One common desire among educators around the world is the desire for students to have fun while learning. This is why teachers are always interested in creative ways to make the learning environment more learner friendly. Short plays for the classroom allow educators to do just that. With these literary works, teachers can change lives positively by making the learning process an engaging and exciting one.

The plays serve as a means of keeping the students active during the class session. For most teachers the ideal method is to organize the class into groups and have them work on their own presentations of the drama. This keeps students engaged but also gets them excited because they will get to show their talent. For most five minute presentations, students will need fifteen to twenty minutes of planning time. During execution the students are still actively engaged as they switch between the roles of performers and audience.

The presentation can be turned into something bigger such as a whole school play. In fact, many large school plays had their genesis in classroom productions. Dramatic displays that are done at this level are quite achievement for younger students and older ones alike. Remarkable growth in self esteem is reported by teachers of students who engage in these activities.

Working together on a play helps to groom students for their adult lives. In order to prepare adequately they must work with others in discussing and planning their performances. This type of cooperation is also required when they are onstage. This helps to build their interpersonal skills and these are skills that are crucial to social and professional relationships.

A teacher may use a play as a springboard for the teaching of one or more lessons. The principles explored through the storyline serve as re-enforcers of behavioral goals. These principles include, loyalty, trust, determination and justice. These principles are brought to the fore when discussions on characters and their traits are facilitated. The teacher, in discouraging the emulation of negative characters can highlight the consequences that characters with negative traits face. For characters that demonstrate positive traits the rewards or resulting triumph can be highlighted.

Drama scripts are also useful for fulfilling the requirements of the academic curriculum. Literary and language skills are also developed through drama. Students who are good at practical skills such as decorating and lighting get to develop showcase their skills as well. Those students who are interested in making things can be tasked with the set building project.

Identifying the drama script that best fits the lesson is not difficult. Creative teachers can craft their own drama pieces. Educators are known for their creativity and teachers who write drama pieces live up to this expectation. Sometimes the piece is created as a joint effort between the teacher and the students and there are students who are talented enough to create these scripts on their own. They can also find them online through one or more of the many teacher resource websites available.

Short drama pieces are helpful teaching tools. They help teachers to achieve multiple objectives simultaneously. Through their strategic use, teachers are able to shape the world's future by fulfilling the requirements of the hidden and overt curriculum.
