No Monkeys, No Chocolate: Readers Theater

Many readers theater scripts have just ten or twelve parts, but this script has enough roles for every student in the class. The script also includes a variety of choruses (parts spoken by a group of children) to help keep students focused on the task. The script includes twenty-seven plant and animal roles and a narrator. The plant and animal parts vary in difficulty to accommodate children at a variety of reading levels. The narrator text is the most challenging. It can be read by an adult or by an advanced young reader.
