Every Day Is Mother's DayAre you looking for a fun and creative way to honor mothers?  Here's a very short, free  Readers Theater script entitled "Mom:  Every Day Is Mother's Day." 

Although this light-hearted Readers Theater script was written for choral Readers Theater, it could also work well as a puppet script for Mother's Day.  The annotated curriculum links for easy lesson plans not only cover craft and gift ideas, but also the history of Mother's Day.  

TIME:  a little over a minute  CAST: 2+  TONE:  cheerful   READABILITY:  .7 (Think primary level.) 

Here's a brief excerpt from the first page of this fun Readers Theater script:

Mom:  Every Day Is Mother’s Day
A Choral Readers Theater
By Carol Montgomery  ©2011


Guys:  You knew me way before I was born.

All:  Mom.

Girls:  You loved me, fed me, watched me ‘til morn’.

All:  Mom.

Springs:  You’ve got the kitchen cooking and working out a meal to feed the clan.

Summers:  Now all our tums are looking for something more than fast food, that’s the plan.

All:  Yum!

Girls:  You make our house a wonderful home.

All:  Mom.

Guys:  You make our hearts shine like the car chrome.

All:  Mom.

Falls:  You’ve done so much for us we can’t imagine all that you have sacrificed.

Winters:  You share your love with us and offer all your wisdom and advice.    (...continued to the surprise ending...)

TIME:  a little over a minute  CAST: 2+  TONE:  cheerful   READABILITY:  .7  (short lines) But, it's harder; I believe you should think of it as primary level, suitable for programs in grades K-5.  Early readers will need more help with vocabulary.  Enjoy!  And let us know if you record it!  :)

Praise from Teachers

...Keep doing what you are doing.  There are not enough quality scripts available for children and teens.  So many are inappropriate from a parent's perspective.  As a teacher I want to also build character and integrity while I teach a subject.  Why can't drama build up, inspire and be thought provoking?...Anyway, keep doing what you're doing...we need all the help we can get!
Jen H., Drama teacher

> ...I have been teaching for 35 years. RT has been part of my education journey for the majority of that time. Initially my experience with it was as a performance genre in the Drama Curriculum. Now I use it across the curriculum - a wonderful high motivation strategy in the language program - particularly reading - and so much more as you would know. I was drawn to your 'community' by the idea of leadership... I think what you're doing is wonderful..."
Graham B. Former primary teacher (now a Visual Art and Drama specialist)

Readers Theater All Year is the most comprehensive collection of Readers Theater scripts and resources I have found on the internet!...Thank you Carol for your leadership and vision and for making Readers Theater so accessible for teachers and parents.
Daniel Fiore, Elementary teacher/author What They Have Taught Me

I found the free readers theater online scripts, teaching tips, and curriculum teleseminars at Readers Theater All Year very inspirational to me. I used the Twelve Days of Christmas...Vacation script in my ESOL classes before Christmas break and my students all enjoyed it..
Lily T. Teacher (English for Speakers of Other Languages)

"> ..We did Squanto's Squash for the family on Thanksgiving and [my sons] participated and loved it. I am so excited about making this a major part of homeschooling. What a great way to learn!
Bethany P. Homeschooling Mom

> ...re: our script "The Earth Day Hen and Friends" I've used this! The kids love it. Thank you for sharing...It's just right for all levels in the class...Your free scripts are wonderful!...They learn so much from drama and reader's theatre...I see the shy ones gain confidence as they read. Fluency and prosody increases with reader's theatre...
Angela D., 3rd grade teacher
