Do not just put your characters in a straight line. The characters do not move around or face each other. They may step forward or back but they always face the audience. For a journey they walk on the spot. The characters should always have a focus point in the audience or just above it.
Actors move between roles, so that the reading is shared.
The cut-out houses and palm trees can be made by students in advance. Cicak is a lizard we know as a gecko. It has sticky pads on its toes that enable it to run upside down on ceilings and walls. Kancil is a small animal like a deer, but the size of a dog. If you do not have props, students can be asked to make sound effects and use appropriate mime gestures to portray the animals.
