Yr 7 & 8 Drama Challenge
This fun and fast-paced activity introduces the idea of a stimulus — a creative starting point to inspire original drama.
Each of the 24 unique cards contains a surprising, mysterious, or funny line designed to spark imagination and kickstart devising.
How it works:
Cards are placed in a hat or face down on a table/floor.
One student from each group picks 1 or 2 cards at random.
Groups then devise a short piece (3–5 mins) that must include their chosen line(s).
You can use the line as inspiration for the plot, a character, or a key moment - It’s up to you!
This is a great opportunity for KS3 students to explore storytelling, character work, and improvisation, all through play.
Ideal for Youth Theatres or Drama Clubs
