Ideas based on my experiences in my own primary school classroom on how to create a play without having to write a script. It avoids endless photocopying and allows far more flexibily. Also ideal for younger learners who can't yet read.
Parents often don't realise how much English their children can speak. For an easy homework activity, get students to take an interview sheet home to interview their parents. Children love it!
Even if the parents can't speak Englisjh, they will be impressed (the students can simply translate after saying it in English).
