Winken, Blinken, and Nod the Story of a Dream - RHYMING Readers' Theater

Created by

This reader's theater was written for a small group of 4 students. The entire script is told in rhyme and the words that rhyme are in bold. It is a sad but true statement that most students now-a-days have not heard of Mother Goose or many of the poems put together under that title. This is why I have taken some of the poems and made them into reader’s theaters. In the script, I have taken Winken, Blinken, and Nod and kept it in rhyme but enhanced it so that it makes it more of a journey. They
