Wonderful resources - great if you are leading a Drama Club, and even as brain-breaks in a non-drama classroom setting!
1. I teach MS Health and Physical Education. I have 8th-grade students for a half-hour study hall daily in which most students have nothing to work on, and several of them are very interested in drama and performing. I have been searching for age-appropriate mini-skits, scenes for them to practice and perform one day every few weeks of study hall.
2. My experience with this site was amazing. Once I read through everything, I was able to search for exactly what would work best with this age group and our time.
3. Suggestions for improvement include...I can't think of anything right now...everything was great.
Thank you! My students have loved the acts/scenes they have performed.
Great material for drama classes! I used scripts for my duet acting class and the students loved it! Customer service was also very helpful and made me feel that there's always someone to cater for my needs and questions! Thank you!
These theater games and short scenes are very helpful for training students in a Musical Theater class combining drama and Vocal music. Thank you for this creative resource.
Very helpful materials for teaching drama as part of a literature course for EFL students. Thank you!
A lifeline for anybody starting out as a drama teacher! The primary school I work for asked me to start a new program this year and, while I do enjoy coming up with many of my own resources and lesson ideas, this website has been there every time I needed a bit of extra inspiration or felt stuck. The access to quality monologues and scripts is also nothing to be scoffed at!
Amazing range of resources that have significantly improved my experience as a first year drama teacher! The variety of lesson plans, materials, and scripts has been essential in my classroom. I could not recommend Drama Notebook enough!
I really enjoy the stuff from this site! My students love the lessons and skits that come from here.
I've been a Drama teacher for 20 years and it's challenging to find ready to go lessons, ideas and resources. I'm really grateful for Drama Notebook they have been my go-to when I need engaging ideas and lessons, thank you so much! The BEST!
I love the ease of use as a specialist teacher, who has been teaching Drama for 2 years now, only to the Year 6 cohort.
We have twice entered into a state Festival (competition) and have come second for both years.
I used the resources and games and the kids just love them.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Cheers.
Great resources from planning, scripts, games and activities. I had never taught drama before and this site definitely made this job so much easier. Students were engaged and excited about the course.
I just needed one script for a small drama class at an outer-space oriented camp this summer. I found "Space Travel Rap" and the personnel at Drama Notebook were very helpful in guiding me through the purchase process.
Very useful site. A large selection of activities, scripts, games and more.
A wonderful website full of fun resources for school and other Drama groups. Pricing is reasonable for what you get. Thank you Drama Notebook!
I really enjoyed the improv prompts. they were easy to implement into our classroom routine. I will be renewing my subscription again next school year... but bye for now.
As a an actor with no teaching experience this was such a huge help. It helped with creating lessons and was such a big timesaver. Really good material for primary and middle school students.
I've been teaching a small group of 4th graders drama this semester and wanted to find a wholesale, very short script that was not boring for exactly 5 kids! Came upon "Camp Soggy Lake" and loved it! Looking forward to the performance in front of chapel in a few weeks. What a nice resource for teachers Drama Notebook is!
Great resource with lots of new ideas. It helped me to freshen up my curriculum after teaching middle school drama for 7 years.
I loved this site and how many different types of drama activities and skits it provides! I would highly recommend!
Lots of fun and original resources to use in the Drama classroom. Always well received by the students. Thank you!
I’m an “almost” retired theater teacher. Drama Notebook is an essential tool for theater teachers of all ages!!!
I cannot imagine a more comprehensive or easier to access library of resources for a drama teacher of any age! So grateful for this tool.
This was a great resource and we had a lot of fun doing some of these in our homeschool co-op.
Great resource! I appreciated the help finding scenes my kids could work on.
Drama Notebook has some of the best written lesson plans. activities, and scripts that I have found! I am grateful for this resource. I am also so happy to be part of the Facebook group with other creative teachers!
Drama Notebook is a great site! They have all the resources you need to upgrade your classes!
Great website! Super fun and helpful.
This website was such a great resource of activities for my first year teaching an acting class. As a former actor myself finding the structure for a class seemed a little daunting but with lesson plans to get me going and new activities and games to keep the class engaged it made my first year of teaching acting fun and easier than I imagined!
The sheer amount of material and information that your website offers is unbelievable. It has met so many needs of mine, no matter what type classroom I'm in. The resources are incredible, and any time I feel like I'm stuck, I come here. My students love the content and I am endlessly appreciative of how well thought out everything is.
I have used several scripts as a preview or a summary of classic books. My 4th & 5th graders also then hear long excerpts of the actual books. The students love reading the scripts in class - readers theater style. They get exposed to excellent literature, but in an accessible way for their age. Drama Notebook is affordable and the scripts are quite varied. My students enjoy these very much.
Great website, with many scripts to help my students practice their public speaking skills.
This is such a great site! There are so many resources and plays to choose from! The creator is very kind and helpful. She took time in helping me find the perfect play for my little group. She was what made my subscription beneficial. Thank you!
This website was just what my student needed for her school project! Easy to use and many great options for her performance.
I was so glad to find this website! The resources are thorough and easy to use. We found lots of great ideas. The task of doing a Shakespeare play was not so overwhelming with all the resources at hand on this site. Thank you for all the support.
What a fabulous set of resources for our church drama group. Looking forward to performing them with the gang.
Returning educator - love this resource! There are so many amazing activities here with various group sizes, age/ability levels, and genres. Keep writing and sharing!
The site was such a great resource for our students! So many different options to choose from!
My students LOVED the resources on this site! The plays were easy to learn and the content was fun. This will be my go to resource in the future.
Love! So many helpful resources.
Drama Notebook is the most wonderful resource for drama teachers. Janea has thought of everything from setting up your school, warm up, cool downs, lesson plans, poetry, plays, monologues and the list goes on. It is truly a genie in a bottle for drama teachers. Thank you, Janea.
Really helpful as a resource for scripts for young performers for classes, couldn't find any other site like it!
Amazing website that has tons of fantastic resources. My students found the plays engaging and hilarious, putting on a production with them now!
I have enjoyed using Drama notebook. They have a wide variety of plays available for casts of different sized and topics. They have amazing lessons to use. I just started a Drama club at my middle school and if it were not for Drama Notebook, I might have been lost.
Every resource is usable right away, which is invaluable when the biggest resource I'm lacking is time. In fact, if I had more time to explore, I'd probably use twice as much material as I'm using now!
Excellent site for drama teachers who teach kids and teens like myself, I use it regularly to update my knowledge and find some new tricks here and there. Great resource for scripts and lesson ideas as well. Thank you.
We are a theatre group in a retirement community, and we found a whodunnit play with lots of characters that we are rehearsing now to present to all residents. A great resource for us senior citizens as well as for young students.
This site was a wonderful help for our homeschool theatre group. I was able to easily gain ideas and insight into lesson planning. As we don't have money, I was only able to get a year's membership. That was more than enough though! I am so thankful for this membership! Thank you!
So many amazing resources available! Hard to pick and choose. Everything I tried in my classes went over very well. My favourite were the two person short skits.
I highly recommend this website for anyone involved in theater education or running a drama club. The site offers an incredible selection of scripts and methodological materials that are both practical and inspiring. The content is thoughtfully curated and caters to various age groups and skill levels, making it a versatile resource.
What stands out the most is the quality of the materials—they are well-structured, creative, and easy to adapt to different settings. Whether you're looking for ready-made scripts or guidance on organizing your theater lessons, this website has it all.
As someone who works with children, I find the resources invaluable for fostering creativity and making lessons engaging. It's clear that a lot of care and expertise went into creating this platform.
I’m genuinely impressed with the site's content and would recommend it to educators, theater enthusiasts, and anyone seeking inspiration for their drama activities!
I found it very helpful to find a skit for our homeschool co-op. I have 5 kids and there were many options for a skit 10 minutes and under for 5 characters, perfect for performing in front of other homeschoolers for our public speaking requirement. Most of them very clean and age appropriate for young viewers. Well written.
