Children of the World Class Play or Assembly

Children of the World Class Play or Assembly
Cast of 30 (easily adapted up or down)
Duration: Reading time: 10 - 15 minutes; this does not include music selections, and can be extended with the addition of more jokes
I have recently updated this script. It was originally written for children whose first language was not English so the language was very simple. I have added to the content – so it is suitable for the whole of Key Stage II, with the proviso that it may need a little simplification/shortening for Years 3 to 4. I work on the basis that it is easier to simplify text/take out chunks than it is to add on. I think this has made the script more rounded and complete.
This script is a celebration of children around the world. It has a serious quality - addressing such issues as the importance of celebrating diversity in our world; but a great deal of fun too - with a large selection of jokes - some or all of which may be used at the discretion of the teacher!
Narrator: (Clutching his head) But sorry, I’m just not getting this! How can you children, from every corner of the world, have anything in common? You lead such different lives!
Child 11: That’s true. We have different religions
Child 12: We have different hobbies
Child 13: We listen to different music
Child 14: We sing different songs!
Child 15: But we are all part of this amazing thing called humanity!
Child 16: And we should never let our differences stand between us!
Other PSHE scripts written by Sue Russell:
• You are Not Alone – Anti-Bullying Assembly
• Rock Star – Self Esteem Assembly based on Hannah Montana
• P.R.I.D.E. Assembly and Guided Reading Scripts - set out to demonstrate the importance of P.R.I.D.E. - an acronym for Positive attitude; Respect for yourself and others; the ability to make Intelligent decisions; time to Dream; and not forgetting all the Effort that needs to be put in - in all walks of life. The sport (basketball) can be easily replaced by another. This Class Play provides the perfect way of demonstrating what it takes to make it in life - the kind of success story all children can aspire to. I have used these to cover many events e.g. World Cup (football and rugby), Olympics etc.
