5.0 out of 5 stars The Play's the Thing!, August 2, 2001

Rune reader "runewright" (AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Easy-to-Read Folk and Fairy Tale Plays (Grades 1-3) (Paperback)

What a great little book! It contains 5 traditional folk tales and one modern tale.

The plays are divided into lots of easy-to-read parts which would be perfect for class presentations or puppet shows. Each story includes warm-up or introductory materials as well as extension activities.

This would be a wonderful gift for thespians in grades 1-3 or for their teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Students Love This!, October 19, 2006

This review is from: Easy-to-Read Folk and Fairy Tale Plays (Grades 1-3) (Paperback)

As a Title 1 teacher, I see groups of 3-5 kids in blocks of 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. My students love to be assigned a part(or two). Most stories have 5-6 speaking parts, and all of the stories have some sort of a moral. The reason why my students seem to enjoy these plays so much is that they get a chance to "shine" in these high interest tales.

A regular teacher with a larger class could effectively use this book during a center time activity, or at any time when groups are split up during a language arts block. This book will breathe a bit of fresh air into your lesson plans!
