Additional Information

Description

Make your stories come alive! During these monthly Bluebonnet Book Bard meetings, kids will use Readers Theater scripts from Texas Library Association (TLA) to make current Bluebonnet Books come alive.

For these Readers Theater productions, there is no need to memorize lines or have rehearsals. Actors will keep their scripts during the entire show. Additionally, they will have a few small props and costume accessories to help create their characters and stories.

When this begin, participants will break up into groups, pick out of the selected scripts, and assign roles. (Caregivers are encouraged to play along too). Then everyone will have time to practice reading their scripts in their groups, before settling for the performance.

After the performances, kids will be asked if they read the Bluebonnet Books before that was performed and what they thought of the theatrical adaptation. You will also have reading trackers available to track which Bluebonnet Books they performed and which they have read.
