Review: Excellent Resource - I’m using this book as a tool to help me teach a theater class at my homeschool co-op. I’ve taught many theater summer camps through the years, but this book has been such a great resource in helping me have a focus and guide for what to teach, how to teach it, and why it is important! I’m about 6-8 lessons into the book at this point (using 1 lesson every week to 2 weeks since we only meet on Fridays). The activities have all been successful so far, and my students are having such a fun time in class. I have about 8-10 students, and all of the activities have worked for that number of kids, but I could easily see this working in a larger group as well. This book has been an excellent resource, and I will continue to use it each year!
Review: So Thankful for This Book! - I am a first year elementary theatre teacher, and although I've been a part of theatre world most of my life I have been having difficulty taking my knowledge and synthesizing it into something for a K-5 classroom. This book is a lifesaver! At first I was disappointed by what showed up -- what looked like a very short workbook. But in hindsight, I'm not sure how long I expected a book of 16 lesson plans to be (it's 43 pages). I also bought a couple of longer books of games, and other info for first year teachers, but this is the one I keep returning to over the past week or so. If needed, I could pick it up and get through the first 3 weeks of school with ease. The 60-minute lessons are largely game based (ex: mirror exercise, pantomime detective, blind cars, etc.) which is great for young kids. There are also reflections and little asides throughout the lessons that explain how each game relates back to theatre and how to incorporate them into your classroom. I'm finding it easy to replicate these lessons for additional follow-up classes by interchanging the games with other ones I know (or ones found in my other book or online). If you are just starting out teaching Theatre/Drama classes (especially K-8), I highly recommend this short book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I needed.
*by C***E on September 7, 2023*

This may be too basic for a seasoned drama teacher, but I’m fairly new, last year had no structure whatsoever, and this year with the help of this book, I finally feel like I’m getting it right. I teach a weekly 45 minute homeschool intro to drama class, and the lessons fill the 45 minutes exactly. I am able to read the 2-3 pages before class so I know what’s coming, then walk in and tell them what we’re learning today, play the games that are laid out for that lesson, then wrap it up with a little bit of “reflection” work for their drama journal. Thank you so much. I hope you make a part 2!!
