Based on unusual folktales from around the world, these plays encourage children to learn about culture, expressions of culture, and messages of cultural appreciation. 

Versatile, easy plays for all sizes of children's groups 

Written to be performed by children in upper elementary grades, ages 8-12, each play includes production information and learning activities in various curriculum areas.

They can be "garage" or "living room" plays, performed by a family or neighborhood group of children.

They can be club plays, performed by children at a Boys & Girls Club, scouting club, or church group.

And of course, they can be classroom plays, performed by a class of 15-25 children.

Uncommon Folktale Plays are designed with these elements:

* Parts that can be performed by the same children playing different roles; or enough parts for every member of a larger group to have a role.

* Very few gender roles:

   - parts can be performed by male or female performers,

   - no gender references in the plays, ie: "he" or "she".

* Simple settings and props.

* Performance times generally between 20-30 minutes.

* Short lines, easy to remember.
