SCRIPT: "Who's the Man?"

Men from the French and Indian War and the Road to the Revolution!

Setting Up the lesson/game show.

Set Up: Two Teams sitting (10 on each side). Two students one from each team would stand at a time for each question. (So of the two, one will answer and the other will not.) The odd number of children would give answers. The others would not talk. They can hit the buzzer late or raise their hand after the first one does.

Who do you need?
•Talk Show Host: Make sure your main character the talk show host is energetic, will study lines at home and will speak loud and clear. (Practice them him/her a few times).
•Director: (PowerPoint Slide person) You will need someone to work the

PowerPoint slides as the questions are asked.
•Announcer (for beginning and ending segments.
•Student Photographer and one to film clips. (A tripod set on something high would be the best route to go.
•Two teams (Assign roles: ODD NUMBERS will ANSWER ONLY. So make sure your odd number students want to talk during this!) You can have children repeat if you don’t have 20 students to use.

oTeam A (numbers 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20)
oTeam B (numbers 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19)

NOTE: Don’t assign students in a film if they can’t be online and you want to post or share it. They can film, be the student photographer, etc. (Suggestion: Have the photographer snap pictures that are posed, not to have a flash going off during the skit.)

Props (Just suggestions)
•Podium and microphone if possible for the talk show host. There will need to be a spot for the talk host near the white board.
•Projector with PowerPoint playing.
•Buzzer if possible
•Possible “color themes” for each team (just an example: red or blue headbands(
