(Shawnee Press). The Singin' and Swingin' at the K-2 Chorale Series includes easy-to-stage mini-musicals specifically designed for primary-age students. The songs, scripts, costumes, and staging suggestions for the series provide a number of performance options that accommodate a wide range of skills extending from kindergarten through second grade, and may even be extended to third grade as well. In A Barnyard Moosical, a hilarious and imaginative mini-musical, we meet a unique and talented group of animals living at this unusual farm. Between the gourmet goats that refuse to eat garbage, a chorus line of hoofing cows, neatnik pigs and funky dancing chickens, the musical will be sure to tickle the imagination and funny bone of performers and audiences alike. This kit contains the director's score, reproducible student parts, and an Enhanced StudioTrax CD that includes an event poster, program, artwork elements and a personal note to the director/teacher from the Gallinas. Duration: ca. 15 minutes. Grades K-2.
