Reader's Theatre: The Life Cycle of a Snowflake; Water Cycle Level 1

The Life Cycle of a Snowflake Reader's Theatre script

Level 1

Make your science standards come alive with this engaging Reader's Theatre play designed to help your students learn about the water cycle, as well as solids, liquids, and gasses as they follow the journey of Sarah and Stanley Snowflake through their water cycle. This fun script reinforces reading skills, science standards, science vocabulary, fluency, and speaking and listening skills.

Students will learn how snowflakes form as they travel through the three stages of the water cycle: precipitation, evaporation, and condensation. They will also learn about how heat from the sun contributes to this cycle as the snowflakes turn from a solid, to a liquid, to a gas with fun characters and enjoyable dialogue.

This is a Level 1 script meaning this would meet the needs of your "on grade level students" (2nd grade) or higher level readers for 1st grade or "below grade level students" grades 3rd-4th. There are 8 roles with 3 larger speaking roles which are identified on the script. You could easily combine narrator parts for less roles or add a snowflake part for more roles and split up those lines.

This script is rich with vocabulary and has simplified explanations about the water cycle, making it a Level 1 script. Science vocabulary is underlined throughout the script to reinforce science content and understanding. It is important for even our struggling readers to use the proper science terminology. The repetition of reading a script and practicing lines is a great way to help them memorize some of the harder vocabulary words to read.
