Cliques Versus Groups Reader's Theater SEL Play

In this SEL resource, students will learn about cliques versus groups of friends. This is a reader's theater type resource in which students do not have to memorize their lines but the focus is mainly on teaching the lesson and comprehending the sel topic. The play is 5 pages long with 5 speaking parts. You can also include a narrator if you want. Some of the names are gender neutral. This is a resource for third, fourth and fifth grades. There are parts of the play where the actors and actresses freeze and there are audience participation moments. There are also discussion questions at the end to involve and engage the audience members (in other words, the rest of the class). Once you download this resource you can have students who are going to act out the play highlight their lines. Then the group can practice reading their lines and adding some acting along with this. There are prompts about the props recommended and the words in italics are for the actors to do (not say) and the setting in which the scene takes place. This is a pdf file.

I have four other SEL reader's theater plays so check them all out. You could divide the class into 4-5 groups (depending on how many students are in your class) and each student can participate int the play. The other plays I have available are about growth versus fixed mindset, sportsmanship, friendly or hurtful teasing and gossiping and rumors. Please feel free to check out my SEL store here:
