This integrative review aimed to: a) characterize the scientific production, in the period from 2007 to 2021, on school health education, based on theater as a facilitating tool; b) to discuss the implications of the main results evidenced in the scientific production in the light of the assumptions of the Ottawa Charter. The search for articles in the selected LILACS, MEDLINE, and BDENF databases was carried out between April and May 2021 with descriptors: "Student Health"; "Drama" and "School Health Services". The sample consisted of six articles and the analysis was based on Bardin. The results demonstrate that theater is a powerful instrument in popular health education, enhancing the bond with the community and adapting to the children's language/cultural components. The need to train multiplier agents to develop educational practices that use theater as a dialogic tool for health was evidenced.
