Drama teaching techniques
Open-knowledge reference entry
There are many methods for teaching drama. Each strategy involves varying levels of student participation.
Drama games
Drama games, activities and exercises are often used to introduce students to drama. These activities tend to be less intrusive and are highly participatory (e.g. Bang).
There are several books that have been written on using drama games. Games for Actors and Non-Actors by Augusto Boal includes writings on his life work as well as hundreds of games. There are also smaller books. For example, Drama Games by Bernie Warren is an excellent pocket book for someone looking to try drama games for the first time.

Choral dramatization involves students reading aloud by assigning parts to each group member, and can use texts such as rhymes, poetry and picture books.
