Children learn more when they are actively engaged in the lessons they have to learn. They can explore the world by joining fun plays that introduce them to conflicts and resolutions.

The Spirit of Christmas is Peace by Linda DeGree is a children’s story that follows an alien learning about the true meaning of Christmas through a choir of children and a band of angels. The story is written as a play for a cast of 35 students. Author Linda DeGree creates an engaging story that allows kids to immerse themselves into a world where they also learn from the lessons they are teaching.

Fun plays for children are not only for adults’ entertainment. It is an avenue where children get to become their own medium of learning moral lessons. In the case of Linda DeGree’s story, the kids will learn the true meaning of Christmas, which is not about money or gifts but about peace and a sense of family as they tell about how Jesus was born as a result of God’s love for us.

Other than DeGree’s play, here are other fun plays that teachers can use to immerse their students into the world of theatre, where they learn important lessons:

Alice in Wonderland

We all know the story of Alice and how she follows a bunny into the rabbit hole and gets into an eerie yet interesting place where everything is not what seems to be. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll is one of those fun plays that introduces kids to exploring things and learning lessons from an adventure. The musical play’s lesson is about embracing one’s true self and accepting one’s flaws while living in a society with impossible standards.

Peter and the Starcatcher

Peter Pan is a familiar story that most parents and guardians would tell their kids before bedtime. With this, they get familiar with the boy and his fairy, Tinker Bell. Peter and the Starcatcher by Rick Elice is one of those fun plays that reintroduce an iconic character in his origin story. The play follows Peter as he meets the young Molly Aster, the future mother of Wendy, guarding a treasure trunk filled with star stuff that grants the magic of flight. This play allows the kids to explore Peter’s world and learn the lessons of teamwork, caring for each other, perseverance, and the power of sticking together.

The Jungle Book

One of the most fun plays that kids can enjoy exploring is The Jungle Book by Briandaniel Oglesby, adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale. In this play, children get to immerse themselves in Mowgli’s world as he searches for a home where he fits in. As children play their fun characters, they will also learn about being courageous enough to take risks and achieve their goals. The play conveys the lessons of confidently facing the fears and overcome their challenges.

Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables is another musical on the list. It is based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic book of the same name, following Anne Shirley, who must go through the trials of living in a home where farmers expect to get a boy from the orphanage. Instead, they got Anne, a quirky, freckle-faced, redheaded girl. This play allows the kids to navigate the lessons of forgiveness and give people a second chance at life. The heartwarming story also provides an avenue for kids to learn about loving oneself in an environment with impossible expectations.

A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is a classic that kids might be familiar with, especially during the Christmas season. The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge as he learns about his fate with the help of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. It is one of those fun plays where kids will discover the importance of kindness and learn the truth that money will not make a person truly happy. It also conveys a message about the true meaning of Christmas and spending time with loved ones.

Just like in The Spirit of Christmas is Peace by Linda DeGree, immersing the kids in fun plays allows them to explore more about the lessons they are about to convey. Including them in engaging activities help them learn more and discover a world of possibilities and future passions.
