I'm a tired teacher just like you; fighting to balance the importance of my own life with the fun and high level of education I want to give my students.
I hope these resources save you time so you can focus on the important things in life.

Hilarious and fun script all about Robin Hood and Nottingham. Written for KS2 and beyond.

Assembly script based on the ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ poem. The script comprises of 30 parts. It has 12 narrators and 18 acting parts involving a lot of mime or dance.
The script is extremely adaptable and funny.
The original poem was wordy so it’s been altered slightly and would be most suitable for year 3/P4 and anything right through secondary school.
If you wanted to adapt it for a younger class I would recommend giving the narrators the words to read on cards rather than learning them off.
This Julia Donaldson Assembly is appropriate for year2-year6/p3-p7. It involves a lot of dressing up as famous book characters and three songs. It was a lot of fun doing this assembly and encouraged not only my class but the whole school to love and desire to read Julia Donalson books. It also has links to these songs, lyrics, actions and a some costume suggestions.
Enjoy!
A KS1 assembly retelling the story of ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ by Giles Andreae. One pupil acts as the narrator (thouh this can easily by edited to add more narrators), then there are 6 other speaking parts. Every other child will wear an animal mask and perform in a short dance. The assembly includes full script, ideas to encourage audience participation and links to 6 songs and actions.
I also used these dances to inform my PE lessons, the children loved this.
This is a FUN assembly for an active class and welcome break to memorizing lines.
Enjoy :)

It’s a fun assembly, hope you enjoy it :)
Adaptable assembly script of the Biblical character Esther.
This script retells the story and involves a lot of acting out scenes of the story with a narrator. There are 30 parts with a range of abilities and an optional dance link and prayer at the end.
I actually used this resources during anti bullying week to highlight how my pupils should stand up for one another even when it’s really difficult to do so, but a friend used it simply for an RE assembly. Esther is a great book to focus on for similarities between Judaism and Christianity as both religions have it in their Holy book.
Appropriate for end of year 2 - year 6.
Enjoy :)
This resource includes the script and 2 powerpoints for an assembly. Was originally for a year 5 class but can be adapted for any ks2 class.

The second powerpoint is a an ‘Egyptian’ version of Who Wants to be a millionaire. My school LOVED this assembly.

This is a fun Vikings assembly from year 2 to 6. It has 2 songs with youtube links and one link to a Viking thunder clap which is very simple and my kids loved learning. It covers Viking weapons, clothing and Gods. I also put some costume suggestions at the back of the script which would definitely cover a couple of art and dt lessons too. There are so many opportunities for fun acting and miming in this script too depending on the ability of your class.
Hope you enjoy it!

Class assembly/play script linking the 80's topic to the classic Hansel and Gretel Tale. It has a comedy theme and was a great stimulus for writing alternative endings to the Hansel and Gretel story.

Enjoy-my kids loved this assembly and even made tie-dye t-shirts for their costumes (it covered both a science and art lesson).
This assembly is based on the unit of work I completed with my class, therefore I’ve included a plan of what I completed throughout my lessons.
This was a great cross curricular topic and as you’ll see, I’ve included links to art and DT, literacy and ICT.
The assembly included an option between two songs and the words to a poem we performed.
There are also a number of templates to create jumping jacks, shadow puppets and zeotropes. The document marked zerotrope template was a great freebie from a childhood museum which has other ‘toy’ related worksheets and activities which I sent as homework.
I completed this summer term in a year 2 class, but to be hones at it is all about the work the children complete can really work from year 1 - 6.
We had such fun with this topic and assembly, I hope you do too!
