The Boy Who Cried Wolf (Older Elementary School Readers)

You might use a whole kindergarten class (or other younger readers) for the Sheep Readers Chorus lines, then assign individual solo reading parts to appropriate readers of varying ages. Simple costume pieces and/or props, creative gestures, and use of facial expressions work well with this script and will help define each character.

Readers Chorus: Flock of Sheep (as few or as many as you'd like)
