The classroom is a stage

By Carlos Gontow

This book is a valuable resource for English teachers. It offers a selection of 40 short plays that can be used by students of English at all levels and at all ages.
It's very easy to find a play that is appropriate for your students. And if you don't find one, the book also includes suggestions on how to adapt the plays.
All the sketches can be done in the classroom, with very simple scenery and props. Students can present them in front of the class, just reading their lines. You can also use these sketches as an extra-class activity and get students from different classes to put on a play and present it to the whole school.

SOME SUGGESTIONS:

To set the scene for the bookstore, get a bookcase and fill it with books.

You can use a table for a counter. The clerk can stand behind the counter.

You also need a chair or an armchair, where the customer sits at the end.

Get an old telephone directory to be the dictionary. Make a cover for it with paper and write Oxfurd Dictionary of English. Because it’s old, you can rip off some pages and it will be funny because it’s a very thick book.
