When we think about drama, we immediately think of games! Games are the easiest way for students to get excited about drama. They are also beneficial as warm ups, ice breakers and encouraging team building within your class. On this page you will find links to games resources, examples and video links!
A common bookmarked website on any drama teacher's computer is David Farmer's Drama Resources. On his page you will find hundreds of games that come outlined with detailed instructions, learning objectives and timing.

Count To 20
This is one of the simplest, yet most challenging drama games. Sit or stand in a circle. The idea is for the group to count to twenty, one person saying one number at a time. Anybody can start the count. Then a different person says the next number – but if two or more people happen to speak at the same time, counting must start again from the beginning. It is possible to get to twenty if everybody really concentrates – but try and be relaxed as well.
Learning Objectives: To develop group awareness
Age Group: 9+
Participants: Whole group
