In our first transatlantic episode, Jen and Francis are joined by Jocelyn Greene, founder of Child’s Play NY and theatre education specialist. Together, we explore how drama games can build classroom connection, boost student confidence, and support meaningful learning, both in and beyond the maths classroom.

From strategies for welcoming new Year 7 form groups to ideas for creative project-based learning, this episode is full of playful, practical takeaways for any teacher looking to reimagine the start of the school year. We talk about permission to play, why “bubble moments” matter, and how role-play might just be your next teaching superpower.

💬 Featuring creative tips, personal reflections, and a whole lot of laughter — this is one to save and share.
