A Kid's Life was one of the most fun shows to prepare for! The students and I gathered t-shirts for their costume! They got to pick the font of "A Kid's Life" for their shirt - I ironed it on and off we went designing their costumes. The creativity and patients they had to make their shirts the best they could was fantastic - they wore them very proudly during their show.
The show story and songs were a blast for the kids to sing to - but also for their backdrop. The show was all about how the power goes out and the kids have nothing to do - no computers, tvs, all cell phones are dead - all hand held games are dead - they are in distress. Grandma and Grandpa come over to watch the kids while Mom and Dad are at work. The grandparents teach the kids how to play board games, card games, tell ghost stories, make silly instruments to play in a band, make paper air planes, jump rope and so much more. All these activities made designing the background a lot of fun.I drew it out, the kids painted it, and I outlined it! It was beyond amazing!
