What kids do
Printed on the sheet:
- A play needs more than actors. Many people work on a show, and most of them are never seen by the audience.
- Draw a line from each job to what that person does.
Teacher tip
Ask kids which of the seven jobs they would pick, then have them stand in a group by job. Most of the class will learn the audience never sees these people.
How to use it
- Keep the word bank visible while kids work.
- Say each new word out loud with the class and give a quick example.
- Read the box at the top of the sheet together, then try the first item out loud as a class.
Watch for
Calling every helper “the director.” Many people run a show.
Talk about it
- What is the difference between a costume and a prop?
- What would you try differently next time?
Take it further
