Settle into the Dragons’ Domain… To make sure that you have a level playing field, you may first need to watch a couple of episodes with children, some of whom may not be familiar with the programme. On second watching, they will be ready to help you list some of the key elements they will later need to practise themselves: • What are the Dragons l...
Prepare children to address an audience… The children need to get into the habit of speaking (and listening) confidently. Just as with any sport, it isn’t wise to go into the Dragons’ Den arena without warming up. Use these limbering up activities to get children used to speaking in public with little preparation or prior warning. • Just a Minute i...

There are five key aspects to the classic pitch, some of which are interrelated. Audience At this point, the audience for the pitch is primarily the Dragons: what are th...
Help pupils to organise their thoughts… After watching one or two examples, children should be ready to help you identify what to do and what not to do in structuring the pitch, and be able to produce a simple bullet point structure based on what they’ve seen, e.g. • Introduce yourself • Introduce the product • What’s it for? • How does it work? • ...

- Preparing a Dragons’ Den pitch tip #1: Research the Dragons. Unlike with a bank or grant, when you go onto Dragons’ Den, you’re asking people to invest their time, money, and business acumen in your idea.
- Dragons’ Den pitch tip #2: Know your product inside out. The Dragons will ask probing questions about every aspect of your product or service, so ensure you know every detail inside out: failing to answer questions accurately could decrease their interest significantly, so preparation is essential here.
- Dragons’ Den pitch tip #3: Understand your market. It is crucial to thoroughly understand your target market, including who your customers are and how much they are willing to pay for your product or service.
- Dragons’ Den pitch tip #4: Bring something tangible. Visuals such as prototypes or mockups bring pitches alive while also giving dragons something tangible they can interact with.
