Parts
Most assemblies can easily give every child in your class at least a line each – often more.
Age Range
This publication covers a wide age range: roughly half the songs are for infants and half for juniors.
Running Time
Anything from 10 to 25 minutes, depending on which talk or script you use and how many of the songs and ideas you include.
Rehearsal Time
We believe a simple version of most of these assembly performances can be taught to a group of children in a single day. Every group is different, though, so please listen to the songs and look through the material before deciding how much time your pupils will need.
Is It Religious?
Only half of the songs and half of the assemblies contain religious material, so there’s something here for every age range and every school.
