Perfect for class assemblies or drama productions our editable How the platypus got his shape playscript can be adapted for as few as six children or as many as 16 (with non-speaking parts for others).

Use alongside the media literacy lesson, ‘A class production’. It is perfect for class assembly and can be used in its current form or edited to suit the age and ability of your cast. Remember that, especially with younger children, acting out the story and ad-libbing dialogue also works well.
