Teaching rules at schools is among the objectives of both the curricula and the hidden curriculum. Schools have a structure that both reflects the society and contributes to the shaping of the society. In this sense, teaching rules at schools is directly associated with the society’s displaying a behavior that complies with rules. In addition, there also exists a direct relationship between the behavior of obeying rules and teaching rules in the society. In teaching rules, there is a need for methods and techniques that will contribute to students’ adopting, questioning, and understanding the necessity of rules. One of these methods is creative drama.
