'MY PLAYFUL PRACTICE': LEARN HOW TO USE DRAMA AND IMAGINATIVE PLAY TO BECOME A MORE PLAYFUL PRACTITIONER AND NURTURE EAGER LEARNERS
From £395 per setting
This training session is for early years practitioners and teachers who want to learn how to be more playful in their practice to encourage cooperation, communication, attention, and curiosity - and meet curriculum objectives. You will learn how to use Pyjama Drama techniques to spark joyful interactions, ignite imaginations, create imaginary worlds for children to play and learn in, and how to adapt a Pyjama Drama game to any topic - all without the use of props or costumes. You're already one of the children's favourite adults, but with our techniques and approaches up your sleeve, you'll be even more adored, and you'll be boosting learning outcomes at the same time!
No drama experience or drama skills required and perfect even for those who may consider themselves naturally reserved - if you can put on different voices when reading a story, or make children laugh by pulling a funny face, we can show you how easy it is to use Pyjama Drama to become a more playful practitioner.
There is no expectation for attendees to ‘perform’ or role play during this course, they will learn by observing the trainer; watching and evaluating teacher demonstration videos; participating in whole/small group discussions, and trying out techniques and drama games in pairs/small groups.
Perfect for teachers, LSAs, childminders, nursery staff, nannies, and SEND.
