Holi Hindu Spring Festival of Colours Assembly or Class Play
Holi Hindu Spring Festival of Colours Assembly or Class Play. A riot! An explosion of colour! Well, not quite. It’s those wretched Health and Safety Regulations spoiling all the fun again. That and a teacher who’s prime concern is not to upset the caretaker.
But never fear, fun usually succeeds at finding a way through – and there is a great deal of Bollywood dancing and laughter along the way! Oh plus some facts behind the festival of course!
Cast of 30. Duration 10 – 20 minutes depending on the amount of music/dancing
