This lesson goes through some introductory warm up games for students new to drama. I’ve given a brief description of each game, but if you do a quick Google search you will usually find more details about how to play each game (YouTube is also good for this). Personally, I like to ask students at the end of each game what skills they think they needed to be successful at the game (e.g. teamwork, precise movements, memory, etc.) There are two lessons included - one for a classroom based lesson (i.e. no space to move!) and one for a hall/drama studio (more movement) Enjoying my free resources?

Perfect for a Year 9 group that aren’t keen on performing! At the end of the unit, pupils can either present their ideas or perform their devised piece. In this series of 6 lessons, pupils are given the stimulus that ‘Ryan Evans has just hit his Science teacher with a chair.’ Pupils then create a devised piece based on this using the carefully planned lessons and resources to guide them through it. For a reluctant Yr9 group they can present their ideas at the end of the unit if performing is too much of a challenge. Did you find this resource helpful?
