The follow-up activities to ‘Home’ focus on two areas: Drama Games/Exercises and Storytelling.

Drama Games and Exercises are useful starting points for exploring PSHE and Citizenship issues that enable young people to engage with broad themes. The activities are flexible and can be adapted for a specific group’s needs and to a variety of contexts. Ideal for starting a session or launching a project, the activities aid development of observation, concentration, memory, skills in speaking and listening. The activities encourage young people to interact positively with others and to respond appropriately to instruction.

Storytelling Exercises relate directly to the style of performance the young people will have seen and offer the same opportunities to explore the skills outlines above. The activities also open a door through which the surrounding community culture can enter the school. These exercises provide students with the tools to develop their own tales and relate their own experiences through story telling.
