War Horse Play Script Downloads

It’s not hard to find good free scripts for kids to perform: the first place to look is among the many scripts whose copyright has now lapsed, typically 50 or 70 years after the writer’s death. This includes many classic plays and though these may be challenging for younger children to perform, many of the plays of Shakespeare, for example, are will within the reach of high school aged kids. Shakespeare collections can be picked up cheaply in second hand bookshops and popular plays such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream and many others are available for free as Kindle downloads.

I used the first PPT to show pupils that it wasn't just horses that were used in WW1. I used this before starting War Horse. The second PPT is about propaganda used by the government regarding WW1 I have finally got round to adding a few more of the resources I made for this unit - these include learning about censorship, learning about different narratives, using different forms of writing to.

You could also consider writing your own script, either as a group using improvisation or as an individual.

There are also scripts by writers who have decided to make their work available free of charge – though be aware that just because of script appears online or otherwise for free does not necessarily mean you can print it and the writer may have reserved performance rights – so always check this out before using a script. A good source are the plays of D.M. Larson which are available both in print and online – a number of his plays are featured below.

Before using any script, and especially before performing one publicly, please check and comply with any conditions that the writer may have set-out in print or on their website.

Jack and the Beanstalk — Libretto by Marcy Telles, Music by Jason Sherbundy


Children’s Musical/ 4 Characters, 2 Men, 2 Women/ One Act


Synopsis: A musical version of the classic tale about a boy who must travel to the fair to sell his beloved cow. After a run-in with some buyers who think his cow is too scrawny, Jack meets an Old Woman who buys the cow for three beans. The beans, she promises, will allow him to ascend to the sky, where he’ll find a giant’s castle full of riches stolen from his late father.


When Jack angrily throws the beans aside, they grow into a giant beanstalk, which he climbs. At the top, he meets the Giant’s Sister, who hides him just in time: The Giant comes home and demands that his treasure — a goose, a purse filled with gold, and a singing Harp — be brought to him. Listening to the Harp, he falls asleep, and Jack and the Giant’s Sister escape down the beanstalk.


Home again, Jack is overjoyed to discover that his cow has been returned to him and, even better, they all learn a wonderful secret about the Giant’s Sister!


We also have other scripts based on Jack and the Beanstalk for large and small casts.
