Research for children

Independence from family - three little pigs are moving out
Friendship is important - Little Red and Boy are friends even though he lied
Develop confidence - talk about importance of confidence in play - have to be confident to make friends

Thinking about the future - talk about what the little pigs want to do - it's important for children to know that actions have consequences
Liked by friends - Boy lied to feel accepted by the village, kids lie to be accepted in their friendship groups - they feel he can relate to them

Concern for others - everyone is concerned for the wolf

Health & safety - road and water safety could be talked about in the play

Limit access to food - kids won't like that, we should keep the sweets - teach them that body image doesn't matter

Friendships are important - Little Red sticks by Boy even though he lied - teach kids it's important to stand by their friends





Other POVs more clearly - Red understands why Boy lies
Increased attention span - play can last longer - especially if we get them involved


Right and wrong - we can incorporate lessons - it was wrong for boy to lie

Respect - Boy could save the day and earn the villagers' respect - teach children that respect should be earned

Puberty - could lead to a funny sketch
Do things as a family - three little pigs stand together - teach kids that family is very important, whereas friends come and go
