What if you could turn your classroom into a freezing icy mountain or a bubbling underwater cave in just two minutes?
Defining setting in dramatic play means establishing the environmentβthe location where the story happens and the climate that surrounds it.
Location and Climate
Every great scene starts with a location, which is the place where your story happens, like a sandy beach, a castle, or outer space.
We also pick the climate, which is what the weather feels like there, such as super hot and sunny, or stormy and freezing cold.

But how can we build these wild places using only what is already in our room?
Transforming Everyday Objects
Through object substitution, everyday classroom items symbolically transform into props and theatrical set pieces.
A table draped with a cloth can instantly become a mountain cave or a high-tech spaceship console.

Chairs arranged in a line can become a passenger bus, a train, or a canoe gliding across water.
