For example, one person may take on several small roles or a puppet or other inanimate object may become a character. You could tell them about the Reduced Shakespeare Company where, if they don't have the right number of people, they find another way.
Now split students into three groups and tell them they are going to act out part of the play of Romeo and Juliet. Follow with parts 2 and 3, helping with any difficult vocabulary. Give them the first part of Romeo and Juliet to read through. Ask them if they know which famous play starts in this way. Return students to their places and give some feedback. Regroup the class so that everyone is in a pair of one Paris and one Juliet. Give half the class card 1 and the other half the class card 2. It is not necessary to have all male or all female groups but you could consider it. Divide students into groups of about three. The two families find the two dead bodies and decide to live peacefully. She then proceeds to stab herself with Romeo's dagger. When Juliet wakes up, she finds her lover's dead body beside her. Unfortunately, Romeo does not receive the message in time and goes to Juliet's tomb where, thinking she is really dead, he drinks poison and dies. Friar Lawrence promises to tell Romeo the plan. Juliet does not want to marry this man so she arranges with Friar Lawrence to pretend to die with a sleeping pill. The Capulets are planning Juliet's marriage to Paris. As a punishment, Romeo is banished from Verona. Tybalt kills Mercutio, so Romeo kills Tybalt. However, the fighting between the rival families gets worse and Mercutio (Montague), Romeo's good friend, fights Tybalt (Capulet), Juliet's cousin. Friar Lawrence agrees to marry them in an effort to end the fighting between the families. (She is supposed to marry Paris.) He later finds out that she is a Capulet, the rival family of the Montagues. He goes to a party and meets Juliet, and immediately falls in love with her instead. You will also need one copy per student of the following summary: 
What are you going to say when he comes to speak to you?
He's very rich and educated but not really your type and you don't love him. You've heard from your friends that a boy called Paris would like to marry you. You are rich and educated and know that you are a good catch. Prepare what you are going to say to make a good impression and let her know how you feel. You know a very sophisticated girl called Juliet and you would like to marry her.
Half the students will need a copy of card 1 and the other half card 2.
