How to use these self-management role play scenarios
Grade fit
The scenes are set at school, at home and around town, in situations elementary students meet. Students can read these role play scripts aloud or use their own words, which keeps them workable across Grades 2–5.
Good to know
You choose who plays each role while the rest of the class watches and discusses, so plan for a little open space and a few simple props.
Questions teachers ask
How long does a lesson take?
The detailed script plans 5–7 minutes for the introduction, 10–15 minutes for the role play and 5–10 minutes for sharing and discussion.
Do students need to read well?
No. Students can read the scripts aloud or act the scene in their own words after you read it.
Is this the full set or a sample?
It’s a full set: 20 scenes, 100 discussion cards and the teacher script, free with a free account.
