Creative Dramatics for Children

By Maureen McCurry Cresci. More than 150 theater exercises help kids develop their imaginations, build self-confidence, and improve concentration. The varied exercises involve everything from pantomime to readings to improvisations. In “Basic Business,” for example, students mime actions such as blowing up a balloon or bathing a dog. In “One Sentence Said Different Ways,” participants read lines as if they are feeling different emotions. Cross-curricular extension activities relate to writing, art, social studies, and science.
