This paper examines the drama box—a portable collection of props, costumes, images, and stimuli—as an effective tool for fostering creativity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence in primary school settings. Drawing on constructivist learning theory and process drama methodologies, the study analyzes how unstructured dramatic play with a curated drama box enhances narrative skills, problem-solving, and peer interaction. A small-scale qualitative case study of two Year 4 classrooms (N=48) over six weeks reveals significant gains in student engagement and spontaneous role-play complexity. The paper concludes with practical guidelines for educators and suggestions for future research.
