The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Play script (6-10 years)

A short play script for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, based on the original book by L. Frank Baum, for you to adapt for your class or school performance.

School plays are an incredible platform to introduce children to drama, to music, to theatre skills.

The school play enables a group, or class of children, to interact together and to work in a team. There is a role for everyone, whether the child:

• is an actor, who is comfortable learning lines and being on the stage

• loves singing and dancing

• enjoys making props, costumes, or helping with technical skills backstage, in sound or lighting

A positive experience in a school play boosts confidence and helps a child to feel valued. They can be performed at any time of the year and not just at Christmas. It is a good way to end a term and get parents more actively involved. They can be elaborately staged events, or just a simple assembly.

If you have read our book Park Lane School Presents... The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, why not put on your very own school production, using our play script as a starting point.
