I'm sure everyone could use a short play now and then to spark interest or just do something different with your younger learners.
I'm looking for scripts for fables or classic stories; anything from 5 - 10 minutes (longer is OK it just means I'll have to trim them down) for students from beginner and lower intermediate to intermediate.
The problem is that I am having a REALLY hard time finding anything suitable online. Does anybody have a good link to a site where you can print off or at least copy the scripts into a word document?

Thanks everyone.

Hi,

Check this site out:

http://www.english-zone.com/index.php?ID=96

It has a lot of short fables which you could modify. They are shorter than you need but you could give a fable to each student and have them guess the moral or one could read out the fable and another two students could act it out.

Obviously you'd have to modify the language according to the level.

Mike

Some great information on that site for sure but what I was really looking for were scripts of some sort; Goldilocks, Cinderella, Billy Goat Gruff that kind of stuff.
Thanks for the awesome link though.

There is a teaching book called 'Once upon a time' I think it is written by Paul Morgan. It used to be my favourite book until some b@gger nicked it out my office. Evil or Very Mad
