Teaching 5th and 6th Grade students about the judicial system can be engaging when every child has a role to play in a mock trial. The Trial of Dayan drama script allows students to participate in various courtroom roles as a character is brought to the criminal justice system in a trial, and the “jurors” get to decide upon his verdict.

The script has speaking roles for:

  • Court Clerk
  • Judge
  • Prosecutor
  • Defense Lawyer
  • 3 Witnesses
  • Dayan, the defendant
  • 12 Jury Members (who will ad-lib their roles)

There are non-speaking roles for a bailiff and the courtroom spectators (the rest of the class).

Also included are links to websites with more information about the criminal justice systems of the following areas:

  • United States
  • Canada
  • England
  • Australia
  • New Zealand

NOTE: This script is also included in another larger unit linked below.
