Polka Dot Plays is a six level course that features a selection of ready-made playscripts and activities carefully created for young learners of English.

Each level contains two fun plays for students to perform for each other or in front of a real audience. The plays are simple to stage, require few props and make it easy for teachers to introduce drama to the primary classroom.

The Student’s Book includes comprehension tasks, which focus on the characters, setting and plot, and language tasks to consolidate key vocabulary. Classroom activities encourage students to engage with the topic of each play and to reflect on their learning and performance. Project work offers an opportunity for students to use their imagination with lots of ideas and creative tasks. The plays reference cross-curricular themes to reinforce learning in other subject areas.

The Polka Dot Plays Teacher’s Guides, with tips and suggestions on how best to use Polka Dot Plays are available to download on Helbling e-zone and audio recordings of the plays are available both on Helbling e-zone and the Helbling Media App.

Level 6 contains the following plays:

• Tammy, the Queen of Jams
• The Space Restaurant
