Aesop's Fables Plays for Young Children

This is a wonderful book. We've used it a lot with neighborhood plays. It's great because the book is divided into sections of plays for 2 actors, plays for 3 actors etc. The type-font is large and easy to read. Most plays are only 1-1/2 pages long. I take it with me when I help out in the schools or Sunday school as a back-up in case we run out of things to do and have to keep the kids busy 'til the end.

EASY plays for young elementary ages kids

Our homeschool group used this book successfully last year with a group of 40 kids from 1st through 7th grade. Each play is catergorized by number of players required. We further catergorized the plays by number of lines per part. Harder parts went to older students. The set up for each fable is minimal. The suggested props are things like one chair, a table, etc. Our students worked on these plays for about 20 minutes each meeting and were able to perform 9 plays after about 4 meetings. Since we meet only once a week, simplicity is important.
