THE STORY OF JOSEPH
A completely new version of the Old Testament story written especially for 9 to 11 year olds. With nine totally new singable songs too.

Welcome to Plays4kidz - here you will find perfect drama and music resources for children. Every play and song on this site has been written specifically for young people to perform - and written by someone who has spent his life educating children and young people.

I'm Robert Smith and I've got historical plays, pantomimes, plays for Christmas, plays for all times of year with songs and music and resources for assembles. All of them are suitable for schools, drama classes, young theatre groups.

If you need songs to accompany well-known and well-loved stories, such as Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I've got those too. If you have an assembly coming up, and need some ideas, have a look at my easy-to-learn songs for The Fire of London, Seaside Holidays, St. George and Robin Hood.

Or maybe you just want a song to go along with work you are doing. I've got songs about Teeth, Harvest Time, Mother's Day, and many more. Drop me a line (email) with your requirements and I'll get back to you quickly.

Comments about my plays

Thank you for a fantastic script, great songs and enthusiastic support.

(about THE STORY OF JOSEPH)

Another play - another triumph! Everybody, and I mean everybody was impressed - and who wouldn't be by such a magnificent performance by a group of Pre-Primary students. For Father Christmas and Mary Christmas to learn so many words was a tremendous feat. And there were children who had to be talked into giving speaking parts and go and truly believed they couldn't do it. It was wonderful to see them blossom and deliver their lines with confidence and enjoyment. A good time was had by all! A grandparent who was in the audience and has worked in early childhood for many years said that she has seen dozens of Pre-Primary concerts and that ours was the best that she has ever seen.
Keep writing your terrific plays so that we can keep performing them.

We performed your Ballad of Bold St George in the summer, which was a wonderful play and performed by pupils from 4 - 11. They really enjoyed the play, in particular they loved "I'm a Roman Soldier" so I thought I would try another of your plays. Could you send me the play and CD of songs for the Snow Queen.....
