Drama Club By George

|
Here's some things you might think about:Parent permission slips with emergency contact information, and specifying whether or not the child will be picked up or walk home after meetings. Behavior agreement that both | the child and parent sign (two strikes and you're out) A regular meeting routine, beginning in a circle with a simple warm-up activity and progressing to creative drama exercise(s) (There is a little book entitled "100+ Ideas for Drama" that might be useful). Plan a variety show or a performance of one-act scenes taken from children's literature. For example, there is an interesting | | scene in the book "War with Grandpa" where Jennifer tells Peter that Grandpa will be staying in HIS room. This is a fun dialogue-rich scene for two students to perform.Starting with a variety show of some sort greatly simplifies the planning and coordination required to have a successful event. Students can work in small groups to prepare their scenes. The other members of the club become the audience for rehearsals. A truck or box filled with interesting props and costume elements is really fun to have for creative drama activities.
