Drama/Creative Play Tour

Dels Deliveries is a series of 90 minute workshops for key stage 2 S.L.D./P.M.L.D. students.

Del delivers parcels for a living, and in each session he takes the students with him to deliver a parcel to a customer.

Each customer has different games and exercises that are associated with their profession as well as being educational and entertaining. They also have a simple song that describes their job and is easy to join in.

The journeys to and back from each character are realised via video projection of a road journey. The film gives opportunities to learn left and right, traffic light sequences, and road signs. The return journey also includes a memory game.

Using this format, we are able to work on many different curricular activities including number and letter recognition, and sorting skills (by colour, by shape, by size, by weight, by texture, etc.).

PHSE and communication skills are also addressed in enjoyable and accessible ways.

Our Play Leaders use Symbols and Makaton where appropriate, and include plenty of tactile material.

Our session format helps provide a real sense of routine, which staff tell us helps their students feel comfortable and confident. This in turn helps them to focus and take part more fully in the sessions.

The school is left with a CD of all the music used during the Tour for recall and recap sessions.

"Scope for simple, imaginative drama, a nice framework over a long period of time that the children understood, good visual materials."

CLASS TEACHER, KINGSWESTON SCHOOL

"The students's enthusiasm and pleasure were very evident, and some who are usually rather quiet and passive became keen vocal contributors."

CLASS TEACHER, NEW FOSSEWAY SCHOOL

"...it was a huge success ...inspirational, exciting and energetic ...in the words of one of our students, you were better than telly!"
