Holi Hindu Spring Festival of Colours Assembly
A riot! An explosion of colour! Well, not quite. It's those wretched Health and Safety Regulations spoiling all the fun again. That, and a teacher who's prime concern is not to upset the caretaker.
But never fear, fun usually succeeds at finding a way through - and there is a great deal of Bollywood dancing and laughter along the way! Oh plus some facts behind the festival of course!
Cast of 30. Duration 10 - 20 minutes depending on amount of music/dancing

Narrator: Er wait a minute! Don’t go spilling any of that blue paint on this floor!
Krishna: But that’s the fun of Holi!
Radha: Everyone does it!
Narrator: Not on my watch, they don’t!
(Narrator ushers Krishna, his mother and Radha back to their seats)
Narrator: (Sighing heavily) Phew! That was a close one! Things could have got well out of hand then!
(To Group 1) Come on children! Let’s hear some more about Holi!
Child 11: Only if we can have a bit more dancing, first!
Narrator: (Spluttering) But, but … that’s blackmail!
(Group 1 all nod their heads)

Child 4: So, we can have some more dancing, instead?
(Narrator gestures dancers, who’ve got to their feet again, to sit down)
