What‘s the Difference?: Plays About Tolerance - Children's Literature

Using role playing and reader’s theater offers strategies for young people to address personal development. These plays include: Who’s Got Game? Liz is new at summer basketball camp, not having played with any of the other girls. She feels better after one of the camp counselors reaches out to her in friendship. But when her roommate unpacks her designer clothes, they begin competing with each other. The coach emphasizes, “I need team players, not stars.” Lena, a special professional guest, suggests they figure out a few things about themselves. Can two stars with big egos, but diverse backgrounds, work together?
