Questions for Discussion
How do drama activities (those in the video and those you may have observed) provide opportunities for the development of both listening and speaking skills? How do they also integrate elements of movement?
While students in the video are a bit older than preprimary, how can the same principles be utilized in a preprimary classroom?
How can ideas for improvisation and pantomime be utilized in the classroom? Create your own “Action Improv: Let’s Act!” scenario appropriate for preprimary to share with the class. For example:
“You and a group of friends are taking a hike in the woods. It is a lovely day and you brought a picnic along. You find the perfect spot for lunch. After lunch, you realize that it is beginning to get cloudy and looks like rain. You quickly gather your picnic supplies and look for the path that will lead you out of the woods. OH NO! You cannot find the path. What happens?”
