1109.0. "Kids and Drama?" by DEMON::PANGAKIS (Tara DTN 227-3781) Mon Mar 18 1996 11:41

I'm looking for a book oF children's "interactive plays."

By interactive, I mean where the audience participates.  We recently
went to EPCOT at Disney World and we saw some "street
performers" do a show.  It was narrated by a cast of characters
and when they said a word (like The King) the audience would shout
"Hail to the King" and so on.

My daughter and her cousins tried to re-create this over the weekend
and were frustrated.  I think they'd have more success with guidance
(everyone here is under the age of 7).  I assume a grown-up would
narrate and "control" the theatrics at family gatherings!

Any advice or pointers?

    Tara,
    
    We do these all the time in Cub Scouts.  Check out the 
    NOTED::SCOUTING notesfile.  I know that there are some
    in there.  Do a Notes> Dir/title=skit - that should help.
    
    Also, if you have a scouting shop around (call the local
    Boy Scout office) there is a whole book of these skits
    for less than 5.00.

    Thanks!
    
    I'll check out the scouting shop; the scouting notes file
    seems geared towards older boys and camping themes (as it should!)
    
    I'm thinking more along the lines of re-telling Little Red Riding
    Hood or something like that.
