The Shipwreck Solution, a short children's play
What do a box jellyfish, a mako shark, an anglerfish and a tiger shark have in common? They all want to live in the abandonned shipwreck! No one wants to share, no one wants to give it up, and…uh oh…what if someone wants to eat someone else? Check out The Shipwreck Solution to discover if these four, very different creatures, can find a way to work it out!
This 5-7 minute comedic play has 4 characters (all can be male or female), designed for children, but teens and adults will have fun with these roles too!
The Shipwreck Solution is part of Tara Meddaugh’s Reader’s Theater series. These are great plays for any age in a theater setting, competition or classroom. But as Reader’s Theater, they are designed to make reading aloud enjoyable for children. Children don’t need to memorize or “perform,” but simply benefit from the act of reading out loud together, in dramatic form. Reader’s Theater can promote fluency, confidence, creativity, empathy, oral expression and connections among peers. Children at home or in the classroom enjoy reading these fun scripts aloud.
*The Shipwreck Solution also has a “Yes, It’s True” page featuring fun facts referencing the animals you read about, as well as a glossary with a few key terms.
