Learning Pit Drama Circle | A Growth Mindset Activity | Perserverance

This low-prep drama circle helps encourage a Growth Mindset by teaching your students about The Learning Pit in this easy-to-use drama activity. This is a great task for back to school, having fun and trying out acting skills in a low-risk performance environment.

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 aligns with:

• Alberta Program of Studies Health for Grade 4, Grade 5 and Grade 6

This activity supports:

• any lesson about growth mindset and learning to overcome learning challenges.
