Kelso's Choices SEL Play-"The Not So Funny Nickname."

In this SEL product you will receive a Reader's Theater type resource in which the students will practice reading, fluency, and social emotional learning. The title of this play is called "The Not So Funny Nickname." This play is best suited for first and second graders. There are parts within the play that have questions for the audience (AKA the classroom students who are not presenting the play.) The Kelso's Choices that are talked about in this play are tell them to stop and ignore it. There is also a point in which the characters decide to ask an adult for help. When students try one or two choices and the problem still is not fixed, it is encouraged to try and get an adult for help. If you are looking for a fun way to teach about kelso's choices and SEL, this is a great resource. I typically have students pick their roles and characters as this also helps kids practice compromise, flexibility and other social skills as they prepare and perform this play. I then have students highlight their lines and then read through the script. Next I have them think of props they might need to make or gather for the play and then practice the script another time with more acting and pizazz! Next they preform in front of their whole class. I have other plays in my store and you could have 5 groups of plays so each student can act. There is also room for a narrator, if needed, to ask the audience discussion questions and after the play discussion questions.
