I teach drama classes to children of all ages. I bought this book trying to find some plays that were easy enough for the little ones to read and found exactly what I was looking for! Not only are there short, easy to read plays for younger children, there are also some that are a little more grown up, and very funny! I was able to find plays for all of my classes, ranging from ages 6-16. Marvellous!

This book was great for short plays and I will be using them with my drama club. Some, i think, are better for reading groups than performing, but I would recommend this book. The price is fantastic.

This book of plays has really hit the spot with my 6 year old. She's at just the right stage to read the text independently, which is important to her enjoyment. We have read 2 characters each for her bed time story and she even took the book to school last week and enlisted two pals to do a play with her! The words are simple, the plays are 5-8 minutes long in the first half of the book and have between 4 and 7 characters. They are entertaining as well.

Play Time
Very simple playlets for younger children. The language used is simple and is good for those who find reading a challenge. However for my group it is a little juvenile. Read more
