Snow-Man: Hot Hot Hot! — The Play

It's the middle of December, but Shiverton has been hit by a heat wave. All the snow is melting and running downhill. Could this be the work of Ray Burn and his giant pair of sunglasses? Why does he want to flood the Shiverton Museum of Really Expensive Stuff? To find out, Cole will have to munch on a carrot and become the world's coolest superhero — SNOW-MAN!

For seven speaking parts.

HOT HOT HOT! is ideal for reluctant readers, with each character having a varying number of lines and reading level so everyone can be included. This humorous work is guaranteed not to get a chilly reception from your class and will draw struggling readers into the unfolding story.

Celebrate the National Year of Reading with Penny Plays!

The National Year of Reading is all about breaking down barriers and finding the joy in every word. For struggling or reluctant readers, traditional texts can sometimes feel like a mountain to climb. One of the most effective — and most engaging — ways to bridge that gap is through the power of performance.

Integrating drama into your literacy toolkit does more than just help children decode words; it transforms the reading experience into a social, oral event.

• Mastering Oracy & Expression: By enacting a play, students develop vital oracy skills. They learn to use their voices purposefully, experimenting with tone, volume, and emotion to bring a character to life.
• Building Fluency Through Repetition: Rehearsing a script requires reading the same lines multiple times. This natural repetition builds reading fluency without it feeling like a repetitive chore.
• Confidence in Community: Performing in small, supportive groups helps take the "performance anxiety" out of reading. It builds a collaborative community where every student has a role to play.
• Pure Engagement: Drama turns reading into a real-life, interactive experience. When students are "doing" rather than just "viewing," their motivation to engage with the text skyrockets.
