Play script - change text extract into play script (BFG & Worst Witch).

(0)
There are text extracts of BFG & Worst Witch that can be used for children to convert to plays. The BFG sheet is slightly easier than the Worst Witch, if you want to use the two tasks for differentiation. If you prefer, you can use either the BFG or Worst Witch answers sheet as an example starter activity to show how the texts have been changed, before getting pupils to complete the activity on the other text. There is also a sheet outlining the rules for play scripts.
