“FANTASTIC! Perfectly pitched for the children. My class had a standing ovation and several parents were even crying!"

This simple performance is approximately 15-20 minutes in length and is very easy to learn and stage. It contains six short songs, three of which are repeated several times over through the performance. There is also an optional hymn to finish off, based on ‘The Canticle of The Sun’ by St. Francis Of Assisi.

The songs, which are beautifully sung by a young child, are linked together by one of two included scripts. Both scripts are included in your purchase: (1) A simple narrated script. (2) A rhyming playscript. All the backing music is included so there’s no need for a pianist. This product also comes with PowerPoints, sheet music, songsheet and more. Everything you need for an easy harvest, thanksgiving performance.

Narrator/s, between four and ten main parts – four with optional solos. Please note, it’s also possible to perform this work with no actors, but with just a choir/group of children singing the songs / reading the narrators’ parts.

If you stick exactly to either script then it should take around 20 minutes. But depending on how you choose to stage this performance, it can last for any length of time between 10 and 25 minutes. Suggestions for how to do this are included in the detailed ‘Production Notes’ which you find contained within your purchase.

We believe it’s possible to teach this performance to a group of children in just one day. Please note however that this is NOT a guarantee. Please listen to the songs and view the script before deciding how much rehearsal time your cast will require.

GRADED AS OUTSTANDING!

"Last year we did The Little Black Cloud with a cast of junior, infant and early years. On the day of the Harvest Festival an Ofsted inspector sat in and the assembly was graded as outstanding! It worked perfectly for the extremes of ages and the children had a lot of fun learning the songs. I am looking forward to doing something of yours that will be equally successful this year. Thank you."
