Pink Shirt Day Drama Circle | Paper

Learn about Pink Shirt Day and its origins in Canada with this simple drama game that also works well as a reading activity. It only takes moments to prepare the cards which take students about half an hour to an hour to complete.

Drama circles are similar to readers' theatre activities where students read small sections of text. They encourage listening and reading fluency. Best of all, they require only moments to prepare, but students are engaged and learning for an hour or more.

This engaging activity includes:

• directions on how to run a drama circle.
• a teacher quick guide.
• a set of 40 cards (in colour and ink-saving versions).
• a set of discussion questions to do after the drama activity.
• a variety of reading difficulties and amounts of text on the cards so you can differentiate easily for your students.
• a few blank cards if you need to change the language on a card.

Please see the preview for a general idea of the reading difficulty for each card.

 This activity supports:

• any lesson about bullying prevention or Pink Shirt Day.
