Creative Drama Lesson Introduction for Preschool/Nursery

Welcome to Our Magical Theatre!

Setting the Scene

Today, we are going to step into a world of imagination and creativity - a place where we can be anything we want! Before we dive into our drama activities, let’s set the scene together.

The Magic Box

Gather the children in a circle and introduce "The Magic Box". It could be a simple cardboard box or a colourful fabric bag. Explain that this box contains special items that can transform us into different characters or help us tell stories.

Instructions:

  1. Invite Each Child: Pass the box around, allowing each child to reach inside without looking and pull out an item.
  2. Explore the Items: Encourage them to share what they found, and prompt them with questions:
    • What does this remind you of?
    • Who could you be with this item?

Examples of Items:

The Adventure Begins!

After everyone has shared their items, explain that each of these objects can lead to an exciting story or character.

Story Time:

To spark their imaginations, tell a short story that incorporates some of the items as characters or props. For instance:

"Once upon a time, in a magical forest, a brave little bird named Beaky wanted to help his friends. One day, he found a sparkling feather that could grant wishes. Alongside Sir Toy, a tiny knight, they embarked on a quest to find out what the wishes would bring..."

Let's Act It Out!

Transition into the drama activities by telling the children that they will have the chance to act out the adventure together. Encourage them to use their imagination to become the characters from the story and use their items in their scenes!

Conclusion

With a twinkling touch of magic and a sprinkle of creativity, we’re all ready to play! Let's take our first steps into our very own drama performance, where we can all be stars! 🌟

This engaging and interactive introduction will set the stage for a fun and educational drama lesson, igniting the young imaginations and inviting them to explore their creativity!
