'Act & Sing 1' offers you 3 amusing playlets in simple English which are quick to produce without great effort. Each piece lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, making them ideal for performances both in class and at parents’ evenings or special school occasions. Working on the mini musicals enables pupils to learn using all of their senses. The work supports social learning, making use of all the senses and promoting teamwork and creativity; early foreign language teaching, by providing playful, graphic, and active access to the language; music teaching by allowing pupils to experience the relationship between music and language, and through the opportunities for performing that it provides. All of the songs are always sung by the class, so no solo voices are needed. The accompanying voices and instrumental pieces provided can be added as desired. As aids to orientation and learning, the accompanying CD contains complete performances of all the musicals, spoken and sung by native speakers. In addition, the CD contains playback versions of all the pieces so that they can be performed without instruments.
