Curriculum: Beauty & the Beast

Description

 

Beauty & the Beast is a powerful, emotionally rich speech, drama, and character development curriculum designed to transform the way children express, communicate, and understand themselves and others through storytelling and performance.

This is not just a retelling of a classic tale—it is a deeply immersive learning experience where children explore emotions, relationships, and values while building confidence, creativity, and stage presence.

This curriculum consists of 12 carefully designed lessons, each building progressively from emotional awareness and guided exploration to confident storytelling, performance, and self-expression.

Designed for toddlers to 8 years old, this program adapts beautifully across age groups—offering foundational emotional and expressive play for younger learners, and deeper character work, communication skills, and performance training for older children.

Books, Stories & Resource Inspirations

This curriculum is enriched with a wide range of storytelling resources, drawing inspiration from multiple versions of Beauty & the Beast across storybooks and theatrical interpretations, alongside adapted classics such as Romeo & Juliet, The Secret Garden, The Surprise Party, The ‘B’ Book, What Game Shall We Play Today?, and Gruffalo’s Child. Music also plays an important role in expression and engagement, including pieces such as Happy by Pharrell Williams, as well as visual and performance inspiration from Disney’s Beauty & the Beast. Through these, children are guided to explore, compare, and creatively adapt stories, building flexibility in thinking and depth in expression.
