About 2 months ago me and 2 adult members of my church decided to do a christmas play with the teens and children in the church.they liked the play alot and were excited to do it. But over the past month and a half its been the same thing.it takes us 40 minutes to start practice because they are playing with their ipods, ipads and tablets or they are just fooling around.they do this before, and during the practices.we gave them their parts for the play, but they still havent learned it yet, and its been 1 month and a 1/2.most of them just have 3 or 4 lines. The sad part is the children who are 6-7 years old learned their skits and dance the very first day we gave it to them.i dont know its like they are not serious. I dont know how they can memorize 3-4 songs by lil wayne.nicki minaj etc… but can't learn 3-4 lines for a play.when it comes to the dance, they are like its too hard we cant do it. But the dances are so simple.we even asked them to come up with easier dances and no one brought one in. we had practice yesterday and it was horrible.they were constantly on their electronic devices, running and fooling around and just not taking things seriously. The biggest problem is the play is next week friday and we only have 2 hours on friday and 3 hours on sunday to practice. The little children have their stuff together is just the teen's.we had about 3 meetings and we asked them who seriously want to do the play and they all raised their hands.but they still are not making progress. We dont want to cancel the play either because some of them are working hard and i dont want to ruin it for them plus we invited alot of people and they really want to see the play. What should we do?
