Drama resources

This web is full of drama games and strategies that we can use to train our students' drama skills, and other type of abilities too. They have divided the games in objectives such as, group cohesion or improvisation, this is very helpful to meet our students needs.

For example, if we realise that our students are a bit shy, we can use a game which objective is to make students trust their classmates.

Another positive aspect, is that they inform the reader of the level of expertise of students, the number of participants, the skills worked, and the time needed.

We would recommend to take a look at the webpage and think about which games would benefit more your students, and in which ways you can use them to improve their English skills.

This web is similar to the webpage above, with different games and strategies.

It also adds some apps, videos, and lessons to download, which we think are very useful.

Instead of informing the teacher about the level of expertise of each activity, it informs about the age students should have to carry out the activity. It also explain the aim of the activity, the number of participants, and the time needed.

In contrast with Drama toolkit, this webpage is more complete and intuitive. Nevertheless, both webpages have lots of nice ideas!

This webpage has lots of different scripts we can use in our EFL lessons. This way we can work, not only listening and speaking skills, but also reading.

Another skill that we can develop thanks to this webpage, is writing, since it has some play writing activities to carry out in class.

It also includes video tips with common issues that can happen throughout drama lessons.

One thing that we particularly liked, was the fact that it includes activities about English literature and classical literature, such as Shakespeare or Ancient Greek theatre.

As this blog aims to combine arts and learning english, we think that it is essential to include some resources which help us to carry out drama activities. Drama on it's own works out cooperation and decision making skills, emphathy and it prompts the students to exchange knowledge. (Boudreault, 2010). Moreover, as Boudreault (2010) emphasized, if we introduce drama and roleplays in our EFL classroom we will also be developing speaking and listening skills. The author states some of the benefits drama can have, such as fluent interaction in the target language, and learning meaningfully new vocabulary and structures. Wessels (1987), does also add that roleplays can improve students' self confidence in the target language skills.
