Free Black History Reader’s Theater Scripts
Enjoyed our Black history reader’s theater scripts for our plays and rap musicals? Then this is the perfect opportunity for you!

Now, this is your chance to get in on the deal or do it again!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “By far one of the best things I’ve purchased! My struggling readers really worked on their fluency and expression with this resource. They even performed for other grade levels.” – Kelsey J.

Our previous, completed growing bundle is $14.50. If you want to save over $10 now, get this new growing bundle and get the free Black history reader’s theater scripts when they’re added!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I used this in combination with the rap version. It was perfect!” – Rosemary E.
Rap Opera for Kids believes that Black history is American history and should be included all year long. This growing bundle will give you the opportunity to do just that! Use one script for a Black History Month assembly, the other for partner reading, another for a class activity, a youth program, a summer camp, or just be ready all year long to take Black history beyond February!
