Drama Start: Drama activities, plays and monologues for young children (ages 3 to 8) Kindle Edition

Lots of activities to do with children that are easy to implement. Lots of variety for the reader/user. As a homeschooling parent, I like the option for a very small group to complete the activities.

Having been into drama at a semi professional level and not being involved now I was asked to undertake a preschool group for drama classes. Not having a clue where to start, I have checked available material and chose this book. No regret!!! The activities are simple but on point with the lessons and the detailed description really helps with setting up and preparing for the sessions.

This is a wonderful book with great drama games and activities for younger children. This is my go-to book when creating my drama lesson plan. My students love the games and especially liked acting out The Hungry Tree. They ask to go on this "adventure" often! I hope the author includes more stories like this one in her next book. This really encourages their imaginations and gets them moving! Highly recommend!

Great book. It taught me a lot. Even if I'm not a teacher, this was helpful for my own personal setting. The knowledge I gained from this book was priceless.

Love it.

Lots of interesting activities, used this in my theatre class at the local YMCA.

It is just what I need for my young theater students.

Great little book with games to develop our kids' drama skills !! we are a group a mom with 6 children, and they all really enjoy meeting once a week for our drama time !!! they gain confident, it is perfect !

Always tricky teaching very young children Drama. Ideas have to be stepped, simplified, boiled down but still need a little level of stretch and ambition so the students can feel they are having fun ( and quietly- or more likely noisily) progressing. This book is a great example of a handy dip in guide to a range of activities all very well explained and categorised. There are many ideas, some familiar, some less so explained in a brief and concise way for the busy teacher with examples and some great ideas for using text and stories as well as games.In this sense it fulfils its age range on the front. A very useful book to which I find myself coming back to time and time again.

I home educate my 5children and we have been looking at drama as part of our learning. After running out of my own ideas during roleplay I read this book andwill have soany ideas for the next year or more!For us the games that are for larger numbers of people arent suitable but will be great used in larger groups. Some great games are included that I will make use of regularly even just as a family fun energy boost. The plays are great and such good variety as are the action poems and monologues . There really is liads to choose from so wether in a classroom setting, social club setting or simply to use at home this book will not dissapoint and is certain to entertain all ages and abilities! I will be buying the other books available from this author

Loved the ideas In this book. Great help for setting up lesson structure.

Excellent resource for drama group

The book arrived promptly and has lots of good ideas to stimulate children's drama skills. I bought this with the book for the 9 - 12 age group as I am working with 7-9 year olds and I am finding it very useful to dip in to both.
