Overview
From the bestselling Drama Games series, this dip-in, flick-through, quick-fire resource book – packed with over 200 individual games – is
perfect for teachers, playgroup leaders and drama facilitators who want
to inspire and entertain children, aged 3 and up, with vibrant and engaging drama experiences.
The book includes 40 complete and easy-to-follow lesson plans that
can be implemented with little prior preparation – all appropriate for
exploring the curriculum or running extra-curricular workshops.
The action-packed sessions will transport you and your group to
enchanted forests, pirate ships, bustling farmyards or the bottom of the
sea, via magic-carpet rides or a journey through outer space. They
incorporate vocal exercises, mime and movement, nursery rhymes and fairytales, character development, costumes, songs and music, puppetry, art and text work. Also included is advice on preparing sessions, and a template lesson plan (which can also be downloaded from this page).
The most comprehensive and practical drama resource ever published
for anyone working with young children (including parents!), the book
offers material that will engage any child, from the most reticent to
the supremely confident. It is an ideal way to explore and encourage
skills of creativity, self-expression, tolerance, mutual respect, problem-solving and communication, in a safe, non-threatening environment.
