Drama plays are an important part of teaching in primary education. Through dramatic activities, students develop speech skills, emotions and create positive attitudes. For the purposes of this thesis, a qualitative survey was conducted with eight teachers. The aim was to examine the selection of texts for drama games in primary education. According to the results, the main criteria for selecting texts are age of students and student interests. Regarding dramatization, it has been found that teachers beside using finished play, often dramatize various templates in class. Furthermore, the results of the research showed that there are no rules in the selection of themes and characters for drama games. It all depends on the situation and the class of teacher. In dramatic texts we come across various themes related to the children's world, and accordingly the characters. Realistic and unreal characters such as fairies, witches, etc. appear in the playbooks. It is only important to adapt the text to the students in the class.
