Drama and Public Speaking Workshop

Brought to you by LoveKids

Based on The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl
(2-Day Performance-Based Workshop)

This workshop will be conducted as a Drama & Public Speaking, performance-based programme over two days, using The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl as an introduction to children’s literature.

Children will engage in expressive reading, character work and oral presentation. The focus is to help children speak with confidence, communicate clearly and express ideas meaningfully in front of others.

Across the two days, children will:

• Be introduced to a well-loved children’s literature text, building early literary awareness

• Learn to present a story in character, using voice, facial expression, posture and simple movement

• Develop public speaking confidence through supported, scaffolded speaking opportunities

• Practise clear articulation, volume control and expressive language

• Use simple props and light costumes to support imagination and characterisation

• Have opportunities to step forward individually in a role, while being encouraged and supported by peers

As part of the learning experience, photos will be taken of the children in character and each child will receive a certificate of participation as a meaningful record of their involvement and progress.

As this is a two-day workshop, the emphasis is on confidence-building, communication, expressive speaking and character-based storytelling, rather than a full staged performance. This ensures the experience is developmentally appropriate and enjoyable for all children.
