"I purchased my first play, The Texans, as a fourth grade teacher in Dallas, Texas. While many of the students had been in the country for several years, it was the first year in an 'English only' class for any of them. My challenge was to get them not only to speak up, but to stand up and sing loud and clear in front of an audience. Little did I know at the time that you had already done all the hard work for me. It was so easy. I just popped in the CD and gave them the words.
Everyone tried out for parts. I found a special education student in my class to be a born star. When she took the stage, she radiated personality, enthusiasm, and confidence.
In the twenty years that I have been teaching, I have tried many products and programs that are supposed to help children. I don't think that I have ever found anything that provides as much benefit to students with so little preparation. Everything is there for you. The songs are perfect! The are educational, yet often amusing on many levels. You guys are brilliant! You have a devoted customer and fan in me."
---Lori Becerra, Teacher (4th grade), Ben Milam Elementary, Dallas, TX
"The songs were good, informational, and had humor. Students learn better when they think they are 'playing.' The songs are educational, but also entertaining."
---Patti Bradley, Teacher (4th grade), Taylor Elementary, Burleson, TX
"The play followed our Texas history curriculum quite accurately...I would tell teachers that have never done a play before that Bad Wolf plays are definitely where they should start. The directions are clear and easy to follow."
---Linda Centera, Teacher (4th grade), Dunaway Elementary, Waxahachie, TX
"The show was extremely entertaining and also fit with our school's curriculum. For anyone who has reservations about doing one of these plays, I just want to say it really is as easy as Bad Wolf Press states. We did the program with about 100 fourth graders for PTA performances and with minimal effort from the teachers the performances were hits with both the kids and adults."
---Rachel Baker, Teacher (4th grade), Fernandez Elementary, San Antonio, TX
"The songs and script are perfect. What a wonderful sense of humor! History is a great avenue of learning. Kids and adults of all ages love being with plays like this. It's easy, too. Our whole school watched us perform."
---Linda Busby, Teacher (4th and 7th grades), Rees Elementary, Houston, TX
"I loved all the detailed instructions. The play allowed each student to 'shine.' Some of the more reserved students really expressed themselves openly through their character. The Texans was a perfect culminating activity to conclude our year-long study of Texas history."
---Juanita Fox, Teacher (4th grade) Coker Elementary, San Antonio, TX
"I loved seeing the children try something new. Our whole school looks forward to our performances. The children seem to gain a great deal of confidence too."
---Peggy O'Leary, Teacher (4th grade), Kimberlin Academy, Garland, TX
