Musical/multi sensory story for Special Needs for KS 1/ - PMLD SLD ASD The sun is down, the moon is up, and it’s past bedtime. But outside the castle there’s an awful lot of noise! Will the princess ever get to sleep? Winner of the British Book Award when it was first published in 1993 This is a dramatic interactive story. The emphasis is to create atmosphere and tension through the music, light and staff participation. I have given clear guidance on how to structure the session, including music recommendations and necessary stimuli and props required. This sensory story is laid out in a simple format of: Do, Say, Play and additional info In each category it tells the teacher what staff are doing, what the teacher is saying, and what music is playing. Each ‘scene’ is threaded together using the text/rhyme from the story. The story has an obvious build-up of tension where pupils have opportunities to express their excitement and anticipation. I am a Drama teacher with over 20 years’ experience teaching SEN including PMLD SLD MLD and ASD. Unlike many sensory stories I focus upon creating tension and atmosphere through light, shadows, music, sound effects and staff call and response. I am new to posting resources on TES but please keep an eye out for more dramatic interactive stories.

10 minute funny Christmas play called ‘When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney.’ Cast between 5 and 10 characters. Play is suitable for KS 1 and special needs learners. Staff member to play Mother Christmas. Father Christmas to be played by vocal student with only a few lines. The rest of the cast of elves, snowman, reindeers and angels do a short movement sequence based around ‘head shoulders knees and Toes’. The play is for 5 pupils but pupils can double up on characters. The play is very simple and very effective. I have had many groups perform this play with great success. Parents will just love seeing their child in this funny skit. I have attached the staging layout with the play. Please take a look at my other Christmas lessons, skits and plays.
