Hopes & Dreams
Drama it.com is about finding ways to use Drama as a learning tool, to enhance the experience of learning for children. Practical ideas to get students moving, while developing and using their language skills alongside each other. As much as possible links are made to the New Zealand Curriculum.
The creation of this site and my hopes and dreams for it are embedded in my enjoyment of Drama and teaching. I am happy to share resources and hope that some of you will too. As well as your experiences. Become a member, it's free!
Check out the shop where there will be some resources for sale to help pay for this site. I am not being paid to do this, it is the love of Drama pushing me.
Have a look around the site. There are bound to be games or activities that you may recognise, or perhaps some you could share to be added.
