Teaching life skills through drama and imaginative play
Welcome to Pyjama Drama!
We educate young children through drama and imaginative play to develop their life skills. We offer classes, parties, and performances for children up to 7 years, award-winning drama and imaginative play training and resources for early years practitioners, and franchise opportunities.
UNICEF, UNESCO and WHO all list problem solving, critical thinking, communication, decision-making, creative thinking, interpersonal skills, self-awareness, empathy, coping with stress and dealing with emotions as the ten core life skills children need to lead happy, healthy, successful lives. You can see all these skills being developed at a Pyjama Drama class or at a party. Early years practitioners can learn how to use our techniques by taking a Pyjama Drama training course. Or you can join the team and develop children’s life skills by becoming a Pyjama Drama teacher yourself.

The power of drama and imaginative play
Drama is one of the most powerful ways to develop life skills. Pretend play accelerates language, nurtures empathy, builds confidence and teaches children about the world. It targets teamwork and builds resilience and self-esteem. Our classes meet the current requirements of the National Curriculum, specifically the three Prime Areas of Learning: Communication and language, Personal, social and emotional development, and Physical skills.
