Tales of Beedle the Bard Babbity Rabbity and her cackling

stump (Drama)

Students have read Babbity Rabbity and her crackling

stump for homework. Have a brief class discussion about the
Fairytale, recapping what it was about.
Group students according to their houses, students have
already been sorted by the sorting hat.
Split Fairytale equally among the house groups (4
sections)
Each group must have a narrator and performers,
assigning themselves the roles of the Foolish King, the Charlatan,
Babbitty, and the Captain of the Brigade. They are to pantomime
their parts as the story is read aloud.
Each group will then act out their section of the Fairytale,
going in chronological order of the Fairytale
Note: As each group performs, the rest of the class can
participate by being the Brigade of Witch Hunters, the black
hounds, and the Lords and Ladies. They are to holler Get them!
every time they hear the word Witch Hunter read, bark every time
they hear hounds, and shout Ha-Ha when the phrase Lords and
Ladies is mentioned in the story. (Use SNB p.55)
