For young children and adults alike, it can be intimidating to speak a foreign language in front of other people. Even five-year-olds can be scared of making mistakes and looking silly, or it may just be that they are shy and don't want to talk in class. One way of reaching these children is through drama. Here are a few suggestions on using a range of drama-related activities and creating supporting tools like masks and theatres that will help you play with the language with your pupils and have lots of fun at the same time.
