Elementary School Reading Scripts

Some social and emotional skills needed to collaborate with each other on a readers theatre performance are:

• Empathy
• Resilience
• Communication
• Cooperation
• Confidence
• Emotional regulation

To ensure the students are set up for success, before they are sent off into the wild for readers theatre there needs to be guidelines and clear expectations. An example of some Readers Theatre rules could be

Be Kind: Listen to each other and treat everyone with respect.

Join In: Everyone gets a chance to be part of the fun!

Teamwork Rocks: Work together to make our performance shine.

Get Ready: Practice your lines and cues before rehearsals.

Talk It Out: Share ideas and listen to each other's suggestions.

Try New Things: Be open to trying different ways of doing things.

Solve Problems Together: Work as a team to overcome any challenges.

Say Thanks: Celebrate each other's hard work and talent.

Look Back and Learn: Reflect on what we did well and how we can improve.

Have Fun!: Let's make reader's theatre a blast for everyone!

About the Book

B-R-R-R-R! AH-CHOO! Sneezy the Snowman is cold, cold, cold. To warm up, he drinks cocoa, sits in a hot tub, stands near a warm fire–and melts! But the children know just what to do to build him up again–and make him feel “just right”. Hilarity chills the air with playful mixed-media illustrations by Stephen Gilpin as Sneezy attempts to warm himself with some silly results.

There are three versions included. The three versions are for two students, three students, and four students. Each version is 3 pages.

I hope you enjoy using this reader’s theater with your students.
