It also includes a list of all skill focused words and other words included in the story. Lastly, it includes a “words to know” section that includes 3 words in the story that might be unfamiliar. A picture cue is provided.

Each play script is two pages long. This allows you to print them back to back if you wish. Have students highlight their parts to make reading easier. Most plays have characters that are not gendered so any student can play each role.

Each play includes an optional headband template for students to use. Both color and black and white headband pieces are included. You can have students color the black and white version or just use the color version. Simple print out the page, cut out the pieces, and tape or staple them to a strip of construction paper or a sentence strip.

Two versions are included for easy printing. The original version includes each play script followed by the black and white and colored headbands. The second version has all of the play scripts first, followed by the black and white headbands, followed by the colored headbands. This makes for easy printing choices for you!
