Author Description

COME SEE OUR PLAY!! WOLF! WOLF! Plays for Kids from Greek Stories contains nine scripts in which young actors take turns narrating and acting. For elementary classroom, living room or stage, historic: "Aesop's Fables" (some run 3 minutes), "Androcles and the Lion", and "The Origin of Easter Eggs" explore virtues and vices with high action and humor. If they are to enjoy safety, a fine life, and be taken seriously by others, children must learn to express themselves. When we act, body, voice and imagination work together; we concentrate and become effective in what we say. Theatre is a natural environment for children to develop expressive skills, overriding cyber addiction by acting out a live story and announcing "Come see our play!" Besides being terrific fun, drama brings out the best in even shy kids. Other Dramareader Playbooks: Plays from Native American Stories; Plays from Around the World.
