Ron Fink and John Heath
Downloadable Musical Play with Album — Sheet Music

This 30 minute musical play can be done as a complete play, skits, readers' theater read-aloud, or you can just sing songs. A fun way for students to learn about the many helpful people in their community. No music or drama experience needed.

Hosted by George and Martha Washington, our musical review of early American history covers the period from before the arrival of the Europeans through the signing of the Bill of Rights . This is the show that will have your kids eating American History for breakfast. Maybe even lunch. Everyone seems to show up, from Leif Erickson, the Iroquois, and Ponce de Leon to Ben Franklin, Sibyl Luddington and The 13 Colony Singers. Keeping all the characters in line are the History Police, crashing the party whenever it looks like the shows has started to "mess around with history."

13 Colonies is a great complement to your curriculum resources in elementary school history.

The musical play includes a downloadable illustrated script, teachers guide, and zipped files of ten mp3 vocal & instrumental song tracks.   The sheet music download includes full arrangement music for each of the ten songs in pdf format.
