Synopsis

Theatre games help to develop students' skills in storytelling, improvisation, and public speaking. They also build confidence, teamwork, and vocabulary. Here is a collection of theatre games that have been classroom tested. Try the collaborative and fun activity "The Monster with Three Heads." Three students form one monster where each participant can say just one word at a time in response to students' questions. In addition, they must answer in complete sentences. Imagine the lessons to be learned amidst the laughter!
