TEENAGERS FOR PARENTS - A TEENAGE PLAY WITH MUSIC
This is a teenage play I wrote for my teenage sts to talk about their problems to their parents, through old songs their parents can relate to(Queen, from Hair, Sinatra, Cabaret, etc.). It consists of several scenes, each like a newsflash about teenage problems, followed by a song. It�s editable - you can shorten songs, cut out some scenes etc. It ...

Just the other day we talked about this game in the forum, and I remembered I had it on paper in handwritten notes. So, here is my version. It�s a great game to play with teenagers, but also adults.

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD - lyrics detectives
This is a ws based on listening to Natasha Bedingfield�s 2 songs. It�s a fill-in and a synonyms� fill-in, and her songs are not bad listening practice, because she sings very clearly and kids (esp teenagers) like the songs. I even used Soulmate as a dictation later on and they liked doing it like that (although, for a singing dictation, I would alw...
