Get Festive with Christmas Readers Theatre Scripts

As teachers, we know the value of Christmas resources that are both fun for kids and aligned to the curriculum. With this set of Christmas readers theatre scripts from Teach Starter, you can celebrate the festive season while simultaneously strengthening your students’ reading skills!

The resource consists of three Christmas-themed readers theatre scripts. Each script is approximately two-and-a-half pages in length. Each script has five different roles and features Christmas favourites such as Mr and Mrs Claus, the elves and Santa’s trust reindeer. Each script has also been assessed for its Flesch-Kincaid reading level to help teachers differentiate when it comes time to assigning scripts to particular groups of students.

The scripts feature fun Christmas scenarios that will engage and entertain your students as they read. The scripts featured in this pack are:

  • Santa’s Cold
  • Santa Needs to Share
  • Santa’s Big Blunder

This set of Christmas readers theatre scripts downloads as a quick print PDF or editable Google Slides file. Simply print the scripts, assign roles and watch your students bring the text to life!
