Creative Drama Programs & Teacher Training
A look at the moments that define our work, from teacher training workshops to creative drama sessions that bring classrooms to life.
This is what we do at Tiny Tribes. We use music, movement, and imaginative drama to help children fall in love with learning. This video gives you a glimpse into our process based learning approach and introduces the passionate educators who make the magic happen every day.
This is one of my favorite moments from a training session with 150 pre-primary teachers. We filled the room with paper airplanes, laughter, and pure, childlike joy. My Playful Practitioner training isn't about lectures; it's about hands on activities that show educators how to bring this same energy and engagement into their own classrooms.
In this video, I personally explain what Pyjama Drama is all about. It’s not about performance or memorizing lines. It's a safe, high energy space where children aged three to six use pretend play to build confidence, creativity, and real life skills like communication and problem solving.
This collage captures the essence of a Pyjama Drama class. You can see children exploring with colorful props like parachutes and ribbons, engaging in imaginative play, and building strong connections with their teachers. Each activity is designed to develop life skills in a fun, pressure free environment.
I am thrilled to announce our partnership with the Laulau song drawing method from Finland. This is a beautiful, multi sensory art play where children create pictures through drawing songs. It’s a perfect addition to our offerings, supporting early writing skills and social emotional learning for schools and preschools in India.
It was a surreal moment seeing my work recognized on the NASDAQ billboard in Times Square, New York. This was part of a global program for women leaders, and it reinforces my belief that taking a leap of faith in your passion can create worldwide impact. I bring this same drive and vision to every school I partner with.
What makes a great Tiny Tribes teacher? I asked my team, and their answers say it all: energy, patience, consistency, and a love for drama and dance. This short video introduces you to the incredible educators who are the heart and soul of our tribe.
About Featured
We do not believe in scripted performances or memorized lines. Our approach is purely process-based. Whether we are in a preschool classroom or training 150 teachers, the goal is always to create a space where confidence and imagination take the lead over the final product.
Why Process-Based Drama Works
At Tiny Tribes, we have moved past the traditional idea of school plays. Our work revolves around Pyjama Drama, an internationally recognized approach that prioritizes imagination and expression. When children are given the space to lead the narrative, whether they are pretending to be dragon-slayers or forest explorers, they build essential life skills like communication, empathy, and problem-solving without the pressure of performing for an audience.
Partnering with Schools & Educators
We collaborate with preschools across India to integrate these methods into the daily curriculum. Our programs are fully aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF 2022, ensuring that play is not just an extra activity, but the foundation of early learning. We provide:
- Teacher Training: Hands-on workshops where educators learn to facilitate drama games, manage energy levels, and create inclusive classroom environments.
- Structured Curriculum: Comprehensive, year-long lesson plans that take the guesswork out of play-based teaching.
- Specialized Methods: We are the first to bring the Laulau song drawing method from Finland to India, combining music, art, and movement to support pre-writing skills.
Whether you are a school owner looking to revamp your early years program or an educator wanting to bring more masti, or fun, into your classroom, we focus on making the transition seamless, research-backed, and genuinely joyful.
Tiny Tribes
I’m Shraddha, and Tiny Tribes started with a simple wish: to find a space for moms and kids to just be. Fifteen years later, we have built a community of educators who believe that play is the highest form of research. We aren't just running classes; we are trying to keep the spark of childhood alive for as long as we can.
