The play will include conventions of rhythm and rhyme, as well as cover the basic process of creating a play from outlining to final draft, but in a simplified, shared and supported format. We will spend time moving and playing theatre games, using these exercises as springboards for our writing. The session will conclude with a presentation of our original play and each child will receive a copy of the script written by the class.
