What Drama
Education
![Page 3: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
One of kids’ favorite
activities at summer day
camp, drama classes
offer loads of benefits to
kids of all ages.
![Page 4: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
From boosting self-confidence
to learning to work
cooperatively and improving
social skills, theatrical
education is a fun-filled way
to learn and grow.

Kids at day camp, after-school
programs and community
theaters make new friends,
develop new skills and have a
great deal of fun!

SUPER SOCIAL BOOST
![Page 7: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
For shy kids in particular, being a
part of a structured social
environment like acting class can be
a huge boost for social skills and an
excellent way to make friends.
![Page 8: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Youngsters who tend to hang back
in a more free-wheeling
atmosphere fare much better
when they’re part of an activity or
project where they have an
assigned role.
![Page 9: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In play production, each actor,
stage hand, writer or prop person
has his own specific role, making
a cohesive and comfortably social
group of kids working toward a
common goal.
![Page 10: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
An activity like summer day camp
acting class might just be the key
to getting your quiet, retiring
youngster to break out of her shell
in a big, happy way.

LOADS OF FUN AND SO MUCH MORE
![Page 12: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Being a part of a play is an awesome experience for
kids, but while they’re having a blast hamming it up
on stage they’re also:
boosting future academic performance
honing public speaking skills
gaining experience with critical thinking
![Page 13: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Once your child gets that
coveted role, they need to:
start studying scenes
learning lines
figuring out more complicated
skills like evaluating their
character’s motivation
![Page 14: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Additionally, many theater schools and children’s
acting workshops present timeless classics like
Peter Pan or Tom Sawyer, giving kids a priceless
introduction to classic children’s literature.
![Page 15: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NOT JUST FOR THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
![Page 16: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
We tend to think of kids who are into acting as outgoing and attention-seeking, but even shy youngsters can benefit from treading the boards.
![Page 17: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Kids who start out wanting to hang back as part of the chorus
or a face in the back of the crowd may find themselves suddenly
bitten by the acting bug and hungering for that break-out role.
![Page 18: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It’s a great opportunity for personal growth.
![Page 19: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Even if they never become comfortable on stage front and center,
many kids love being a part of the creative crowd by learning to
work stage lights, build scenery or manage costumes and props.
![Page 20: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Some camps, after-school programs and drama schools also
allow kids to write dialogue and stage directions, giving valuable
experience in all aspects of theatrical production.
![Page 21: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
LEARNING TO DEAL
WITH ADVERSITY
![Page 22: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Even if your child is a natural-born ham,
he won’t necessarily win the plum role in
the school play.
![Page 23: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Occasional disappointment is inevitable,
and it’s important for kids to learn how to
deal constructively with the inevitable
bumps in the road.
![Page 24: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Encourage your youngster to ask for
constructive and specific pointers from
teachers and directors on how to
perform better.
![Page 25: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Learning to accept constructive
criticism can help in all areas of a kid’s
life, from school to social situations
and athletic teams.
![Page 26: What Drama Education Can Teach Your Kids](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/568128cf550346895d8b6c75/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Youngsters who can work on their
weaknesses in any area can dramatically
increase their potential for success in so
many endeavors.
