What educators are saying
I used this Reader's Theater story to supplement a World Geography lesson on African culture. It was highly engaging, amusing, and got all the students in class involved. They loved the story and the humor!
I got some scripts for my 7th graders to use in our world mythology and folklore unit. Lots of fun and this was more age appropriate than some of the other scripts I got. There were a good number of roles, so a good chunk of your students can participate in this play alone.

Description
Anansi, the world's original spider man, is one of folklore's greatest tricksters! Originating with the Ashanti people of Ghana, Africa, this story tells of one of Anansi's greatest feats: winning stories from Nyame the Sky God. He does so by defeating four fearsome creatures: Mmboro the hornet swarm, Osebo the leopard, Onini the python, and Mmoatia the fairy. With the help of his cunning wife, Aso, Anansi uses his spider skills to win the Sky God's stories for the humans of earth!
