Are you looking for something fun to do for Reading during the week of Valentine's Day? This set of four Readers' Theater scripts will certainly spice things up! This set of three Readers' Theater scripts will certainly spice things up! A bonus page for teachers includes a page that lists the number of lines by characters and an explanation about how I schedule this to be a weeklong Readers' Theater activity.

This BUNDLE contains four separate Readers' Theater scripts:

1. A Box of Chocolates- During a hectic shopping trip, Derek decides to buy a box of chocolates for his math tutor as a way to show his appreciation. After they return home, however, his two-year-old brother eats the chocolates himself!

2. Jaime's (Un)lucky Day- After Jaime (a high school student) spends all day making a special cake for his girlfriend, his younger sister accidentally knocks it to the floor. What appears to be a catastrophe ends up being a blessing in disguise.

3. A Gift from the Heart- Twins, Bella and Brandon, want to give their teacher a special gift, but they have no money to buy something special. An opportunity arises, though, and they can give Mrs. Strom a "gift from the heart". They realize that this type of gift is more meaningful than any store-bought gift could ever be!

4. A Valentine's Day Proposal- Mr. Chester (a P.E. teacher) decides to propose to Miss Carson (a classroom teacher). Best of all, he lets her students in on the secret, and they get to participate in the proposal!

Check the preview to check out the readability and to determine if it is appropriate for your students. (I wrote the scripts with my fourth and fifth-grade students in mind.)

********This resource is available in THREE FORMATS:

1. TRADITIONAL PRINTABLES- Print each PDF and make paper copies. Distribute the scripts and your students will read from these paper copies.
2. EASEL ACTIVITY- With this digital format, students can read their script from a device. Students can also use the highlighting tool to highlight their lines!
3. GOOGLE SLIDES ACTIVITY- Students can read their script from a device with this format as well.

This bundle also contains several "extras"!

• A Monday through Friday SYNOPSIS of the LESSON PLANS I write as my class prepares to perform these Readers' Theater scripts.
• A SUMMARY of each script
• A PAGE about PARTS (how many parts each script contains, and how I would divide the parts if I need more than 29 parts)
