Everything was so easy to find, and there are so many fun, engaging ideas for kids in theatre. It made planning so much easier and helped me feel confident in the classroom.

I loved using Drama Notebook. It was easy to find good resources and there are tons of great ideas for kids in theatre!! I was a first year musical theatre teacher and this website saved me with games and improv ideas and monologues and so many creative lesson plans. Thank y'all so much!!
Very pleased with the content available at Drama Notebook. A great starting point and inspiration, especially if you've been doing this a long time... Keep up the great work!
I have used some of the early reader scripts for my High School ESOL students, as I encourage their speaking English in class for scenes. These scripts give them a feeling of accomplishment in their English and their acting. I look forward to exploring more, as I am new to this resource.
What a fantastic library of resources for both new and experienced drama teachers. It is so helpful with lesson planning! There seems to be a resource for everything. Very helpful and useful.
Love the variety of resources available and the range of ages they cater to. As a novice teacher just starting out, the ideas and material provided were invaluable.
I used this site to launch our middle school drama club. We would have been lost without! Amazing resource!
Drama Notebook is a fantastic resource for drama teachers who teach grades 1-12. I have had a subscription for several years and have used many of the lessons plans.
I stumbled across this site almost 3 years ago, and I have absolutely loved it!! It has been a wonderful resource for the small high school theater program at my school. I have found wonderfully helpful resources and supplemental teaching materials. I would recommend Drama Notebook to anyone needing guidance, direction, or just plain fun and entertaining dramatic or performance activities for the classroom or home use.
Love all the resources it has to offer and the scripts are easy to read and access.
I offered to teach children’s theater classes in our small community. I have worked a lot in theater but never taught classes so finding Drama Notebook was a Godsend. We have recently finished our classes and the kids response was amazing. They had so much fun that it was hard to get them to go home after class. The comment from one student to her mother was, “you know how most older people aren’t very fun? Well Mrs. Carter isn’t like that. She’s lots of fun.” And your programs helped me be just that. Thank you. I would recommend Drama Notebook to anyone involved in theater. We are about to perform our first play and are excited. With your help, I will continue to offer classes.
This site has been extremely useful!! I started teaching an after school arts Reader's Theater class for 4th and 5th graders and was struggling to find monologues to 2-3 person scripts then I came across the Drama Notebook. My students loved the fun scripts as well as the warm-up games and activities. I will definitely use Drama Notebook again in the upcoming classes.
Good site. I was able to find a play for my Christmas concert no problem.
Cute expressive scripts for kids beginning drama!
I came across Drama Notebook years ago, when I began teaching drama and performing arts to children. I've now been a subscriber and member for 4 or so years and it's so wonderful. The resources provided eliminate the hours of work required to create lesson plans and activities. I've mostly used the drama games, monologues and vocal warm ups for quick activities to break the ice in my classes. I've not used any of the scripts yet, but I'm sure I will. Very fortunate to have Drama Notebook to make teaching life easier, but also I'm learning a lot myself, as a teacher. Thank you for providing these wonderful resources.
I found Drama when searching for a play to use with my 4th graders students. There were so many plays to choose from and they are good quality scripts. I will know where to come looking for another play.
Great resources to use with all students aged from 5 up to teens. Great ideas.
This is probably way too long, but I kept thinking of more and more reasons I love Drama Notebook!

Drama Notebook is an amazing resource. I am a full time home mom and homeschool my 10 year old son who is screen free. These plays and scripts have supported his passion in acting. Thank you Drama Notebook!
As a homeschool mom, I was excited to lead a group of 20 middle school aged kids. They were interested in drama. I have never directed a play. Drama Notebook gave me the script that worked great for our group. It gave me support and theater games to play. We have had a great four months! As a busy mom I appreciated how organized the scripts are... I could easily find something short, funny and easy.
Thank you Drama Notebook. You inspire me as a drama teacher. I recommend this page because it is a very complete source of drama resources for teching different ages, communities and in many ways and aspects. Thank you very much.
This site has helped our drama club get started and has helped us prepare new actors.
I have always loved theater, and after discovering my children are theater kids, I found this site and now we've started our own drama group for homeschoolers. The information here is invaluable in this!
1. I personally love drama. I started learning DIE since 2020. I would love to bring my knowledge into practice. However, I am new as a drama teacher and I got a lovely job to make a show with 16 3rd grade students for my daughter's school. I was honored but overwhelmed. i didn't know where to start until my classmate from DIE program introduced me to DRAMA NOTEBOOK.
2. The site is so well organized. I found more than I expected. I found structured lessons and more detailed info such as stage directions which deepened my understanding of stage show.
3. For now I need to absorb what I have learned and I can't think of anything for improvement.
Thank you so much for all the info and the idea of sharing.
This is fantastic site with loads of great resources and ideas. I particularly like the warm up and improv ideas.
I always sign up whenever I pick up a drama class! Such a life saver when I have to teach out of my specialist area.
Many fun scripts for kids and they are organized in a way that makes it easy to find what I'm looking for.
