Drama Resource is run by David Farmer - a professional theatre director, arts consultant and experienced primary school teacher. 

Many of the drama games collected and developed by David over the years can be found here, including activities for mime, storytelling, improvisation and many more categories.  These playful techniques can be used to stimulate creativity in children and adults, in education and the arts.

Drama strategies, ranging from Conscience Alley to Thought-Tracking, are ideal for teachers, enabling them to find stimulating and active techniques that will encourage students to work together to solve problems or to explore a theme.

You can find out how drama strategies work in curricular subjects by looking at our lesson plans for The Gruffalo and World War Two Evacuees.  Feel free to adapt these around your own theme!

We also host in-depth free videos produced by Teachers’ TV so that you can see how drama approaches are used in the classroom, at primary and secondary levels. 

Our tailored one-day courses in London enable hundreds of teachers, teaching assistants and freelance drama practitioners to experience and explore drama games and strategies with like-minded people.  Teachers, actors and directors attend workshops on directing and devising so that they can take away professional expertise to develop their own productions.

You can find many more resources, including dozens of recommended books, reviews, articles and a free newsletter bringing you details of updates and additions to the site.  And if you become a fan, you could always join our Facebook group to connect with hundreds of like-minded people across the world.
