This Year 4 assembly script, “The Glory of the Ancient Greeks”, introduces children to Ancient Greek history, mythology, and storytelling in a fun, accessible way. Through 30 speaking parts, pupils retell the story of the Parthenon, the Greek gods, life in Athens and Sparta, and the famous Trojan Horse. The script is written entirely in rhyme, making it engaging and memorable for young learners.
The assembly includes clear stage directions for every speaking part, ensuring smooth transitions and helping children bring the performance to life with movement, gesture, and expression. It concludes with a lively Horrible Histories song, “It’s All Greek to Me”, for the whole class to perform together.
This assembly not only supports the history curriculum but also develops pupils’ confidence in speaking, teamwork, and performance skills.
