Script:  The teacher is the narrator and is included in the play action. Thus the teacher can help, prompt and set the pace of the play while following the easy script.  This format will allow the teacher and the children to concentrate on singing together and performing the fun movements of the songs.

Using the scenery suggestion; you select which elements  you would  like to use.

Included there is an easy to print invitation.    Your children can color and fill it out, or you can prepare the invitations ahead of time to send home.  This is a digital file so it can be emailed as well.

Make your own unique Program by taking a group photo of your children with a cell phone; drop   it into the Text Box on the Program digital template.   Then list the names of the children and the songs to be performed, print it and you’re done!

The costumes list is simple, you can just accessorize by adding granny glasses to Mother Goose and the “Old woman in a Shoe”.   The children can mime using imaginary teacups and a teapot for Sukie and Polly as well as Mistress Mary’s watering can.  There is a fun costume idea for a spider to sit beside Miss Muffett.  Lazy Mary can carry a blanket and so forth.
Don’t want costumes?  Here’s an alternative, print the iron on t-shirt template and make everyone a t-shirt or print it and pin it to his or her shirt the day of the performance, they’ll look great.
