Who is this training for?

If you spend time with preschool children, recognise the power of their incredible imaginations, and want to learn how to lead imaginative play to develop their key skills, this training is for you.

What will I learn?

How imaginative play supports the seven areas of learning and development
How to create an imaginary world using two Pyjama Drama techniques*
How to use these techniques to deliver a Pyjama Drama game to 3 – 5-year-olds
These techniques have been used by Pyjama Drama play experts throughout the UK and internationally, since 2005

Do I have to be good at drama?

No, and we’ll never ask you to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Our techniques work for everyone – shy, confident, or somewhere in between because they’re simple to understand, easy to employ and don’t require you to be a good ‘actor’ or even be good at pretending. Not everyone was born for the stage, but if you can put on different voices when reading a story or pull faces that make children laugh, you can do drama, after all, drama is just another word for play!

What’s included?

A PDF Training Booklet (includes an overview of what is learned, lesson plan, and details of the challenges we set)
Music
Access to ongoing support via direct email and an online community support group
