Fantastic!
I got this book to help with a drama camp that I was teaching. It helped me organize and plan in a way that kept the kids focused. They had a great time and so did I. I highly recommend this book.

The best!
This book is amazing. It gives great instructions for many fun games. The instructions are brief,but fun,and give enough information to make the games easy to implement. I have used the book twice for a group of kids, ranging in age from 9-14, and they have loved the activities! I've purchased a couple other similar books that were not nearly as fun and well-put-together as this one.

Great Resource
I bought this book to use to teach a drama class in my homeschool co-op, and I'm so pleased with the fun games and ideas for teaching basic drama concepts. The kids are loving all the games and I think that the games and exercises really spark their creativity.

Best Theater Book I've Purchased!
I never take the time to write reviews for books but I had to for this one! EVERY activity is great--you don't have to search through picking and choosing. I know this will be an invaluable source for me in teaching drama to both elementary and high school students. Thanks to the author for such a great resource!

great, great, great
I purchased this book before I started teaching creative dramatics in Recreation deprtments teaching K-8. It was wonderful. I loved it. I would reccommend it to every teacher (theatre or not) it has wonderful classroom activities.

Great Mix of Activities
I love how all of the different skills are addressed in separate sections of the book. There are many, many games and tasks included in each so the variety never ends. I use this book as a warm up during the first couple of drama sessions and then as a filler when I think that the kids have had enough "serious" rehearsal time and need to let loose. Pair up this book with a play or set of plays and you are set to go with any group.

great book
This book is a great book for beginners who have never done anything like drama, It has a lot of great Ideas. On remembering lines and games to help kids work and work together. It would be a good book for kids to read also it they are wanting to do drama or theatre or even the movies.
I like this book and plan on using it this next week in my class.

Great for all ages
I used this book to teach a summer drama class for a local daycare to grades 1st-5th. The kids couldn't get enough! I used this book the whole summer, and it taught them how to work togather, even with their age differences.

very helpful and fun!!
I was actually looking for kids monologue and scene books, but this book caught my attention, because of the good reviews, and I ordered it as well. It is fantastic!! Some old favourite theatre games I'd forgoten and lots of new fun ones!! Also curriculum ideas for classes beyond theatre games. I can't wait to teach my class today using these new tools! I'll be using this book for along time.

Well written - highly interactive for all ages
Great Book...well written, easy to follow exercises! Lisa Bany-Winters has written a highly comprehensive and interactive book packed full of theater exercises with great tips for additions to each exercise. This book is terrific for elementary school teachers, camp activity leaders, children's parties and of course, children's drama instructors. I highly recommend this book to anyone who knows a wanna-be star!
