Reader's Theatre Holidays Around the World Script

Created by

Quality Counts

This is a superb TOP SELLING script to be used with 1st-3rd grade students that teaches a little about the different end of year holiday celebrations around the world. It is designed to be used with a whole class. Two choral groups mean that almost any sized class is appropriate. It is excellent to build fluency for young readers due to the amount of repetition. This is a politically correct play giving equal attention to the different traditions celebrated around the holiday season.

The Princess & the Pizza - Small Group Reader's Theater

Created by

Drama, EFL - ESL - ELD, English Language Arts

I have combined 2 Small Group Reader's Theaters into this package. They are the same title, The Princess and the Pizza but one is written for 3 characters and one is written for 4. It is a twist on the Princess and the Pea. When performing these, my students compare and contrast the original story and then these two using a Venn Diagram. The moral in these stories deals with when a person should get married and why but it is also meant to be funny. The reason I rewrote the story twice is that I

Fun Small Group Reader's Theaters for First Grade Leveled Readers

Created by

Drama, EFL - ESL - ELD, For All Subject Areas

This group of scripts was written for my lower level reading groups. They are all on a 1st grade level. The number of characters goes from 3 to 5. Some are funny, some tell a story, and all encourage the struggling reader to read out loud. The problem I find with most scripts written on a lower level is that they can be boring and have too many characters. I have written these in order to address those issues. Three of them are fairy tales. If you purchase this package you will get six scripts.

You can find a lot of scripts for Beauty and the Beast online, so why would you need this one?
