Putting on a Play: Drama Activities for Kids (Acitvities for Kids)
Grade 3-4-This little book is a powerhouse of information. In a quick and concise format, the authors discuss how to write a script, design a set, make costumes, act the parts, and have lots of fun in the process. In short paragraphs they get readers to think about how a character walks and moves, dresses, and speaks. They talk about improvisation, props made from household objects, and scenery painted on old shower curtains or newsprint rolls. The authors offer lots of ideas for story lines and types of plays and give outlines for a few, but mostly this is a book of inspiration. An excellent beginning resource for any child or group of children interested in theater.-Deanna Romriell, Salt Lake City Library, UTCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
