This is a boardgame created to engage learners in component 1 of the BTEC Tech Award in Performing Arts. There are two games - one for the Dance and one for the Drama pathway. The boardgame includes our set works (West Side Story, Revelations, Swansong, Blood Brothers and Teechers) but is easily adapted to suit your own set works. Students can roll a dice to decide which questions to answer and in which order. It can be done as a game between peers or a solo task.

This is a Drama game that helps students to revisit key terminology (including styles, skills and job roles) and also practice their vocal clarity and articulation. Inspired by ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’s’ game of the same name - the game asks a student to have earphones on and face away from the board, another students to mime the words that will appear on the board. The other student will be given a set amount of time to guess the word their partner is miming. Perfect for a starter!

This is an activity that can be used as a starter, plenary or main activity in a lesson. I have found that it is a fun and engaging way to encourage students to re-visit knowledge and for you to assess learners understanding. You can pass a traditional pass the parcel.

You can easily adapt the questions to further meet/match your curriculum.
