What is drama?

Drama is when people act out stories to make them come alive and feel exciting.

Imagine you're playing pretend with your toys, but instead of just talking about what happens, you do it, like jumping around like a superhero or whispering secrets like a spy. That’s drama!

Drama is all about showing how characters feel and what they’re thinking, not just saying it. Think of it like a game where everyone gets to be a different person for a while.

• If you're pretending to be a dragon, you might roar and stomp your feet.
• If you're the knight fighting the dragon, you might swing a sword and shout “Hello, dragon!”

Drama is like having a big, exciting story that you get to live inside. It helps you imagine things better because you’re not just listening, you’re being part of the action.

It’s like when your teacher reads a story out loud, but then you all get to act it out, suddenly, you're in the middle of the adventure!
