Here is a list of 100 creative scene prompts for the primary Drama class. Each of these prompts includes a setting plus an action or activity suitable for elementary-aged children.
This is a useful series of prompts for generating improvisations or scenes in the primary Drama classroom, where students use their imagination and work collaboratively in groups to develop magical and mysterious scenes in fascinating environments.
Here you’ll find enchanted gardens, haunted libraries, space stations, pirate ships, secret treehouses, wizard laboratories, fairy tale castles, and more.
Students will be making potions, playing with talking animals, finding artifacts from lost civilisations, locating ghost trains, time-travelling, participating in intergalactic races, and exploring underwater kingdoms.
Students will create interesting characters such as explorers, inventors, spies, pirates, astronauts, researchers, secret agents, adventurers, and others.
