My drama class did SSSET this year, we held two performances in school...
it was "Anti bullying week" so we decided to stick to that theme to keep it relevant to our audience (the rest of the school)
During recess held a procession through the school grounds, each of us bound to a chain that stretched about twenty metres or so, we ended up coming through the the main quad of our school and standing in a large circle, still attatched to the chain (which now that i think about it...was probably more like 30 or 40 metres long) and we sort of played a game of chinese whispers, except screaming at the top of our lungs over the kids in the playground (who luckily, shut up and payed attention) we decided that gossip was the most prevalent form of bullying in our school, so we started a rumour chain, which started with "hey, dont tell anyone, but i have a LITTLE crush on matt!" and by the time it got to the end of the circle it was something like "hey, i heard that you and matt are having babies, and your babies scabies have rabies?" (or something to that effect" and they we got all symbolic and broke the chain blah blah blah (breaking the chain of rumours..whatevs)
then we did a second performance at lunch time, which was the most fun thing ever. our class of about 12 students broke up in to groups, there were the 'big bullies', who were 2 guys and 1 girl from our class dressed as gangster sort of looking guys, 'mean girls' which were 2 girls and myself, who were the nasty slutty girls, the "snobby boys", 2 boys..who didnt really do much actually..and a nasty dyke who bullied little girls..and the rest of our class played the "sherrifs", we took photos in our costumes and created "wanted" posters, which were all over school at the beginning of lunch, and the sherriffs were out encouraging kids to go find bullies, about ten minutes later the bullies left the drama room and went to different positions around the school and bullied kids, we yelled at them and called them names...alot of them fought back pretty fiercley, then they figured out what to do and groups of kids "dragged" the bullies over to the sherrifs..we all got 'lined up' againt a wall, where the kids who found us were able to throw huge soapy wet sponges at us, which then fell on the ground and got covered in dirt..and then thrown at us again..and the kids who found us were given bags of chocolate coins..the sherrifs decided to just throw buckets of dirty water at us...at the end of the day no real lesson was learnt and out class only got 3 out of five and we were left very muddy and soaking wet with makeup running all over out faces and alot of dirt stuck in our dirty wet hair...but it was the most fun ever.
so thats probably not helpful, but i thought i would share it anyway.
