How to stage Body Rock As a Musical
There are eleven main characters in the play and ten other speaking characters. However, each body character has its own scene within which you can add as many characters as you like. Therefore the play can be performed by either twenty or up to a hundred children! It works well when the eldest children play the main characters and younger age groups help sing the songs with actions.Or in the classroom
Body Rock can also be used in the classroom to spice up a science lesson. For example, if you are studying the human body and you were learning about 'the heart', you could learn the song, "Harry Heart" to accompany your learning. All the songs are packed with useful facts and we all remember so much more when we learn it in a song.Has your school been Body Rocked!?
