Mercy Watson To the Rescue Reader's Theater Script
This script covers the entire book except for the final chapter. The script comes almost entirely from the book, with only slight changes to adapt it for theater! There are 9 roles in all. It works well if you have another adult flipping the pages of the actual book on a document camera for the audience to see the wonderful illustrations as the students act it out. The entire play takes about 15 minutes to present!
A great activity for second or early third graders!

Ant Chant for insect unit
This is a short army type chant. It can be used to help kids remember important facts about ants. Very cute for a short little production for a talent show or awards assembly. It was written with The Ants Go Marching tune in mind, but is to be done as a cool chant. I have done this with 1st-3rd grade. We always march out to the baby version of the song and then put on sunglasses for the actual performance. The kids love it!
