Original Post: I'm looking for some creative minds.....I am in charge of putting together an assembly for my K-4 school. The main purpose is for our "Principal's Reading Challenge". The kids are about to reach their goal of 15,000 books read in a month and get a chance to "Pie the Principal" (with a green cool whip pie...actually 46 pies, 2 kids/class). The challenge was tied into Dr. Seuss's birthday and "Green Eggs and Ham". During our assembly, of course, will be the pie throwing and I'm looking for some ideas to fill up the rest of the hour long assembly. ********************************************* ...the ideas I got were to do some reading cheers, a reader's theater and trivia with prizes. My assembly was Friday and we ended up doing a staff skit of "Green Eggs and Ham". We basically just acted out the story with each "question" read/acted by a different staff member (for ex. one dressed as a mouse and said, "Would you, could you with a mouse?" etc). Our music teacher was Sam and I was the "other guy" who would not eat green eggs and ham. We've done this sort of thing before and our students get such a kick out of their teachers acting silly. The best part of the play was the 4 fourth grade teachers as the eggs and ham. The art teacher made sandwich board type "costumes", 2 eggs, 2 hams. They scooted across the stage with their arms connected boo-hoo-ing when I said I didn't like them. I also had a 10 minute power point slide show of a basic bio on Seuss and then the students got to throw green cool whip pies at the principal for reaching the reading goal of 15,000 books in a month. Also, since they went over by about 8,000 books, 8 teachers took a pie, too. Overall, it was a great hit! Every year I find myself trying to out do the last year. Last year, we did a dunk tank to "Dunk the Principal". It's definitely a tradition at our school every year!

Of course I thought the principal or I could read the book or I also have an animated version to show. But I feel like I need something else. I'd appreciate any ideas....by the way, the assembly is on Friday! I work best under pressure (I think!)
