Looking for fresh, engaging ways to bring English to life for older primary and early secondary learners?
The Trinity Stars — Young Performers Awards provide free, creative tools that help teachers support language development through performance, teamwork and storytelling. Whether you run English lessons, drama clubs or summer camps, these materials offer purposeful group activities that build communication, confidence and collaboration in a fun and inclusive way.

- Spoken English tasks that promote fluency and interaction in real contexts
- Opportunities for role-play, improvisation and shared storytelling
- Group work that fosters cooperation, decision-making and shared ownership
- Creative expression through character, voice, movement and simple staging
- A low-pressure setting where every child contributes meaningfully
These age-appropriate activities are flexible enough to connect with classroom themes, seasonal projects or learners' own interests – helping to bring curriculum content to life through performance.
