OK, it's a while since I posted something new! This is a response to a challenge thrown down yesterday by a local group who have been allocated some funding from European funds to do something 'creative' for schools on the theme of Road Safety.
It's a question of "use it or lose it" and they need to get their response in fast.
Any thoughts about the 'quality' (or otherwise!) of the piece will be appreciated! The Crossa Roada Liva Rap
Duration 5+ minutes <10 maximum Target Audience KS 1 / KS 2 Characters 2 boys, 2 girls (early teens.) Their costumes should be colour-coded, 2 in RED, 2 in GREEN Most effective if B1 + G1 wear RED, B2 + G2 wear GREEN. This will make it easy for audience to ‘identify' with actors.
