Humanities Through Drama: Harnessing the Power of Play
This practical course is mainly intended for class teachers of the Primary age range including Foundation Stage Teachers.
Theatre has its roots in child's play. By tapping into these roots which are deep both in the natural development of the individual and in the development of the human race, you will gain some insight into why some things work and some things struggle, especially at the start of lessons.
Problem solving through physical games, talk in pairs, hot seating and role-play will extend concepts in History and Geography. Pupils can revisit their drama to analyse the special subject vocabulary and skills they have used. Teachers can take this time to evaluate their pupils’ knowledge.
This workshop provides some of these simple basics of early play which can swiftly inform planning and also help engage classes within Geography and History lessons.
