Description

Here's a fifteen minute comedy radio play adapted from the Grimms' Fairy Tale The Brave Little Tailor. This script has 20+ roles (plus crew) and was written especially for the classroom! Strengthen your students' listening, speaking, reading skills all at once. It's a one stop shop!

The story of The Brave Little Tailor: The brave little tailor kills seven flies with one blow, and manages to convince both giants and kings that he is indeed a force to be reckoned with. The hero in this story by the Brothers Grimm is armed with whit, cunning and a sense of humor. He conquers all before him, including a giant, a king and queen, and gets the princess.

The product includes:

  • Warm-up--My version of a popular exercise
  • A note to the director
  • Grimms' Brothers fact--some surprising!
  • Sound effects suggestions and how to use them
  • Music suggestions with links
  • How to stage a radio play with a floor plan for your use
  • Tips for voicing the roles
  • Radio theater terms (such as "up and under")
  • Fifteen page radio play script complete with sound and music cues written by an award winning author, me!
  • Original song--I'm the Greatest Giant
  • A commercial which can be used in the play or switched out with one of your students' own!

This is a crowd pleasing radio play created by an award-winning drama teacher and author with 38 years of experience.

HOW DO I USE THIS SCRIPT IN MY CLASSROOM? If I were you, I'd use it with a fairy tales unit, drama, gifted or reading class. Or perhaps in an ESL class. It's terrific for the end of a semester and will tickle parents and others attending.
