Fairy Tales 3 reader's theater, writing, activities, plays, puppets

This fairy tale resource has a ton of fun activities for your students. This resource includes a fairy tale reader’s theater scripts or use as a play for Princess and the Pea, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Hansel and Gretel. This resource has many different activities that meet the common core including writing.

The plays or scripts can be used many different ways, keep them in a center, or use for guided reading instruction with an emphasis on fluency and expression. Children love to act out the parts and rereading the parts is great fluency and expression practice.

The puppets or name tags are ready to be cut out and come in color and in black and white. Apply a ruler, stick or tongue depressor to the back of the characters and they will be all ready for your students to put on great puppet plays or reader’s theater for each other.
