“Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh”
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on a bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
In a sleighing song tonight
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride Jingle Bells
In a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride Jingle Bells
In a one horse open sleigh.
Now the ground is white
And the night is young
Take the sleigh tonight
And join us in this song.
Just get a bob tailed bay
Get ready for a run
Then hitch him to a sleigh
And now we’ll have some fun
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride Jingle Bells
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride Jingle Bells
In a one horse open sleigh.”
Note: In the play there is a reindeer instead of a horse.
Show the students the image below and ask them which image belongs to which country
Also help them to memorize words beginning with U or with u in the words.
Which is which – upside-down, run, umbrella, United States, bun, umbrella?
Before having fun with the play do some more Alphabet Revision
Introduce /V/ /v/ /W/ /w/ /X/ /x/ /Y/ /y/ and /Z/ /z/.
Identifying words from pictures.
Let the students identify and then memorise words beginning with W.

Ask your students to make faces and gestures to express these feeling, and at the same time make up sentences with other students like: “I am happy”, “she is laughing”, “ you are sad”, “we are crying”, “they are angry”, etc.
Learn
Have conversations about Age
“How old are you?” “What is your age?” “I’m eight”, “I’m seven years old”, etc.
Practice dialogue between the Thai boy and girl:
“I bet you don’t know all the Asean Countries do you? There are ten of them.”
“Let me try. They are Thailand. . . .”
“That’s easy.”
(SHE COUNTING ON FINGERS) . . . “and Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, Singapore and Indonesia.”
Pretend to be Chi coming down by parachute. Try miming coming down, bumping into each other, landing on the ground. Or dolphins swimming up river pulling a boat. Or anything else that occurs to you.
The picture below is from an English through drama workshop at Parawun Sueksa School in North East Thailand may give some ideas: The children acted in “Presents from Heaven” and “The Jungle Book” (Secondary Course 4); and the teachers acted in “Romeo and Juliet” (Secondary Course 8). The trolley on the left of the picture represented a boat on one side and a bullock cart on the other.
Help with Flashcards
Encourage the students to paint flashcards. If you like we can upload the best to this website; and also if you like we shall credit your name, child’s name and country.
Help with Costumes
Ask your children’s families and friends which costumes it would be helpful to design and make. You do not have to have costumes exactly as in the pictures. Let you and your children and families and friends use their imaginations and creativity:
1. Mr. Santa’s costume.
2. Mrs. Santa’s costume.
3. A reindeer’s horns or head
4. 3 Dolphins
5. A boy or a girl’s costume for each of the Asean countries.
Research this online and look at the pictures below.
Here are some adult national costumes to inspire you, but research and create your own:

| SOMCHAI: | Wow! Well done! How can we get to know children from each of them? |
| YING: | Perhaps one day you and I will marry one of them. |
| SOMCHAI: | Don’t be silly. We’re too young to talk about that. |
| YING: | Anyway how can we meet them? |
| SOMCHAI: | I know. Let’s ask Mr and Mrs Santa to help us. |

| SOMCHAI: | We want friends. |
| MR SANTA: | (LAUGHS) Very Good! We’ve got one for you already. |
| MRS SANTA: | (CALLS) Sovann! |
| (SOVANN A BOY FROM CAMBODIA WAVING A CAMBODIAN FLAG APPEARS OUT OF THE SLEIGH) | |

| SOVANN: | It means like gold. |
| SOMCHAI: | can you give us some? |
| SOVANN: | No . I am very poor. But we can be friends. |
| SOVANN PUTS HIS FLAG IN A TREE. THEN TWO GIRLS: CHI (WEARING VIETNAMESE NATIONAL DRESS) AND ANGEL (WEARING PHILIPPINES NATIONAL DRESS) APPEAR WITH PARACHUTES. THEY TOO ARE WAVING THEIR FLAGS. THEY KEEP BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER. | |
| NARR 1: | While this was happening Mrs Santa sent two girls down by parachute. |
| NARR 2: | They were Chi from Vietnam and Angel from the Philippines. |
| NARR 1: | They were quarrelling; because they kept bumping into each other. |

| ANGEL: | (BUMPING INTO CHI) I don’t believe you. |
| THEY NARROWLY MISS YING | |
| 5TH CHILD: | Because I want to run fast. |
| NARR 2: | They nearly landed on Ying’s head. But Ying said: |
| YING: | Sawatdee kha. Hey, let’s hold hands and be friends. |
| ANGEL: | Kumasta. |
| CHI: | Chao. |
| THEY JOIN HANDS AND DANCE TO MUSIC: “JINGLE BELLS” OR “THE ASEAN WAY”. DURING THE DANCE THEY PUT THEIR FLAGS IN TREES. SOVANN AND SOMCHAI JOIN IN THE DANCE. | |
| WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THREE CHILDREN DRESSED AS DOLPHINS PULL A CUT-OUT BOAT WITH RIO IN IT. RIO ALSO WEARS NATIONAL DRESS AND WAVES HIS FLAG. | |
| NARR 1: | Then a boy called Rio arrived from Indonesia. |
| NARR 2: | He sailed across sea then up the Chao Praya River into Bangkok (or to another place – or up the Mekong to another place – up to you) |
| NARR 1: | He came in a boat pulled by Dolphins that the Santas had given him. |
| SOMCHAI, VERY EXCITED, RUNS TO GREET HIM. RIO HAS THE INDONESIAN FLAG. | |
| SOMCHAI: | Sawatdee khrap. |
| RIO: | Apa kabar. Would you like to play with the dolphins? |
| SOMCHAI: | Wowee! Yes please. |
| ANGEL: | Can I play too? I love fish. |
| DOLPHIN 1: | And I love humans. |
| CHI: | I’ve always wanted to ride a dolphin. |
| DOLPHIN 2: | Come on then. |
| SOVANN: | Me too. Dolphins are very clever. |
| DOLPHIN 3: | Jump on our backs |
| (THE CHILDREN JUMP ON THE DOLPHINS’ BACKS AND RIDE ‘PIGGY BACK’ ROUND THE STAGE) | |
| YING: | Yippee! |
THEY ALL SING AND DANCE WITH THE DOLPHINS. AND RIO PUTS HIS FLAG IN A TREE. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE BIGGEST OF THE CUT-OUTS APPEARS. THEY WAVE THE FLAGS OF THEIR COUNTRIES: THEY ARE TIN TUT FROM MYANMAR, DEWI FROM BRUNEI, | |
| NARR 2: | Then the last five children all arrived together. |
| NARR 1: | They landed in a hot air balloon. |

| NARR 1: | And a boy from Malaysia called Amir.! |
| AMIR: | Hello. |
| SOVANN: | Isn’t that funny? We’ve all dropped down from heaven |
| ANGEL: | But Rio arrived by boat pulled by dolphins. |
| CHI: | So? Dolphins are heavenly creatures. |
| ALL THE CHILDREN AND THE DOLPHINS CRY: “YES” AND LAUGH. ANGEL JOINS IN AND SHOUTS “YES” LOUDEST OF ALL. | |
| DEWI: | What about Ying and Somchai? They were already here. |
| ANANI | They came from heaven too. |
| AMIR: | Yes. We all came from heaven before we were born. |
| FANN WONG: | Yes even the grown ups. |
| MR AND MRS SANTA AND THE REINDEER RE-APPEAR. | |
| SOVANN: | Including Mr and Mrs Santa |
| REINDEER: | Don’t forget me. |
| TIN TUT: | Are you a grown up? |
| REINDEER: | Of course I am. |
| AMIR: | Okay. You too. |
| ANANI: | And all our families and friends |
| ANGEL: | They came from heaven too. |
| SHE GESTURES TO THE AUDIENCE AND SO DO THE REST OF THE CHILDREN AND THEY CRY: “YES” | |
| THEN THE CHILDREN SING AND DANCE TOGETHER AND PUT MORE FLAGS IN THE TREES. THIS CAN BE IMPROVISED. THEN THEY TURN TO THE AUDIENCE AND SAY TOGETHER: | |
| ALL THE CHILDREN: | When – we – grow – up – all – the – peoples – of – ASEAN – will – be – happy – together. |
| THEN THEY CLAP THE AUDIENCE AND – HOPEFULLY – THE AUDIENCE CLAPS BACK. | |
| THE CURTAIN DROPS |
Encourage the children to learn their parts but also to improvise and modify. This should give them confidence and spontaneity.

| ANNOUNCER: | We present the Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde, dramatized by Shaun MacLoughlin |
| NARRATOR: | Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant’s garden. It was a large, lovely garden. |
| SCENE 1 | THE CURTAINS OPEN AND WE SEE A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN WITH CHILDREN RUNNING INTO IT. IT HAS BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS AND PEACH TREES IN BLOSSOM ON ONE SIDE OF THE STAGE AND PEACH TREES WITH RIPE PEACHES ON THE OTHER SIDE. BIRD SONG |
| GIRL: | How happy we are here! |
| BOY: | (LYING DOWN) The grass is so comfy. |
| GIRL: | The flowers are like stars. |
| BOY: | The peach blossom is so beautiful |
| GIRL: | (TAKING AND BITING A PEACH) And the peaches are so yummy. |
| BOY: | Stop. Listen to the birds! (THEY DO SO) |
| NARRATOR: | One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years were over, he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden. |
| GIANT: | (ROARING) What are you doing here?” (THE CHILDREN RUN AWAY) My own garden is my own garden. Anyone can understand that. (HE STARTS BUILDING A WALL) I will allow nobody to play in it but myself. WE SEE HIM PUT UP THE NOTICE “ TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED” |
| NARRATOR: | He was a very selfish Giant. Now the poor children had nowhere to play. |
| SCENE 2 | WE MOVE SIDEWAYS TO A DUSTY ROAD WITH A HIGH WALL BESIDE IT SO THAT HALF THE STAGE IS THE GARDEN AND HALF IS THE ROAD. AS THE CHILDREN ENTER, SNOW STARTS TO COVER THE GARDEN AND WE HEAR HEAVY TRAFFIC NOISE. WE SEE SOME OF THE CHILDREN TRYING TO PLAY, BUT FALLING OVER, SOME TRYING UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO CLIMB THE WALL SOME TRYING TO AVOID THE TRAFFIC AND EVEN GETTING KNOCKED OVER AS WE HEAR A VERY NOISY MOTOR BIKE |
| NARRATOR: | They tried to play on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and noisy, dangerous traffic and they did not like it. They used to wander round the high wall when their lessons were over, and talk about the beautiful garden. |
| GIRL: | How happy we were there. |
| BOY: | I can’t hear the birds any more. |
| GIRL: | I miss the flowers. |
| BOY: | I miss the peaches. |
| NARRATOR: | Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still Winter. Once, a beautiful flower put its head out from the grass, but when it saw the noticeboard it buried itself again. |
| SCENE 3 | WE SLIDE BACK TO THE GARDEN WHICH IS NOW COMPLETELY COVERED IN DEEP SNOW. WE CAN STILL SEE THE NO TRESPASSERS NOTICE BOARD. WE THEN SEE A GIRL DRESSED AS A FLOWER POP HER HEAD ABOVE THE SNOW. |
| NARRATOR: | Once, a beautiful flower put its head out from the snow. |
| FLOWER: | Oh, No! (SHE GOES DOWN AGAIN WHEN SHE SEES THE NOTICE BOARD) |
| NARRATOR: | But when she saw the noticeboard she was so sorry for the children that she disappeared down to sleep again. The only people who were pleased were the Snow and the Frost. (SNOW AND FROST SHIMMY ONTO THE STAGE. THEY ARE WEARING SPARKLY SILVER COSTUMES) |
| SNOW: | Spring has forgotten this garden. |
| FROST: | So we will live here all the year round. (THEY START PAINTING ALL THE TREES SILVER. THEN THE NORTH WIND COMES. HE IS WRAPPED IN FURS. HE ROARS AROUND THE GARDEN. HE STARTS BLOWING DOWN CHIMNEY POTS.) |
| NORTH WIND: | This is a delightful spot. We must ask the Hail on a visit. (HAIL ENTERS. HE OR SHE IS DRESSED IN GREY. HE TWIRLS AROUND A SORT OF BRUSH WITH LONG SPIKES AND SHINY BLOBS ON THE ENDS OF EACH SPIKE. SHE/HE RATTLES ON THE ROOF OF THE CASTLE, BREAKING THE SLATES.) |
| NARRATOR: | So every day, for three hours, Hail rattled on the roof of the castle till he broke most of the slates. His breath was like ice. (THE SELFISH GIANT ENTERS) |
| GIANT: | I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming, I hope there will be a change in the weather. |
| NARRATOR: | But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. (AUTUMN ENTERS. HE/SHE IS DRESSED IN AUTUMNAL COLOURS) The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none. |
| AUTUMN: | He is too selfish. (SHE POINTS AT HIM AND HE SCOWLS) Just look at him. (THEY BOTH LEAVE AND THE NORTH WIND, THE HAIL AND THE FROST CONTINUE DANCING IN THE SNOW. THEN AT THE SIDE OF THE STAGE THE SELFISH GIANT IS WHEELED IN LYING ON A BED. THEN WE BEGIN TO HEAR THE SONG OF THE LINNET |
| NARRATOR: | One morning, the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It sounded so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the King’s musicians passing by. It was really only a little linnet singing outside his window, but it was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world. Then the Hail stopped dancing over his head, and the North Wind ceased roaring, and a delicious perfume came to him through the open casement. (AND AS WE LISTEN TO THE LINNET THE MUSIC OF THE LARK ASCENDING BY VAUGHAN WILLIAMS DEVELOPS FROM THE BIRD SONG. THE GIANT JUMPS OUT OF BED AND LOOKS OUT AT THE GARDEN.) |
| GIANT: | I believe the Spring has come at last. |
| NARRATOR: | What did he see? He saw a most wonderful sight.(THE CHILDREN START CREEPING THROUGH A HOLE IN THE WALL INTO THE GARDEN AND SITTING ON BRANCHES. BLOSSOMS BEGIN TO COVER THE TREES.) The trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms, and were waving their arms gently above the children’s heads. (BRING UP THE MUSIC AND THE TWITTERING OF BIRDS. FLOWERS DANCE ABOUT, MOVING THE CUT OUT SCENERY OF TREES INTO PLACE. BUT IN ONE CORNER THE FROST AND THE SNOW REMAIN. A LITTLE BOY IS STANDING THERE. HE IS TOO SMALL TO REACH THE BRANCHES OF A TREE. HE IS WANDERING ABOUT CRYING. A VOICE COMES FROM THE TREE.) |
| TREE: | Climb up, little boy! |
| NARRATOR: | But the boy was too tiny. And the Giant’s heart melted as he looked out. |
| GIANT: | How selfish I have been! Now I know why the Spring would not come here. I will put that poor little boy on the top of the tree, and then I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children’s playground for ever and ever. (HE ENTERS THE GARDEN. THE MUSIC FADES. ALL THE CHILDREN RUN AWAY IN TERROR. ONLY THE BOY AND A FEW OF THE FLOWER/STAGE HANDS REMAIN.) |
| NARRATOR: | Only the little boy did not run, for his eyes were so full of tears that he did not see the Giant coming. (THE GIANT STEALS UP BEHIND THE LITTLE BOY AND AS HE DOES SO THE FLOWER STAGE HANDS PUT A BRANCH WITH BLOSSOMS UNDER THE LITTLE BOY. THE MUSIC AND THE BIRDS AND THEN THE CHILDREN BEGIN, CAUTIOUSLY, TO RETURN. |
| GIANT: | It is your garden now, little children, (MORE CHILDREN RETURN. THE GIANT TAKES AN AXE AND KNOCKS DOWN THE WALL. QUIETLY THE LITTLE BOY LEAVES. THENGTHE GIANT PLAYS WITH ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN) |
| NARRATOR: | All day long they played, and in the evening they came to the Giant to bid him goodbye. |
| GIANT: | But where is your little companion? The boy I put into the tree. |
| BIGGER BOY: | We don’t know,. |
| GIRL: | He has gone away. |
| BIGGER BOY: | We don’t know where he lives. |
| GIRL: | We’ve never seen him before. |
| NARRATOR: | The Giant felt very sad. The little boy whom the Giant loved wasn’t seen again. The Giant was very kind to all the children, yet he longed for his first little friend, and often spoke of him. |
| GIANT: | How I would like to see him! |
