When the circus isn't in town, children can still enjoy it at a birthday party, summer camp, drama class, or elementary school thanks to this colorful collection of circus-based games and activities. Ideal for children ages four through 12, the book draws on popular circus elements such as acrobatics, clowns, animal numbers, and balancing acts. The games are presented in a clear, simple way, range from ten to 45 minutes in length, and vary in complexity. Each section includes a circus program children can use if they want to plan an actual performance. Readily available props are used for some of the games, and costumes are encouraged for all Noncompetitive and playable without special skills training, the activities in 101 Circus Games for Children provide delightful entertainment for participants and spectators alike.
Originally written for drama teachers working with students aged 9
to 18, this collection of short, snappy theater dialogues makes the
perfect short break activity in any classroom, camp, or youth group
situation. Students get much more out of these dialogues than just
acting practice: they increase alertness, cultivate curiosity,
boost literacy, and improve school attendance. The one-to-one
dialogue format facilitates friendships and allows shy students to
demonstrate new skills. Written by a family of drama experts, each
dialogue centers around a theme related to young life: food,
parents, hobbies, movies, even falling in love, to name just a few.
Each dialogue is introduced with brief notes suggesting different
ways of playing them at different ages and tips for adapting the
dialogues to different age groups and situations. "101 Dialogues,
Sketches, and Skits" is part of the "SmartFun Activity" series from
Hunter House, which includes over 25 titles that have sold more
than 200,000 copies to date.
This book is filled with dance games that the whole classroom or family can play and learn from. These noncompetitive games reward children for their involvement, encourage them to use their imagination, and show them how to express how they feel without using words. Black-and-white illustrations add to these simple games that release a childs spontaneity and self-expression.
Language games allow children to stretch their communication abilities, enhancing vocabulary, conversation, and storytelling skills. A suggested age range accompanies each game in this book; some games may be adapted to different age groups. Language games for beginners focus on making children aware of the ways letters look, the presence of letters in their surroundings (on signs, for instance), and the different letter systems in different cultures. More advanced games include creating poems and haiku, making up stories, and joke-telling. 39 black-and-white illustrations are included in this wonderful resource for teachers, therapists, and social workers.
This collection of games combines dance and play in ways that release children's natural spontaneity. Children are encouraged to interact and express how they feel in creative fantasies and without words in meeting and greeting games, cooperation games, story dances, party dances, and more. All games emphasize the importance of no-blame activities and help children develop self-esteem, personality, sociability, relaxation, and physical health.
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 "SmartFun"Activity 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.
Designed to help teachers and group leaders create dynamic and supportive play environments, this book features completely different games than the first one. These improvisational, noncompetitive games encourage involvement and cooperation the participants gain as much as they contribute. By expressing themselves physically and emotionally and by exploring a range of possibilities, players gain self-confidence and a greater awareness of the feelings and experiences of others. 39 black-and-white illustrations are included.
