All children, even the most reluctant readers, love reading playscripts. The plays in Fun with Plays have been specially written by well-known writers for children aged 7 to 11 years. They range from re-tellings of traditional legends and performance plays to plays dealing with contemporary issues.

All the plays may be photocopied, making them ideal for use as part of the National Literacy Strategy.Guidance is given for performing each play. Notes for each play highlight topics for discussion. The collection of photocopiable worksheets at the back of the book helps to extend the plays further.
