Can be done in Classroom Setting.
Suitable for age 8 + the lesson begins with a movement warm-up with suggested Music/ Links.
This leads into the scripted sketch for Robert The Bruce in the cave with 6 spiders - humourous and very suitable for a Scots Entertainment.
Some spiders are in a cave, quite a few of them, all trying to spin webs, all having a few problems
All of a sudden the cave goes black as a huge human figure looms across the entrance and stumbles in. The spiders crawl away into cracks in the cave walls to observe this intruder.
They hear his defeatist attitude and overcoming their fear of him manage to instil in Bruce a confidence to persevere and keep on trying.
Key Skills - Mime, discussion, reading from short script developing into improvisation and then into Literacy scripting a possible follow-on scene.
