What would you like to do?

Not sure where to start? Maybe you are looking for drama games to add into a session. Perhaps you would like to explore how drama techniques can help you to explore a theme. It could be that you need an idea of how to plan a drama lesson. If so, take a look at our lesson plans for The Gruffalo and World War Two Evacuees.  You could use these as they are or adapt them around your own theme.  If you would like to take things a bit further, you could consider attending a one-day drama course in London or buying one of our recommended books on drama. We also host selected relevant Teachers' TV programmes on Primary and Secondary drama.
