Good history plays
This book is a nice collection of plays from American history, starting with the explorers going through to 1900s. It is best suited for grades 4-6, but I have successfully used these plays with 7th grade.
At least 10 characters in most plays upper elementary/middle
10 plays include: Spanish Exploration, Pilgram's Arrival, Boston Tea Party, Trail of Tears, Oregon Trail, Women's Rights- Ain't I a Woman, Emancipation Proclaimation, Immigration, Pearl Harbor, Civil Rights.
There are extention activities and books that teacher/students can explore if they enjoyed the plays. Great for middle school or intermediate elementary.
A Great Resource!
This is an extremely helpful book. The American History plays are perfect for middle school students, and can be used as part of a unit. I'd recommend this to use for both in-classroom plays and those for the entire school to view.
