Instructional Ideas

• If attending a performance of the stage play is not possible, have theater arts students plan the staging, design sets, and sketch costumes for their own production of the musical
• Show a clip that features the costumes of the animals in the stage play of Lion King and ask a team to design a similar costume for Iago

Classroom Considerations

• The 37-page study guide is designed to prepare learners for a live performance of the musical; however, many of the activities are appropriate for a study of the original Disney animated film on which the musical is based

Pros

• Includes lessons for language arts, social studies, music, and theater arts classes

Cons

• None
