As a theatre educator working with children, discovering Drama Notebook has truly been a game-changer. It’s one of the most valuable online platforms I’ve come across for drama teaching tools.

The site is packed with well-organized, age-appropriate materials—from lesson plans and creative games to scripts, exercises, and classroom activities. Everything is thoughtfully designed to support both beginners and experienced drama teachers.

What I love most about Drama Notebook:

The resources are easy to navigate and adapt for different age groups and class goals.

There’s a beautiful balance between structured learning and creative freedom.

Each activity is crafted to build essential skills like voice, movement, imagination, and communication.

I especially appreciate how the content encourages self-expression, teamwork, and confidence-building in a playful, meaningful way.

In short, Drama Notebook is the kind of resource I wish I had years ago.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to enrich your drama curriculum, this platform is necessary.

I stumbled across this website while looking for royalty free plays for kids. I love what I’ve seen! We are performing one this weekend - A Walk Before Breakfast. And I really like the monologue contest - we are encouraging our youth troupe members to participate. Thank you to Drama Notebook and the playwrights who have allowed people to use their plays.

I was asked by my daughter’s school to organize a play with their theater students grade 3 to 5 in a short time period. I had no experience with theater but thanks to Drama Notebook and the amazing script for Cinderella we found and many resources to plan our production the play was a huge success. We had 25 students participate in rehearsals over one month for a total of 20 hours. The parents and students loved it. We are already being asked to do it again. Thank you so much Drama Notebook you are an amazing resource for all.

This is an excellent website full of appropriate resources for facilitators and even parents. I can not recommend it enough.

 by Liam

Very helpful for my middle years classes. A good range of scripts and lots that interest kids to practice their acting and putting together a performance.

I have been using the Drama Notebook website to access condensed versions of Shakespeare's plays. The "(play title) in one hour" options have been perfect for my middle school classroom. These adaptations are great because they maintain much of the original language with some summarized portions. I appreciate that students can gain the experience with the language and the stories, without taking hours and hours to perform.

I am so grateful I found Drama Notebook! I was talked into starting drama club but had no experience. Drama Notebook gave me a place to start! After using a couple lessons, I gained confidence and was able to have meetings and have a blast! We used monologues, 2 person skits, and lots of mad libs! I got a 3 month subscription with 25 downloads and have started my own "drama notebook".

 by Christina

I expanded our 5-8 theatre program to go all the way down to kindergarten, and this site has been invaluable! I was able to find scene design resources and scripts for my middle schoolers, silly scripts for my elementary kids, and fun activities for my kindergartners. They were fast to respond when I had questions, and I would recommend this site to any drama teacher, new or old! I'll be back to check out the new and updated lessons!

 by Shine Arts

A fantastic collection of resources available at a really reasonable price. An absolute gem for small-business drama schools!

 by Dave Marty

I just happened across this website while looking for a short skit for a summer camp. Not only did I find what I needed, but the staff were also very helpful when I contacted them about ordering the script and making modifications to my subscription. I expect to access Drama Notebook again!

 by Marisa

Great resource! I’m new to teaching Drama and this site has been very helpful.

 by Mariam Fernandez

Really good monologues that I am using with my 4th Graders! My students loved them!

 by Jess Murray

As a new drama teacher, I am so glad I discovered drama notebook. It’s a fantastic resource which has considerably helped me. The kids love the games and scripts from Drama Notebook.

 by Tara

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.

 by Yota Panagopoulou

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!

 by Ken Walker

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.

 by Erin Iosebashvili

Very helpful materials for teaching drama as part of a literature course for EFL students. Thank you!

 by Sean

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!

 by Nicole Nippert

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!

 by Sumiah

I really enjoy the stuff from this site! My students love the lessons and skits that come from here.

 by Cheryl Wheatley

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!

 by Amanda Doggett

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.

 by Dave Marty

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.

 by Bobbie Williams

Very useful site. A large selection of activities, scripts, games and more.

 by Katerina

A wonderful website full of fun resources for school and other Drama groups. Pricing is reasonable for what you get. Thank you Drama Notebook!

 by Toni Brannen

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.

 by Julia Frost

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.

 by Janine Heft

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!

 by Danielle

Great resource with lots of new ideas. It helped me to freshen up my curriculum after teaching middle school drama for 7 years.

 by Kay

I loved this site and how many different types of drama activities and skits it provides! I would highly recommend!

 by Amy

Lots of fun and original resources to use in the Drama classroom. Always well received by the students. Thank you!

 by Patricia

I’m an “almost” retired theater teacher. Drama Notebook is an essential tool for theater teachers of all ages!!!

 by Kelsey

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.

 by Kristin Liles

This was a great resource and we had a lot of fun doing some of these in our homeschool co-op.

 by Summer

Great resource! I appreciated the help finding scenes my kids could work on.

 by Jana M

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!

 by Soledad

Drama Notebook is a great site! They have all the resources you need to upgrade your classes!

 by Anna

Great website! Super fun and helpful.

 by Tiffany

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!

 by Benjamin Yates

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.

 by Joyce Stork

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.

 by BK

Great website, with many scripts to help my students practice their public speaking skills.

 by Sadie

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!

 by Lea

This website was just what my student needed for her school project! Easy to use and many great options for her performance.

 by Karen Martini

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.

 by Christine Newitt

What a fabulous set of resources for our church drama group. Looking forward to performing them with the gang.

 by Kim Porter

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!
