The language, the ideas, the approach.all of it was not very relevant. I bought this book as a resource for the drama program I teach at a private elementary school. I'm not sure if something was lost in translation - but it seemed very dated.
101 Drama Games For Children gives us variety. It keeps the children interested, helps them learn and they have so much fun. I have been an acting teacher for nine years and an co-author of my own acting book "Finally.Monologues That Work" and the one thing children love the most in class is the games. It is a great source for teachers who teach acting or in the classroom. Who could ask for more. Games and more games. They can't get enough.
Great buy. This book focuses a lot on the younger crowd, but can be enjoyed by students of any age. I'm an elementary drama teacher.
I teach a summer drama class for grades 1-6, and it has a lot of really great games for all of the age groups, I do however wish there were a few more for the younger groups, but many can be adapted.
It's about the fun of imagination. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for ideas to use creative play groups more than for teaching specific dramatic techniques. While not directly about "Drama", this book offers great games to get children thinking fast and exercising their creative muscles. I am having a lot of fun using it in an introductory drama class for 1st to 3rd grade chilren.
