Section: 3 [Act & Drama]
Act 1
A child gets on the stage and shows a board with "Act 1" written on it and says:
"We are in school together, but we have nothing to do, because all the teachers are in a meeting."
The child gets off the stage with the board and all the other kids in the cast get on.
1. (All boys) It's hot. Let's go to the beach.
2. (All girls) Yes ! That is a good idea.
Then all the kids have a line to say, one after the other. I numbered the lines for practical reasons, the numbers made it easier to sort out who should say what.
3. What things should we bring to the beach ?
4. We need a beach ball.
5. I've got a beach ball (holds up a big colourful ball).
6. And we need swimsuits.

14. We don't need a bus.
15. Why not ?
16. Because I just phoned my father and he can take us in his van.
17. Look, there is the van (pointing)
18. The van looks very nice.
19. Yes, let's get on the van.
20.(All children) Bye, bye everybody. We are going to the beach (waves to the parents).
