The Refugee Cat Drama Unit (5-11 years)
KS1 and KS2 | Objective: To explore the real-life story of a refugee family and their cat using storytelling, discussion and drama activities.
Duration: 60-90 minutes
The extraordinary story of this family and their pet is told in a beautifully-illustrated book: Kuntz, D. and Shrodes, A. (2017). Lost and Found Cat. Crown Books
Sura and her family fled Iraq and became refugees in Europe. Their cat was lost on the journey. Following intervention from aid-workers and social media, the family and pet were reunited. A two-minute video (watch below) shows Kunkush, the refugee cat, being reunited with his family.
The full story is told within the lesson plan so it’s not essential to purchase the book – but it can be purchased separately from Amazon using this link.
The complete lesson plan explores challenges faced by refugees, and includes activities including storytelling, freeze frames, thought tracking, teacher in role, action clip and improvisation. There are opportunities for writing, discussion and visual art follow-up.
