What educators are saying

This Readers Theater was the perfect way to end our solar system unit in Amplify CKLA. We invited parents in to watch our play and they loved it. The author took the time to plan this out and give lots of suggestions on how to orchestrate and execute it seamlessly. Well done. Thank you!
Thank you for this great play which not only addressed reading fluency, but also reviewed key facts about the solar system in an engaging way!

Description

Looking for a way to fit more into the school day? Save time by incorporating reading and science. This Solar System science play is an original script I wrote for my class as an end of the year performance for parents and students, but it may also be used as a high-interest space introduction or review!

It's filled with lots of scientific information about the sun, moons, planets, and other space objects, but even better, it's full of humor and fun! Your 3rd - 6th grade students will LOVE this high-interest play!

Specifically, it includes:

8 Page Play

11 Pages of Detailed Teacher Notes including simple costume suggestions, casting tips, stage decorations, props, suggested songs, and more.

Summary of the Play:

The Sun thinks he/she is the most important thing in the Solar System and isn't afraid to let everyone know it. With the guidance of each planet, including Venus, the diva, Saturn, the surfer, and each solar system object, the Sun realizes in the end, that each planet, moon, asteroid, comet, etc. has value.

There are 30 parts included in this play, but you can tailor the number to fit your class needs. The running time for this play is about 20 -25 minutes.
