About this resource
If you want to give students extra practice with writing plays, I have just the resource for you.
What You Get:
This is a Script Writing Template that was designed for elementary students who are working on or have mastered this skill. It also works well as a review for students. This is a 1-page printable.
How To Implement This Resource:
You can print off enough copies of the worksheets for each student to have. You may also choose to print only a few copies and laminate those. If you choose to laminate them, students can use dry erase markers to complete the worksheet. This makes a great small group or reading centre activity.
The Script Writing Template is a blank template that features 3 columns – character, dialogue, and stage directions. Students will use this template if they are working on writing a script for a play. This will give them space to brainstorm and jot down their thoughts.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Organize an original script draft into its three core components — speaker, spoken dialogue, and stage direction — using a structured template.
Teaching tips
Since the template is entirely blank, pair it with a specific play-writing prompt or scenario before assigning it, so students have a starting point for content.
Laminate a small stack of copies for a reading-centre or small-group rotation where students use dry-erase markers, rather than printing a new copy per student every time.
Use as a review tool for students who have already been taught the character/dialogue/stage-direction structure, since the template itself does not teach or define these terms.
Skills covered
Script structure organization — students place their own original content into the three standard components of a play script: character, dialogue, and stage direction.
Dialogue and stage-direction distinction — the template's separate columns require students to distinguish what a character says (dialogue) from what a character does (stage direction), a core script-writing skill.
