Kids love to play! These short plays and scenes are great for students to use to put on a show. Playmaking is a craft. A play is something you build with your friends! Ask yourself: Who'll direct it? Where do we get the costumes, & props? How will we create the sound effects? Who'll turn on/off the lights? Play scripts are fantastic tools for teaching Group interaction; Creativity & Expression; Technical skills; Language, including ESL And so much more! Includes: ""Djinn Rummage"" in which self-centered Doreen finds a genie at a rummage sale. ""All that Glitters"" in which the bumbling Behr Brothers thought they had struck gold when they kidnapped the heiress to the Golden Throne port-a-pottie empire. ""Candy is Dandy,"" a macabre modern take on the classic ""Hansel & Gretal."" Select scenes from ""Cindy Claus Versus the Easter Bunny"" (the sequel to ""Cindy Claus Saves Christmas"").
