Everybody enjoys the chance to escape from reality from time to time, to
climb inside the skin of another character. This book encourages
children and adults to explore their dramatic sides and has playful
ideas everyone can get involved with and enjoy. Throughout drama games,
children get more in touch with themselves, what they want to be, and
what they can do. The games are improvisational, framed to encourage
total involvement and cooperation - the participants gain as much as
they contribute. Each drama game contains an age guideline, an estimate
time of play, and suggestions for the most appropriate type of music.
The games can be played by children and adults of all ages, and are
flexible enough to be used by parents, teachers, camp leaders, daycare
providers, or other group leaders in a variety of settings.
