Training dragons at KS2: A look at How to Train Your Dragon through Drama

KS 2
Cressida Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon is a contemporary classic. Full of humour, and also great drama, its well-rounded central character is a wonderful study in the growing pains of trying to fit in. This scheme of work provides an accompaniment to a classroom reading of the book, with games and exercises inspired by events and episodes from the text. The scheme has been written with the drama objectives of the KS2 National Curriculum in mind, and explores creating and sustaining roles, working in small groups to produce tableaux and short scenes, improvisation, presenting work in front of peers, as well as fun games to encourage focus and concentration.
