Six original, funny Christmas readers’ theatre scripts for KS2 (ages 7 to 11). Children read aloud in small groups, using their voices to bring each story to life: no lines to learn, no costumes, no stage. Every part is marked with 1 to 3 stars for reading level, so mixed-ability groups work beautifully. Ready to print in A4 or US Letter, plus an editable Word copy.
