Theater Plays in English
English-language shows for kindergartens and elementary schools
The primary objective of Ruskus’ theater plays in English is that all students can understand them, enjoy them and take benefit of them equally, either they have an excellent level of English, or they are working hard to improve it.
To achieve this understanding, during the performance words are linked to specific physical actions, so the gesture helps the understanding of language.
However, the distinctive feature of these shows in English is that, in addition to music and theater, they also include three performing arts:
Magic
Magic tricks specially adapted for each show.
Puppetry
Hand puppets and ventriloquist dolls to represent some characters.
Clowning
The art of clowning bring humor and joy to the theatrical performance.
The delicious combination of clowning, magic and puppetry is one of the things that children love the most and English teachers use to recall in their assessments.
Check out the available shows: there are three beginners level plays for kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade, and four more advanced shows for 3rd to 6th grade.

Lots of fun! The kids had a great time! They were left with a lot of words and were amazed at the magic tricks!
– Iris, Institució Montserrat (Barcelona)
In just 40 minutes, a complete review of almost all the vocabulary worked on in the first two quarters of English in the first cycle. The students had a great time, the magic tricks were great and the performance was great.

It’s a very entertaining and fun play, with easy-to-understand vocabulary. The P4 and P5 kids had a great time.

We really enjoyed both the English language and the history of the farm. The boys and girls enjoyed themselves a lot and had a very fun morning.

Very fun and exciting. The students enjoyed it a lot.
– Rueda, Institut-Escola Elisabets (Barcelona)
I found it very motivating for P5 and undergraduate students, who are the ones who have seen it. The fact that he mixes the English language with a magic show is very encouraging.
