Reader's Theatre in Literacy

The Three Little Pigs-Lauryn Crowe


Reader parts:  Narrator, Mother, first little pig, second little pig, third little pig, Big Bad Wolf.


Narrator: Once upon a time there were three little pigs, the time came for them to leave home
and seek their fortunes.


Mother: Before you leave, whatever you do, do the best that you can, because that’s the
way to get along in the world.


Narrator: The first little pig built his house out of straw because that’s the easiest thing to do.
The second little pig built his house out of sticks, this was a little bit stronger than the straw
house. The third little pig built his house out of bricks.

Narrator: One night the big bad wolf, who dearly loved to eat fat little piggies came along
and saw the first little pig in his straw house.


Big Bad wolf: Let me in, let me in little pig or I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!


First little pig: Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.


Narrator: But of course the wolf did blow the house in and ate the first little pig.


Narrator: The wolf then came to the house of sticks.


Big Bad wolf: Let me in, let me in or I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in.


Second little pig: Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.


Narrator: But the wolf did blow the house down too, and ate the second little pig.
The wolf then went to the brick house.


Big Bad Wolf: Let me in or I’ll blow your house down.


Third little pig: What ever.

Narrator: The wolf huffed and puffed but could not blow the house down. But
the wolf was a sly old wolf, and he climbed up on the roof to look for a way into the
brick house.

Narrator: The little pig saw the wolf climb onto the roof and lit a roaring fire in the fireplace
and placed on it a large kettle of water.  When the wolf finally found the hole in the chimney he
crawled down and KERSPLASH right into that kettle of water and that was the end of his
troubles with the big bad wolf.

Narrator: The next day the little pig invited his mother over.

Mother: You see it is just as I told you. The way to get along in the world is to do things as well
as you can, Fortunately for that other pig he learned that lesson.
