2. The Plan….
We will…Learn how to write a script for children.

3. Begin by: Brainstorming:
What parts of the story do you want to include?
What 2 things you want to add that weren’t in the story?

4. Make it Silly
Know your audience, kids are more open to silliness and creativity.
Kids need a silly story and over the top characters to keep them interested.

5. Keep it Simple Don’t make the plot too complex
Use words kids will know (don’t use big words they might not understand)

6. Teach a Lesson Don’t preach…but… Use your play to teach them something
Children are still developing morals and ethics, help them learn.
