Whether sticking close to the original, incorporating a chorus or instruments, or opting for a shorter adaptation, this material provides versatile options for an engaging shadow play. Not all children know the original fairy tales. Therefore, the scripts in this material were created in three versions, so that you can decide for yourself which version is most suitable for your students:
The Original: Retains classic elements like "Once upon a time..." and "happily ever after". Includes beloved fairy tale quotes.
With Chorus/Instruments: Allows participation for all, especially in classroom settings, with chorus or instrumental roles.
Short and Sweet: Ideal for captivating young audiences. Suitable for students with special educational needs.
Shadow theater is a great way to act out fairy tales. You can create a mysterious atmosphere in a darkened room. Using a table as a stage, the two-dimensionality of the shadow characters stimulate imagination and fantasy. In shadow theater, children are active in the storymaking. Cooperation, teamwork and a willingness to compromise are required. It takes a lot of patience and perseverance to carry out a performance from start to finish.
