Why Use Acting Scripts for Kids

Provide your homeschool with a drama script for kids, and you will see learning happen without your children even knowing. Performance brings language arts to life. When your children rehearse and remember lines of plays, skits, or other readings, they are practicing sentence syntax and how to read with emotion. They are interpreting the written word, practicing demonstrative body language, and considering their audience. They are building self-confidence, overcoming fears of public speaking, and learning to read feedback from viewers. They are discovering purpose for reading and writing and—most definitely—enjoying themselves while learning!

Your entire family will enjoy these royalty-free English play, skit, dramatic reading, and pageant scripts for children, which are arranged according to difficulty. Skits require little or no rehearsal and are often quite funny. Readings take fewer people and some rehearsal, while plays require more people and lots of rehearsal. Near the end of this page, you will find a few plays for advanced actors or older teens and a section for Christian scripts. At the very end, you will find resources for supporting your children as they explore acting. All together we’ve provided hours of creative arts fun.

Dive into drama and you’ll see how theater entertains not only the audience, it entertains the performers too!
