Coffee Can Theatre Drama Activity

Join Now

Imagine a coffee can covered with images and filled with intriguing objects. Students draw inspiration from the images on the outside as well as the contents to create original stories, devise scenes, or even write plays. This flexible activity encourages imagination, quick thinking, and collaboration, as each item becomes a catalyst for creative exploration and theatrical expression.

Coffee Can Theatre is a creative drama lesson that sparks imagination through visual storytelling. Just decorate a coffee can with a collage of images, fill it with small props, and watch it become a source of inspiration. This is a springboard for many different drama activities and great fun for any age group. Students can even create their own coffee can for a hands-on project.
