ما تحتاجه
لا شيء إطلاقاً.
طريقة التنفيذ
- Everyone gets twenty minutes to prepare one short act.
- Set up a stage area and seating.
- Someone acts as compere and introduces each performer.
- Every act gets applause regardless of quality.
- Adults must perform too. This is not negotiable and it is the whole point.
لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
