Book Week / Reading Week assembly show script and slides editable

Included is a script, powerpoint slides with sound effects embedded and a link to a suitable song.

I wrote this for a year 5 class for WBD, but have edited as a general ‘book week’ resource for copyright reasons. It is completely editable so that you can personalise it for your class.

The premise is that some very important documents have been stolen from the DfE containing a very important message for parents and children in book week. 4 book characters, who are special agents, are called together by James Bond to solve the crime. The characters are Agent Asha, Jack Stalwart, Alex Rider and Amari (from Amari and the Night Brothers.

The children travel through a portal into different books to retrieve the documents. I have left in the books I used, (Ice Trap and the 13 Storey Treehouse) which were class books we had read, but you can substitute your own. You can add more books to create more parts depending on the size of your class. there are currently 24. No part is too long, there are several one line parts and the costumes can be quite simple. We dressed the child agents in hoodies and jeans with large ID badges for simplicity.

Just before each scene a stranger tiptoes through and hides a large envelope marked “secret documents.” The dramatic reveal at the end is that it was James Bond himself who had stolen the documents as he was jealous of the younger generation of agents.

The secret documents spell out the message “READ MORE.”

Included is a set of powerpoint backgrounds with embedded sound effects and a link to a WBD song on YouTube which we used at the end.
