Don't worry about your first days in the theatre shop! This Bundle will safely introduce your students to the hardware, tools, and supplies used in the theatre shop. There are a variety of videos samples, small math problems, step by step visuals for the 2 activities, and an added online (or field trip) Hardware store activity. This Bundle includes the following TPT lessons:- Hardware, Tools, and Materials Presentation - Tool Supply Organization Activity - Create a Mini Flat Activity - Hardware

Here is a bundle from an introduction to an advanced Theatre Counterweight and Rigging System! Don't be afraid if you don't have a true theatre system. I have included activities for schools with and without a full theatre. All together, these lessons could take 1 week to 1 and 1/2 weeks. Enjoy!

If you aren't ready for your theatre students to use power tools to build quite yet, here is a nice introduction to measuring and cutting lumber. The end result will be students making a mini 4 inch by 8 inch theatre flat. (Real life flats are traditionally 4ft by 8 ft.) Print the handout exactly or else the measurements will be slightly off. You can test this out by printing and measuring the large rectangle plywood piece, which should be 4 inches by 8 inches. You can find the exact steps and

Don't worry! They aren't putting tools in their hand quite yet! Just a few practice paper samples before we put the real items into their hands! This is great if you do not have a shop or tools to teach from. This presentation introduces students to:- a tour of a sample shop

You may or may not have a full theatre with all the hanging equipment above, but that doesn't mean you can't teach your students about how to safely use and respect one.

Here's what you will get:- Names of the counterweight equipment - Zoomed out images of how a theatre counterweight system is put together - Basic math samples to balance the counterweight system - How to control a line set with numerous safe and dangerous

No more lecturing about tools and hardware found in the shop. Instead, have the students go "shopping" for the supplies that they use every day in the class (or at least what you hope they had to use in class.) And schools will love it as you integrate math and keeping budgets. This activity can be done on the computer in small groups or individually, or even MORE EXCITING... actually take them on a field trip to a local hardware store to physically see the items they are learning about.
