The Stuck Yo-Yo: A Play to Read Aloud
Read it with a partner, then read it again with feeling.

Read the play
Read the play with a partner three times. One partner reads Ravi and the other reads Lola. Switch parts each time. Words in ( ) tell you how to say a line, so do not read them out loud. The numbers show the lines.
The Stuck Yo-Yo
1Ravi: (happily) Look at my new yo-yo! It is red and shiny.
2Lola: Can you make it spin up and down?
3Ravi: Watch this. Down it goes... Oh no! It is stuck at the bottom.
4Lola: (calmly) Do not worry. Give the string a quick little tug.
5Ravi: Tug... tug... tug...
6Ravi: It came back up! I did it!
7Lola: Let's go show Grandpa!
8Ravi: (whispering) Shh. Grandpa is asleep on the couch.
9Lola: (whispering) Then we will show him after his nap.
