Excellent book for the middle school drama classroom!
This book contains many challenging exercises which are right on track for the middle-level student of drama. The students enjoy the cooperative nature of most activities contained in the book. Teachers will find it easy to use and assess students' work thanks to the clear, concise directions and the included worksheets students use to plan the activities.

The index in the back also is extremely helpful in locating just the right type of exercise; entries are listed in categories such as "no preparation," "noisy rehearsal," "beginner level," and many other cross-references.

When I started teaching drama five years ago, this book was my lifesaver in planning classroom activities!

a simple guide for great activities
This book is great for drama teachers of varied experience across the board. It contains clear and concise activities which naturally progress thematically and in terms of group development and is also a flexible resource for a variety of topics and teaching scenarios. Variations are provided for a majority of the activities and they are easily adaptable to different groups and agendas. Advice on methods of using the book effectively is also provided. Most of my students have really engaged with the activities in the book as have I. A lot of the work is planned out and so essentially you can be as lazy or creative as you like!
