Whole School Drama Literacy Project Workshop
Drama Geezers
Experience an enchanting journey as a young boy embarks on a thrilling adventure, encountering captivating characters, intriguing places, and magical creatures! Who will cross his path, and where will his travels lead him? It's all up to the audience!
Join The Drama Geezers for an interactive storytelling extravaganza, where children take the reins in crafting a brand-new tale through imaginative play. Together, they'll weave a narrative filled with whimsical characters and wild escapades, bringing the story to life before their very eyes. Once the adventure concludes, the children will immortalise their creation by sketching it on our giant paper!
Armed with only a blank storybook and a bag of props, The Drama Geezers eagerly await the participation of imaginative youngsters to embark on this epic storytelling adventure. Get ready to unleash your imagination and dive into the world of play!
This project can be delivered to one class or your whole school. With the whole school involved, each class creates the next chapter of the story, and when finished, the whole school story is printed for all to enjoy!
This project will inspire children to tell and write stories. Previous schools have been amazed at the follow up writing that has been completed back in class and at home!
