What better way to celebrate Spring than to watch evergreens named Bill, Otto, and Luther come to life, . . . Or Mr. Toad hit the open road in his caravan . . . Or Jackie Robinson belt a triple.  At ReadAloudPlays.com we have a host of engaging readers theater play scripts to counteract those test-taking spring time blues. Take our newest script, The Reluctant Dragon, Kenneth Grahame’s classic story about a poetry-spouting dragon who must face-off against the heroic knight, Sir George. It’s loaded with action, character, and vocabulary—and like all our scripts, it’s been kid-tested, so we know your students will love it. It’s a perfect addition to your National Poetry Month activities!

Nature Talks Back is another fun one. It’s an awesome Earth Day activity or simply a great play to teach environmental concepts such as beneficial insects and plant communication. I recently used it with a class of fifth graders who, after working on it for three days, presented it with huge grins to a class of smiling third graders! What a kick!

And of course, it’s baseball season! Our Jackie Robinson play is simply exceptional. Narrated by the hot dog man and the peanut vendor at a modern Yankees game (sorry Red Sox fans), it shows the significance of Jackie Robinson’s breaking of the color barrier in a way that’s both powerful and fun. I dare say, you won’t find a better Jackie story anywhere!

These and other professionally-crafted and uniquely-imagined scripts such as Chicken Little, Grimm’s The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage, and Goldie Locks: Home Reno, are all available on our TpT storefront.

This resource was easy to use and very well organized. The directions were clear, and it fit perfectly with my 7th grade curriculum. My students stayed engaged, and it helped reinforce the skills we were working on. I will definitely use this again! Highly recommend for teachers looking for a ready-to-use activity.

Happy directing!
