Just be thrown in the deep end and have to use the play which is in the text book for them to perform in front of class
All I have is that textbook .
How can I get the materials (pictures together with the skits) of the momotoro and the turnip or any other of those plays which i can choose for the kids .they need big cards with the skit written on the back .
And what's the best way to organise grouping for a class of 40.
Would really appreciate some help
Cheers

Welcome to the forums!

I would go down to the library and check out the 'kamishibai' version of the play. It's called 'ooki no kabu' in Japanese. It will have the lines for the play written out in Japanese. You could just write out the skit in English and tape them to the back. That would seem like the easiest method based on your explanation.

If the library doesn't have it, try the nearest kindergarten and ask if you can borrow theirs.
