Play in a Day: KS2

play in a dayACT ON INFO turn up, start work with one class at the beginning of the day and at the end of the school day that class perform a 10-15 minute play in front of an audience.

Play in a Day drama workshops can be used to introduce or conclude topic work, to ease transition, to promote inclusion and for revision.

The play performed at the end of the day is a 10-15 minute ensemble piece using inventive theatre techniques such as choral speech, stylised movement and mime.

We encourage that if you have room, the rest of the school and parents are invited to watch the play at the end of the day.
