Drama games are not staged plays but a dynamic form in which children explore their minds and the world around them. They can use their play-acting in sensory games, pantomimes, story games with puppets, in creating masks and costumes, and much more. Drama games allow children to get more in touch with themselves and what they want to be, and are a delightful way to discover the freedom, creativity, and expression of acting- and living. The SmartFunActivity series encourage imagination, social interaction, and self-expression in children. To make the books easy to use, games are marked according to appropriate age levels, length of play time, and group size, using helpful icons. Most games are non-competitive and none require special skills or training. The series is widely used in homes, schools, daycare centers, clubs, and summer camp.

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 "play-ful" ideas everyone can get involved with and enjoy. Through 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.
NO SPECIALIZED TRAINING OR ELABORATE PROPS NEEDED
All players need is a willingness to have fun and experience the joys of interacting with others. A dramatic game is not the same as a staged drama or play. It is a dynamic form of play in which you give dramatic expression to something you imagine. Drama games are relaxing and playful. They encourage creativity both in children's imaginations and expression. These noncompetitive games include: introduction games, sensory game, pantomime games, story games, sound games, games with masks, games with costumes, and many more.
DRAMA GAMES ENCOURAGE AND DEVELOP:
- Creativity
- Improvisation
- Sociability
- Personality
- Self-esteem
- Trust
- Communication
Each drama game contains an age guideline, an estimated 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.
