Need drama activities that actually work with young children and do not take hours to prepare?
More Drama Workshops for Young Children gives you 10 brand new, ready to run workshops based on stories children already love, including The Ugly Duckling and The Magic Porridge Pot. You get a clear plan for each session, so you always know what to do next and children stay engaged from start to finish.
Every workshop follows the same simple structure.
Warm up
Start with a short movement story. Children join in immediately through simple actions, helping them focus and understand the story in a playful way.
Main activities
Move into drama games and role play that explore character, feelings, choices, and story events. Children practise speaking and listening, cooperation, and confident self expression while they play.
Wrap up
Finish with a quick reflection so children can share what they noticed and learned, supporting language and understanding without turning it into a lesson.
This book is ideal for teachers, early years educators, parents, and after school leaders who want drama that is fun, structured, and easy to deliver. Each workshop includes clear step by step instructions and a what you need list, so you can open the book, choose a story, and start straight away.
If you want children to move, imagine, speak, listen, and work together with joy, this book will give you everything you need to lead drama with confidence.
