Join the Dots uses drama exercises to explore a particular curriculum subject, topic or theme. From a one hour one-off workshop to a term long course, we can tailor make it to fit around your schedule and other activities. Our workshops also come with a teacher’s pack of supporting material for follow up work in the classroom.

Meet the Greeks:

Put on your sandals and come and meet the Greeks! Students explore the ancient Greek world though extended role-play. Whether they are sculptors, architects, Spartans, athletes or slaves, they must use their knowledge to teach their peers. Taking a tour of a theatre, interviewing a philosopher and even working as a chorus to create a short performance themselves this workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of the topic, expanding students knowledge and drama and analytical skills. Originally designed as an hour and a half workshop for year 6 but suitable for all KS2.

Meet the Mayans:

Adventure to Central America and discover the land of the Mayans. First meeting some modern Mayan people, the students will learn about the stories and traditions of their culture; then they must crack the code that will transport them back in time to the ancient city of Tikal where they will have a go at farming, astronomy, a ball game, a beauty contest and a gory ceremony of human sacrifice! Including discussion, role-play and interactive performance, students will also devise their own scenes to reflect the demise of the Ancient Mayan civilisation. This immersive workshop will provide a great overview of the topic whilst developing skills in drama and group work. Originally designed as an hour and a half workshop for year 6 but suitable for all KS2.
