Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock play script cover

This delightful folktale about the trickster spider Anansi comes to life in this one-act play. Youngsters will enjoy the humor in the stories and learn a valuable moral lesson as well in this joyous comedy of animal characters.

Synopsis:
Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock finds the spider Anansi in the jungle the day he discovers a magical rock that makes people faint. The lazy Anansi decides to capitalize on his discovery and use the rock to trick the other jungle animals into fainting while he steals their food supplies. However the tables are turned when the other jungle animals discover what's going on, and Anansi finally gets what's coming to him.

Description:
In this 15-20-minute play all characters are animals and so can be any gender. It features 1 strong role (Anansi), and 8 strong supporting characters. Best for elementary school students, second or third grade up, but will work with uninhibited middle and high school students, especially if they are performing it as a children's play for a young audience.

" The script worked out great! I loved it! I especially loved how it was edited! With the "Yo Baby" and "What's up girl?"
"I am not a teacher yet. I am finishing up my last year at U of M and I had to teach a culturally relevant lesson to a third grade class. I was actually just searching the web for a script from the Anansi tale, so I did not have to write one up myself. That is how I came across your site and I loved it. The script was extremely easy to download and I will definitely use your site in the future
