This book aims to give theatre teachers the tools to do more than simply play classroom games by explaining the practical benefits of each exercise. This handy text also helps teachers hold group discussions and guides them in asking leading questions. For each of the 112 games, divided into 20 categories — sensory awareness, characterization, action and reaction, nonverbal communication, and much more — you’ll find not only the description of the game but also discussion guidelines, suggestions of variables, and a clear description of the purpose for the game. Plus, in this new edition, you get 25 bonus games!
