A full SOW for the ‘Noughts and Crosses’ play for year 9. 21 lessons including a knowledge organiser and assessment.

This is a lesson I have created for my GCSE students to get familiar with the role play task. To begin with, we look at question words and their translation into English. Then, I explain to them the difference between qué and cuál, which is often confunsing for them. Afterwards, students attempt 5 different role plays on a mix of different topics. This lesson includes a starter, plenary and homework task. The file is a PPT so it is completely editable. All answers and model answers embedded in PPT.

FRENCH VERSION COMING SOON! This clear and thorough workbook will prepare AQA Spanish students for the role play in their GCSE speaking exam. Students often perform badly in the role play due to poor exam strategy and a lack of familiarity with the success criteria. This workbook aims to tackle common errors and misconceptions and provide opportunities to overlearn useful techniques to ensure success on this question. It includes thirty role plays based on past paper questions along with model answers, a self-assessment checklist, and helpful tips and reminders on each page. It begins with a student-friendly breakdown of what is required in this part of the exam, and will allow students to prepare independently and understand how to succeed. It also has two helpful exam mark sheets at the back for informal classroom practice or mock exam feedback.

This is a fully editable script of the play Aladdin, inspired by the 2019 film. Music backing tracks and incidental music can be found online. This is perfect as a Year 6 Leavers play. It lasts around 70 to 80 minutes if you include all of the music. I performed it with 40 children but it can be adapted for fewer or more parts. I have also included a props/scenery list (which may need checking) and a costume list with photographs.

Elf tells the story of ‘Buddy the Elf’ who was accidentally taken to the North Pole in Santa’s sack one Christmas Eve. He stayed in the North Pole until adulthood and grew up thinking he was an elf himself. One day he found out he was a human, and decided to go and visit his biological father in New York. On arrival he wasn’t welcomed by his father until a DNA test reassured him that he was actually his son. The family grew to like Buddy, and he also found a girlfriend – but then everything changed when he fell out with his father one day and decided to leave. But as he was walking alone he heard a crash in Central Park, when he went to investigate he noticed it was his good friend, Santa. The family caught up with him and realised he had been telling the truth all along, he was in fact an elf from the North Pole. The friends and family all worked together to lift Christmas spirit and thus power Santa’s sleigh to ensure he could finish his deliveries. There are song recommendations throughout the script, with a mixture of traditional Christmas songs and modern songs. There are 20-22 speaking parts, with additional non-speaking roles too. I hope you have fun with it, my class had a ball! The play is around 40-50 minutes long. ⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚⏚ For more great resources check out Creative Primary Literacy

A funny play loosely based on the Grinch by Dr. Seuss, and the well known movie. The story revolves around the town of Whoville, where all the Whos love Christmas. In fact they love Christmas so much it is all they talk about! However, a mysterious outcast lives to the North of the town; this outcast hates Christmas and anything to do with the festive time of year. This outcast is called the Grinch! The play follows the story of Cindy-Lou and her family as they open up to the Grinch, and try to show him what Christmas is all about. However, the Grinch has his own plans to ruin Christmas for the town, and steals all the presents on Christmas eve. He has a change of heart however when he hears the town enjoying Christmas even though he had stolen all of the presents. His heart grows and he quickly returns the gifts and takes part in all the festivities. There are song recommendations throughout the script, with a mixture of traditional Christmas songs and modern songs. There are 28 speaking parts, with additional non-speaking roles too for up to 30 students. The play is around 40-50 minutes long. I hope you have fun with it, my class had a ball!

This is a script for a class of about 28 children but could easily be adapted to a smaller class. It tells the story of Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance, from the recruitment of the crew to the end of the voyage. It was used for an end-of-year 6 assembly as a culmination of their learning. We added in readings of newspaper reports, diary entries and poems but could easily be done without. We used 2 narrators.

This is a comprehensive study of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’. The scheme of work has been created with the aim of introducing KS3 students to the tragedy genre in preparation for studying ‘Macbeth’ at KS4. The scheme of work takes students and teachers through the whole play, studying each scene and making links to other set texts at KS4 and KS5 such as Macbeth, Othello and A Christmas Carol. There is a lesson on every scene. Each lesson sets knowledge goals and introduces key vocabulary needed to achieve the highest grades when studying Shakespeare at KS4.

A basic scheme of work aimed at weaker students that you can build on and develop for students of higher ability. Eleven powerpoints guide you through the text with ideas for development. Many storyboards of the action are included to reinforce understanding of the plot. Background work includes a powerpoint on Mary Shelley and the history of the discovery of electricity.

A humorous re-write of the story / pantomime of Cinderella, designed to be performed in under 5 minutes. Adaptable / editable Word document, so you can make your own changes & add your own children to the attached cast list. Ideal for class assembly, this has gone down well at year 6 leavers’ assemblies. Great prompt for more able writers to write their own humorous ‘in 5 minutes’ versions of other well-known stories / pantomimes. To perform, it has 9 speaking parts, plus around a dozen non-speaking / crew / sound effect parts. If you liked this, search and download one of my other ‘in 5 minutes’ scripts. Cinderella in 5 minutes Goldilocks and the Three Bears in 5 minutes
