stage plays for 10 to 12 years old children

[Aurelianus]

I'm organising a roman school camp this summer in Augusta Raurica.

This camp will get prepared in terms of "children-experts-groups".
Two of the groups have to prepare a roman theatre each.

Does anybody have stage plays for 10 to 12 years old children? Perhaps even in German?

Any help would be great!!!!!!!


Here you can see some pictures from my last roman school camp:

That is a marvellous camp! The photos are stunning of the activities. How did you arrange all that?

Hi Richard

... with a lot of research an work. Don't ask me, how I have been able to get all the time to prepare the camp and to make the equipment..... ask my wife .....

It took me about 1000 hours. My father, some friends, some parents of my pupils and my pupils putted total in several hundreds of hour in this project too.

End of all it was worth the whole work.

WOW, congratulations, that looks FABULOUS!! Geez, wish I were a kid again...

Not sure I can help you with plays, since the ones I know are NOT really for kids. ("Lysistrata" springs to mind...) Heck, there have to be some decent ones out there, or at least some cleaned-up versions.

Very cool stuff. Vale,

Matthew

Just a thought - Daniyal Steelcrafts makes kid size helmets and Lorica Seg-
Also I believe they are getting ready to make felt (child safe) Gladii and Pugios with scabbards!

Greetings Aurelianus

Great looking camp -- I have no doubt my grandson would love it.

As to plays...

I would assume you want plays dealing with the Greek myths, Homeric legends, Aesop, etc.

Would you consider any from other cultures?

I will do some checking to see what I can find. My wife has done a lot of work in this field (using drama in elementary and secondary education programs) and she may have some texts that could be of use to you.

In any case best of luck to you on this year's camp.

Laudes for sure! amazing effort! can any of it be captured for use elsewhere?

Great to have the girls handle weapons and try soldier skills also!
Did any of them want to/get to play Gladiator? Maybe you should have
extra soldier's tunics for the girls also! I have 16 grandchildren and some
of the girls sometimes like to play Roman soldiers too!

Dang....wish I had teachers like you when I was a kid!

Great effort, hope you have great success with these! 8)

Where was that theater in the picture?

Hi David

Yes of course. If I would have a good play I could easily adapt it to a roman play. The play shouldn’t be much longer than 15 minute.
