Scriptwriter
After predicting a punchline or event on a favorite show, your child may pipe up, ‘I remember when I wrote that!’ With this activity, your child will get the chance to come up with some new lines.
Suggest that he or she writes to the producer of a favorite programmed requesting a sample script. The whole family can read the sample script aloud, each person taking one or two parts as needed.
After coming up with a plot, your child may want to review some of the scriptwriting conventions and take a turn at writing a show segment. When finished, your scriptwriter can ask family members to assemble for another reading — this time a reading of his or her own script.
Upon hearing the lines, the scriptwriter may want to make some changes or additions. If your family has a video camera or access to one, it might be fun to tape the script using the family players and a few simple props and costumes.
