Using Drama Strategies with Picture Books to teach PSHE & Relationships Education

ABOUT THE COURSE

Picture books are often used as a stimulus for PSHE and Relationships Education lessons in primary schools. Through whole-class Drama, children can be supported to engage personally, socially, emotionally, creatively and critically, (in a safely distanced way), with challenging subject matter. At times, the teacher can become a co-participant in role, helping ensure that the learning focus on PSHE and Relationships education remains clear and effective.

This course sets out necessary drama protocols, explains some key drama strategies, and explains ways of using them, within a KS1 and/or KS2 drama for PSHE and Relationships focussed lesson. Teachers will learn how to use drama strategies with a picture book, to enable their class to thoughtfully, collaboratively and practically consider relationship issues, risk avoidance, actions and consequences, moral dilemmas, kindness and ethical decision making, (both in and out of role).
