Bring some drama to your school!

We run unique, exciting drama and imaginative play classes for children up to seven years old.

Aside from the fact that drama and imaginative play is lots of fun, it is also widely acknowledged to have huge developmental benefits, helping to improve confidence, communication and other social skills. 

What happens in a Pyjama Drama session?

For children up to five years old the Pyjama Drama teacher helps gently guide the children through an imaginative role-play with the children playing a key part in shaping the direction of the drama. From five years each session begins with the leader telling the opening of a simple story to the point of conflict or climax. Children then work together to find a resolution or ending to the story, from which all subsequent games and activities are based. As at this age children are increasingly more independent leaners, they are also introduced to simple drama simple drama tools to explore characters and events in their story, for example, hot seating, freeze frame or narration.
