The Storytellers - Year 6 Show
This is a show written by myself for year 6. It has also got chorus numbers for KS2. The storytellers take you through a variety of different stories to learn about books. There are some great songs incorporated in the show! The stories included are: Matilda, Oliver, the Wind in the Willows, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mary Poppins, the Wizard of Oz and the BFG. There are enough parts for 32 children to have 2 parts each. The script is included along with the songs for KS2 and the props and costumes list.
It is priced at this price point due to the amount of work going into the script. It took me 2 months to make and perfect. It is a really high quality show, we performed it last year as a class and it was really well recieved.
It is saved as a word document so you are able to edit it!
