How about you camp counselors out there? Drama camp?
If so, here's a terrific resource from one of my favorite blogs.
Reader’s Theater puts the kid INTO the story, inhabiting his favorite hero, villain or sidekick. Words on a page literally come to life when real kids stand up to act out a scene.
That's from Tami Lewis Brown over at FROM THE MIXED UP FILES, a blog every writer/ reader/teacher of Middle Grade novels should bookmark right now.
Here's the link to Brown's post about Readers Theater:

And I posted a page with the Readers Theater script from GLORY BE.
Here it is, ready for your reading/ acting/ dramatic pleasure.
CLICK THIS for a short description of the Readers Theater a funny, hammy, dramatic group of writers did together at the Texas Library Association.
