Promoting engagement is a key factor in creating an effective learning environment. In my classroom, I use drama in a variety of ways and have always found it to be a wonderfully engaging motivator for my students. These Task Cards are a fantastic resource to help you bring drama into your class and enhance engagement in your students.

There are 72 cards in this pack. Each card contains three essential elements which a small group need to include in their role play performed within pre-determined planning and performance timeframes. I ensure that all members have equal performance and speaking roles and I try to create mixed ability groups. I normally allow for 30 to 45 minutes to complete a whole class activity of approximately 6 groups but single groups can complete a task in 5mins. Keeping the time frame tight seems to produce the best results! Here are just a few ways I have used these cards in my classroom. I’d love to hear of ways you find them successful !

Drama Lesson

» After forming groups (I find 3 or 4 per group works best), the teacher allocates a card to each.

» Groups are given a set time to create and rehearse as well as perform their role play. I find the best results

come from tight time frames of 5 to 7 minute creation/rehearsal and approximately 2 minute performance.

» Before each performance, read out the 3 elements and ask the audience to ensure that all are included.

Time Filler

» Great for when you have a spare few mins before a break or in between lessons. Simply select three or

four students to form a group and perform with minimal planning time.

Ice Breakers for start of year

» Use at the beginning of the year to allow students to get to know each other and instil self confidence.

Writing

» Use as story starter writing prompts for individual or whole class tasks.
