In the activity, one child takes on the part of a character (usually from the text they're currently looking at) to answer questions from the audience. It's not necessarily limited to one character at a time though, you may choose to use two if the story had two main characters such as The Twits by Roald Dahl or a group of people if there are several major characters.
The main focus should be more on emotion and thought so make sure you base it on a story the children know well to ensure there's not too much emphasis on what happens leading to awkward blanks and silences.
You can also use other characters like a special visitor they previously had e.g. the school nurse or Henry VIII if they've been learning about The Tudors. It's only limited by your ideas.
