Last Week of School Reading Activities Social Studies Projects End the Year Fun

Grab these Greek mythology readers theater scripts for your class! Practicing reader’s theater scripts is a fun way to build reading fluency! When the scripts incorporate gods and goddesses from ancient Greece and play out famous Greek myths this practice becomes interdisciplinary combining reading fluency, vocabulary, public speaking, and social studies. FANTASTIC end of the year project or addition to any reading curriculum!!

Included in this resource:

~ FOUR Greek Myths Reader’s Theater Scripts

1 Daedalus & Icarus (5 Characters)

2 Persephone ~ A Story of the Seasons (8 Characters)
3 King Midas (8 Characters)

4 A Love Story~ Cupid (Eros) & Psyche (8 Characters)

~ Synopsis of the Gods & Goddesses

Teaching Tips:

• Begin by familiarizing the class with the characters & unknown vocabulary.

• To build fluency speed, have students pre-read their scripts silently several times. (To build fluency with improved expression, begin to practice out loud.)

• I like to divide my class into 4 groups and give each group a play to practice. Finally, they then perform it for the class.

• Reader’s theater can be made into a costumed, staged performance or kept simple with students sitting on chairs in front of the class. Do what works best for your schedule!
