In London, circa 1900, George and Mary Darling's preparations to attend a party are disrupted by the antics of their boys, John and Michael, acting out a story about Peter Pan and the pirates, told to them by their older sister, Wendy. Elementary drama students perform 'A Christmas Peter Pan' The script takes its cue from JM Barrie's beloved classic story 'Peter Pan'. The boy who refuses to grow up leads Tinkerbell, Wendy, Snow.
This scheme of work contains 6 drama lesson plans.
- Lesson 1: The Boy Who Could Fly. The students are introduced to and create the central characters, Wendy and Peter, and develop them and their relationship with each other and with the other Darling children using improvisation.
- Lesson 2: The Lost Boys. After a fun warm up session, this lesson concentrates on the Lost Boys, revealing their history and how they came to be in Neverland through the use of hot seating.
- Lesson 3: Life on Captain Hook’s Ship. Through the use of games and frozen picture exercises, the students discover what it is like to be a pirate on board Captain Hooks ship!
- Lesson 4: The Crocodile and The Clock. This lesson uses a crocodile-who-has-swallowed-a-clock sound effect to create and build tension in a scene. This is then used in the students performances to show Hook’s terror of the crocodile.
- Lesson 5: The Climax – Peter v Hook. Basic unarmed combat moves are taught to the students. These are then used in a scene set to music, turning the battle between Hook and Peter Pan into a comic movement piece.
- Lesson 6: The Assessment – Storytelling. For their assessment students devise a summarised version of the story, using the character of an aged Wendy telling her grandchildren the story through narration, flashbacks, split scene, thought aloud, and a dramatic pause.

Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Would Never Grow Up (also known by its alternative title Peter and Wendy) is the stage play version of the classic book Peter Pan, written by J. M. Barrie in the early 1900s. Barrie’s well-known tale has been cherished for over a century, spawning countless recreations in the shape of a Broadway musical, both live action and animated movies, and various other media spinoffs from the original story. Peter Pan follows the straightforward narrative of the book it accompanies. In London live the Darlings, Mr. and Mrs., and their three children, Wendy, John, and Michael. Their efforts to maintain status in society occasionally strain the family, but Mrs. Darling is adamant that her children have room to grow into themselves with imagination and independence, so their lives go rather unremarkably well. All of this changes with the arrival of Peter Pan, a young boy who escaped to a magical world called Neverland in his childhood and who has never grown with the passage of time. Peter begins to visit the Darlings’ window to eavesdrop on the bedtime stories Mrs. Darling tells her children. Mrs. Darling, who caught Peter one night, has stolen his shadow and hidden it in a drawer. In search for it, Peter enters the nursery of the Darling house with his fairy Tinkerbell one evening when the parents are out and befriends Wendy, John, and Michael. He teaches the three to fly and they happily accompany him to Neverland to stay for awhile with Peter and the Lost Boys, sons who were lost by their mothers in childhood and took up residence in Neverland instead. As soon as Wendy, John, and Michael arrive, a myriad of adventures meets them and their newly formed ‘family’ with Wendy as the mother and Peter as the father of the whole brood. Peter and his Lost Boys see fantasy everywhere they go in Neverland, playing house, swimming with mermaids, teaming up with tribes of natives, and most prominently, constantly clashing with Peter’s archnemesis, the cruel pirate Captain Hook and his gruesome shipmates. But, as Wendy and her brothers learn as their visit lengthens, not all children are meant to stay young, living in dreams and playing pretend. With this version of Peter Pan, we experience Peter, Wendy, and their companions the way they were first introduced to mainstream audiences in 1904. Returning to the source material offers an opportunity to explore in new ways the ever-relevant themes of innocence and what it means to let it go, the necessity of childhood, and the way a child’s world can be eternally shaped by the pressures exerted from outside society. When J. M. Barrie first wrote this tale, it was in defense of children being asked to grow up too soon, by a world who demanded too much of them. It is poignant how much those same ideals can reach audiences today.
