Educational Skits--Stresses is a fun and easy way to teach children about things they may face and how to cope with them. It deals with Strangers, Fear of the Dark, Getting Braces, A New Baby in the Home, Moving, and Handicaps. Each skit is followed by five follow up exercises to discuss or further immerse the student in the skit's subject. These short plays (4 to 7 minutes in length) can be presented with child actors, puppets or as classroom readings. Often they have been performed by in the upper grades to entertain and teach kids in the lower grades. With small casts and simple settings, these are ideal for use in the classroom or other educational setting.
