A Grand Parent Thanksgiving

Description

a school program is giving thanks for grandparents. Script is broken down into several grades or age groups with each having a special anogram, recitation or song. There is also a central drama that weaves through. As written, the cast could be 30 - 100 or more children, but since it is written in a segmented format individual segments could be deleted. Includes songs and a human video (mime to music written script). Excellent for schools, youth groups or Sunday School.
