Help children identify the features of playscripts and to write their own playscripts with this printable activity pack for teaching playscripts at KS2.

Children answer comprehension questions, continue a playscript in the same style, compare a playscript with a story and write a new playscript with the help of a planning template. The resource also features a speaking and listening task. The perfect resource for busy upper KS2 teachers!

An extract from the resource:

How do we find out how James and Mum feel in the playscript?

How is this different in the story?

What extra information do we find out in the story?

Which do you prefer and why?

You are going to write a playscript entitled ‘It’s not fair’, where there is some tension between the characters. Remember, in a playscript you have to show the characters’ emotions and actions through speech.
