About Croak!
Dive into the garden pond in summer and fall in love with these characters and songs!
THE SONGS
This musical has five simple, singable, smile-inducing songs, perfectly written for 3-7 year olds. From a croaking choir song (‘Croak! Croak! Ribbidy-Dee!’) to a more reflective tadpole ballad, this show will certainly have you singing along.
THE STORY
It’s summertime in the garden! Flowers are blooming, insects are buzzing and the pond is alive with croaking. However, Speedy the tadpole’s got a bit of a journey to go on – it’s time for him to become a frog!
THE CHARACTERS
There’s a whole garden (and pond!) full of characters to know and love in this musical! From a choir of frogs and a goldfish to a bumblebee, cricket and even a wise snail, there’s a whole community of wildlife to bring to life with your class!
THE EXTRAS
As well as the five fabulous songs, we’ve also got three instrumental tracks for a sunbeam dance, a garden dance and Speedy the tadpole's speedy music! This product also comes with curriculum links, staging and costume suggestions, and percussion ideas!
THE VERDICT
‘An absolutely brilliant musical for the whole school. Our school loved the catchy songs and simple script. The musical can either be integrated, as we did into an Easter service or be used as a stand-alone performance. Would highly recommend’
An editable script is available for this product when you purchase a package that includes an eSongbook.
There are seven speaking parts and two group-speaking parts (the frogs and insects/flowers say several lines in unison). However, these speaking parts can easily be increased by splitting the narrator's part into lots of small speaking parts.
(Total length of music: 12 minutes approx)
