the end we choose the song "If you are happy" to have a good time all together!

To dress up we made some masks and wear some clothes that outfit to the colors of it. The masks were made with newspaper, glue (the white one to become the paper harder) and some paint. They really enjoyed creating them! These are some:


Jellyfish and Octopus:



Some starfishes:



Sailor hat and Nemo:




Maybe you could try performing it to other students at the school!
