No drama experience or drama skills required, 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 in your practice. Perfect for teachers, LSAs, childminders, nursery staff, nannies, and SEND. 

Aims of the course

Intended outcomes
  • Establish how drama and imaginative play can help target children’s personal, social and emotional development (EYFS), specifically their emotional literacy
  • Lead Pyjama Drama activities with confidence, no matter what your prior experience of drama
  • Employ simple, tried-and-tested techniques that help children recognise, name, and manage their emotions

Pyjama Drama was established in 2005 in the UK, and since then, has enjoyed international success. We are experienced teachers who train other practitioners how to use our drama and imaginative play techniques and resources to develop children’s life skills and meet UK curriculum objectives (2 – 11 years). Many people believe they can’t ‘do drama’, but nothing could be further from the truth. We have successfully trained people from all over the world, from the most to the least confident, and the majority with little or no prior drama experience. We believe drama should play a part in every child’s life, but we don’t want to create child actors. All our activities are designed to ignite children’s imaginations while developing the skills they need to lead happy and successful lives.

Are you looking for ways to develop your children’s emotional literacy and self-regulation skills? Do you recognise that drama is the perfect tool to develop PSED but don’t have any training or drama experience?  

In this course, we will show you how easy it is to use our techniques in your classroom, techniques we’ve been using for over 20-years and that help children learn to recognise, name, and manage their emotions. 

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done drama before and there’s no need to be nervous about using it as a teaching tool – 100% of people who have attended our courses report feeling more confident by the end than at the beginning and are excited to put what they have learned into practise.
