This script is a Reader's Theater style skit, perfect for learning about our Catholic Saints!

Saint John Bosco (1815-1888) was born in a small village in northern Italy. His father passed away when he was just two years old, leaving his mother to raise him and his two brothers. From a young age, Bosco felt called to serve the poor and help disadvantaged youth. He studied hard and eventually became a priest. Recognizing the struggles of young boys in his community, he dedicated his life to their education and well-being.

Bosco founded the Salesian Society in 1859, which focused on providing education and vocational training to boys. He believed that love and kindness were the most effective tools for teaching, advocating for a nurturing approach to education. His innovative methods included engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and fostering a sense of family among students. He established schools, orphanages, and youth centers throughout Italy and beyond, transforming countless lives in the process.

Through this format, students can immerse themselves in the narrative and bring it to life with their unique interpretations.

Benefits of Using Reader's Theater:

• Engagement: Students can take on different roles, use various accents, and add humor to the story, making learning fun and interactive.
• Teamwork: The collaborative nature encourages students to work together, enhancing their social skills and cooperation.
• Accessibility: Minimal memorization is required, allowing all students to participate comfortably and confidently.
• Comprehension: Acting out the skit reinforces the content and helps students understand the saint's mission and values on a deeper level.

Saint Plays are an effective, quick, and easy lesson plan. They are ready to use—simply print and hand them out to students. This play can be performed in various ways:

• Formal Presentation: Students can practice and prepare to showcase their work to the class or during a parent night.
• In-Class Activity: Use the skit to introduce the story of a Catholic saint, providing an engaging and interactive way to learn.

In summary, incorporating reader's theater skits into your curriculum is a dynamic way to teach students about Catholic Saints while enhancing their reading, comprehension, and collaboration skills.
