Instructions As I read through the children’s version of the play text, listen to when your character is part of the scene and enter the stage (centre of the circle). In role as your character, use your body and facial expressions according to the storyline. Be dramatic!!!

Instructions (Casselman) I need two volunteers with clear voices to read the story As the story is read listen to when your character is part of the scene and enter the stage (centre of the circle). In role as your character, use your body and facial expressions according to the storyline. Be dramatic! It’s more funny for me that way
