Beauty and the Beast Script for Primary School ESL/EFL Play
You can find a lot of scripts for Beauty and the Beast online, so why would you need this one? I couldn't use any of the ones I found on the internet because they used English that was too difficult for my students. The students were speakers of English as a foreign language, so I had no choice but to write my own in simplified English language. This play was performed by primary one through six students in a private school evening event in Thailand. The play lasts 15 to 20 minutes on stage.
