Doctor's Office Reader's Theater

Assign the 7 parts, read the script through once together, then perform with the props. It works well before a class health talk or for children who feel nervous about a checkup.

A cover and 4 pages. The first page lists the 7 characters (Narrator, Receptionist, Nurse, Dr. Lee, Mom, Kai and Rosa), 4 props (clipboard, thermometer, stethoscope, picture book) and reading tips. Then come 3 one-page scenes: The Waiting Room, where Kai feels a little nervous, The Checkup, where the nurse measures him and takes his temperature and Dr. Lee listens to his heart, and Goodbye, where Kai learns that going to the doctor helps him stay healthy.

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade community helpers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

Each script has parts for several readers. Children practice their lines, then read the script aloud together, which builds fluency and expression.
