ABSTRACT

This chapter will give you a flavour of how drama can be taught in the primary school. First I describe a couple of projects to give you an idea of the range of activities which drama can encompass. Then I consider the special factors involved in teaching drama to different age groups. Finally I consider key factors such as protection and tension, as well as looking at a range of activities which you could use. Where technical drama terms are italicised they are described more fully in the glossary.
