A full SOW for the ‘Noughts and Crosses’ play for year 9. 21 lessons including a knowledge organiser and assessment.

This is a lesson I have created for my GCSE students to get familiar with the role play task. To begin with, we look at question words and their translation into English. Then, I explain to them the difference between qué and cuál, which is often confunsing for them. Afterwards, students attempt 5 different role plays on a mix of different topics. This lesson includes a starter, plenary and homework task. The file is a PPT so it is completely editable. All answers and model answers embedded in PPT.

Myself and my Year 6 team put together a fantastic Year 6 production of Shrek and I thought others may be interested. We split the roles between our 45 children. We had some children double/triple up on one role e.g. we had 3 different Shreks, 3 Fionas, 3 Donkeys, 2 Lord Farquaads and a narrator, as well as many other cast members. I used the script from the original movie and adapted and cut out bits - like the dragon falling in love with the donkey. It took around 45minutes-1hour to perform. I hope this is useful for someone. I absolutely loved doing it and would definitely do it again in the future!

Re-uploaded after accidental deletion! Over 100 downloads and performances of this script so far! An exciting and easily adaptable play suitable for your end of term or Year Six leaving performance. Currently with 37 parts with the scope to add more lines in if more parts needed.

Opportunity for a dance group to perform.

FRENCH VERSION COMING SOON! This clear and thorough workbook will prepare AQA Spanish students for the role play in their GCSE speaking exam. Students often perform badly in the role play due to poor exam strategy and a lack of familiarity with the success criteria. This workbook aims to tackle common errors and misconceptions and provide opportunities to overlearn useful techniques to ensure success on this question. It includes thirty role plays based on past paper questions along with model answers, a self-assessment checklist, and helpful tips and reminders on each page. It begins with a student-friendly breakdown of what is required in this part of the exam, and will allow students to prepare independently and understand how to succeed. It also has two helpful exam mark sheets at the back for informal classroom practice or mock exam feedback.

A funny play loosely based on the Grinch by Dr. Seuss, and the well known movie. The story revolves around the town of Whoville, where all the Whos love Christmas. In fact they love Christmas so much it is all they talk about! However, a mysterious outcast lives to the North of the town; this outcast hates Christmas and anything to do with the festive time of year. This outcast is called the Grinch! The play follows the story of Cindy-Lou and her family as they open up to the Grinch, and try to show him what Christmas is all about. However, the Grinch has his own plans to ruin Christmas for the town, and steals all the presents on Christmas eve. He has a change of heart however when he hears the town enjoying Christmas even though he had stolen all of the presents. His heart grows and he quickly returns the gifts and takes part in all the festivities. There are song recommendations throughout the script, with a mixture of traditional Christmas songs and modern songs. There are 28 speaking parts, with additional non-speaking roles too for up to 30 students. The play is around 40-50 minutes long. I hope you have fun with it, my class had a ball!

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TOWARDS OUR YEAR 6 RESIDENTIAL TRIP * Hours and hours went into this last year, so I’m really keen to save someone else the trouble! Here is the extensive script and playlist (as well as other extras*) for our Year 6 production inspired by ‘The Greatest Showman’. The script is based on the film and can accomodate enough characters for a two form entry school. Some parts can be scaled up or down depending on how many children you have. The script was designed for Year 6, but could easily be adapted for KS3. The running time was approximately 1hr 15mins. We loved creating this production and can’t wait to put it on again in a couple of years. We really hope this helps someone out there :) Enjoy Extras include a costume list, props, and ticket template

ALL PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS YEAR 6 RESIDENTIAL TRIP * Hours of blood, sweat and tears went into this production so I am hoping to save someone this effort! This fantastic production (inspired by Bugsy Malone the movie) was written for a cast of around 50-60 (two form entry but not everyone wanted an acting role). Parts can be scaled up or down depending on how many children you have. The running time was around 1hr 15mins. It got lots of laughs and was really impressive. The children loved wearing suits and pretending to be gangsters…I can’t wait to do this production again in a couple of years. We hope this helps other Year 6 teachers out there! This package includes a script, playlist , cast list, costume and props list as well as tickets template. Thanks for looking :)

a revision mat on various phrases and structures useful for the role play in the French IGCSE speaking exam

A powerpoint which I used with Year 11 to help them understand what to expect in the role-play element of the speaking exam. There are some slides to help them make sense of what’s being asked of them on the card, some useful sentence starters, the mark scheme (higher) and a worked example at the end on the theme of free time.

I have collated exam board role play sample assessment materials in the style of Edexcel to support my students in their independent preparation. The only exam board missing is Edexcel, as these are the SAMs we are using for PPE speakings. These are printed to then be cut as two A5 laminated sheets kept together with short treasury tags for easy organisation. Pupils can use these as examples to help them to practise how to prepare for their speaking exams. There are 26 Foundation tasks, and 18 Higher tier tasks.
