Red Riding Hood 1st half

We decided to open with Narration (a story telling technique) as this will grab the attention of the audience and we can build the character of Little Red. We then have a part where Red is looking for her basket and it is behind her, this will get some audience participation that will hold the children's attention. After Red has her basket we all sing a song about Red going to deliver treats to her sick grandmother the use of music should entertain the children and hold their attention.

After we skip off, we become trees and as the big bad wolf comes past us we become afraid. We then introduce the wolf with another song of Mr grinch (Mr wolf) The use of the song will entertain the children and hold their attention. Then little red comes back on stage, the wolf hides behind a tree and Little red announces she is lost to the audience. We then have a comedic moments where red walks from stage left to stage right but always walking towards the wolf as the wolf keeps running in front of her hopefully this will get someone audience interaction as the children will tell little red which way to go. I feel however that we need to go over this as without the mirror there the trees can't see where the Wolf is and so won't point in the right direction and our timing is always off, I feel we need to reassess how we going to do this. 

Once we organise this moment, red then gives up and notices a flower, as she bends over to pick up the flower the Wolf walks up behind her to grab her but she bends over and he misses. When red stands back up, she hits him in the face with her basket, this will make the children laugh.
