Questions / instructions:
In this activity your team is going to read a play. Try to enjoy doing the play, and to make it sound as interesting and realistic as you can. You don't have to dress up, and you don't have to do any acting unless you want to.

Before you get ready for the play, I will tell you what it is about. The play is called "Three Woolly Lambs". There are 4 characters in the play. They are called Little Woolly Lamb, Middle Woolly Lamb, Big Woolly Lamb, and Taniwha. In this play the terrifying Taniwha wants to eat the woolly lambs. But they cleverly stop the Taniwha.

Before you do the play, I want you to practise reading it through together one time. After that you can talk about how you are going to make it really good. It is important to think of ways to use your voices to make the play realistic and interesting. After you've practised it, you will do it again for a special recording on the video. To get started, I will tell each of you the part you will play. After you've practised it once, you can change who does the parts if you want to.

Here are the copies of the play.
Tell each child the part they will play, ensuring that less confident readers are given shorter parts to read. Taniwha is the longest part, the middle woolly lamb the next longest, and the big woolly lamb and little woolly lamb are of similar lengths.
