By Clodagh
Some social and emotional skills needed to collaborate with each other on a readers theatre performance are:
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!
Readers Theatre Scripts
There are many out there to suit a whole range of different year levels and themes!
I’ve created these social and emotional learning readers theatre scripts for years 3-6, with each focusing on a different area.
The Kindness Crew
In this Readers Theatre script, your students will meet the unique characters of the Kindness Crew: Charlie, Grace and Emma, as they embark on a mission to teach Zog, an alien from Planet Meany, about the importance of kindness.
The Inner Voices
In this Readers Theatre script, your students will meet Emma and Liam, whose ‘inner champion’ and ‘inner critic’ accompany them for a day at school. Inner Champion offers positivity, encouragement and kindness… Whilst Inner Critic is negative, unhelpful and unkind.
The Emotion Busters
In this Readers Theatre script, your students will meet the unique characters of “The Emotion Busters”: Happy Harry, Sad Sally, Fearful Fred, Frustrated Fran and Angry Alex, as they drink a potion to suppress emotions they don’t like.
Resilient Riley
In this Readers Theatre script, your students will meet the unique characters of Resilient Riley and Non Resilient Riley. Resilient Riley steps up to date to day challenges, however Non Resilient Riley runs away and ends up feeling even worse.
