This 2-part, reproducible mini-musical is a Rise and Shine musical specifically designed to be performed on choral risers. This format enables directors to provide their students with a valuable performance opportunity while putting the rehearsal process on the fast track to success. The emphasis in this musical is on being a good sport. A number of elements that contribute to athletic success are also included. Helpful suggestions are incorporated into the rhyming script and the lyrics of each song. With good sportsmanship as the main theme, students are reminded to follow the rules, keep their ego in check, play fair and square, eat right, exercise, use self-control, play to the best of their ability, and have a positive attitude. At the end of the musical, the coach reminds the players that it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game! With an easy-to-memorize rhyming script and reproducible singer pages available on the CD-ROM that comes with the Teacher Book, this musical is perfect for your kids in Grades 2-5.
