Covid 19 Sleeping Beauty, Tchaikovsky for Children. Martin Luther King, Jr - Environmental Issues

For Primary School

I made this musical video with story telling, interactive dance, listening to music and related puppet / mask making activities during Lockdown 2020 for fun at home and also in school. Martin Luther King, Jr lived in Atlanta, Georgia, where the ballet scenes were performed.

PDF sheets included.

Solo musicians on the piano and violin blend with the music played by a full orchestra.

Opportunities for movement and mime to a scene where Prince Florimund, his friends and their horses explore the magical forest.

Time for quiet reflection to gentle music.

It includes 4 short scenes from the ballet that blend with the story and
offer an introduction to this type of theatre which many children are very unfamiliar with.

Do some research to find out more about Martin Luther King, Jr with a friend or teacher.

It includes making puppet characters and masks out of very simple materials
that might be found in recycling bins etc.

A colouring in sheet gives opportunities to think about how the natural environment can be helped.

A Disney Song excerpt at the very end which is based on Tchaikovsky’s Music.
