Why book 'Christmas Elf Workshop' with The Drama Hut

During this workshop, you will meet 'Trixie' one of Santa’s special helpers, who is so excited to entertain the children and ensure everyone is full of fun, festive spirit! Through games, role play, storytelling and improvisation, we will learn about the real meaning of Christmas and join in with some traditional carol singing.

This is a seasonal online workshop only, we can be present on a screen in the classroom or school hall via the magic of the internet! (Please see below info about our online sessions, they work very well!) We ask for a couple of details about your school in advance of our visit, that only Father Christmas would know, ensuring a truly magical tailored experience for you all, in the build up to Christmas!

Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?

Performing Arts

All our workshops are devised with enhancing primary curriculum learning in mind. Our professional actors deliver interactive, fun, educational sessions using improvisation, role play, song, script and movement helping to bring topic to life and cement learning.

Dance

Our workshops include tailored, fully interactive, drama games, role play, teamwork exercises, songs, movement and more, led by a professional costumed actor.

Music

This workshop includes music and lots of singing!

What size groups do you cater for?

 We typically run 60-120 minute workshops with up to 30 children at any one time and can offer special day rates for multiple classes. We are also able to provide two different topics on the same day for different year groups.

How does safeguarding work for online workshops?

Online sessions are jointly hosted by the teacher and our actor and may or may not be recorded, depending on the preference of the school. Ideally workshops take place in a school hall with a large screen, however, they can also work extremely well in a classroom, with desks pushed aside. Our Risk Assessment document is available upon request and is updated regularly to comply with all current advice and guidelines. 

What technology/devices/type of internet connection do schools need for an online workshop?

Online workshops are delivered live by professional actors and typically last 60-75 minutes each. They are structured in the same way as an on-site visit and have the advantage of utilising the benefits of technology – in particular, virtual backgrounds, enabling actors to transport children back in time, to any era or location. School will require a good internet connection and ideally a large screen to project our actor on to, so all the children have good visibility.

Do you offer access for visitors with disabilities?

Yes - the very nature of our workshops being so visual and experiential, has led to extremely positive feedback from teachers. 

Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

Yes - children with special educational needs really benefit and enjoy our workshops.
