  • What Drama Education
  • CAN TEACH YOUR KIDS

3
  • One of kids favorite activities at summer day
    camp, drama classes offer loads of benefits to
    kids of all ages.

4
  • From boosting self-confidence to learning to work
    cooperatively and improving social skills,
    theatrical education is a fun-filled way to learn
    and grow.

5
  • Kids at day camp, after-school programs and
    community theaters make new friends, develop new
    skills and have a great deal of fun!

6
  • SUPER SOCIAL BOOST

7
  • 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.

8
  • Youngsters who tend to hang back in a more
    free-wheeling atmosphere fare much better when
    theyre part of an activity or project where they
    have an assigned role.

9
  • 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.

10
  • 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.

11
  • LOADS OF FUN AND SO MUCH MORE

12
  • Being a part of a play is an awesome experience
    for kids, but while theyre having a blast
    hamming it up on stage theyre also

boosting future academic performance
honing public speaking skills
gaining experience with critical thinking
13
  • Once your child gets that coveted role, they need
    to

start studying scenes
learning lines
figuring out more complicated skills like
evaluating their characters motivation
14
  • Additionally, many theater schools and childrens
    acting workshops present timeless classics like
    Peter Pan or Tom Sawyer, giving kids a priceless
    introduction to classic childrens literature.

15
  • NOT JUST FOR THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

16
  • 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.

17
  • 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.

18
  • Its a great opportunity for personal growth.

19
  • 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.

20
  • 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.

21
  • LEARNING TO DEAL
  • WITH ADVERSITY

22
  • Even if your child is a natural-born ham, he
    wont necessarily win the plum role in the school
    play.

23
  • Occasional disappointment is inevitable, and its
    important for kids to learn how to deal
    constructively with the inevitable bumps in the
    road.

24
  • Encourage your youngster to ask for constructive
    and specific pointers from teachers and directors
    on how to perform better.

25
  • Learning to accept constructive criticism can
    help in all areas of a kids life, from school to
    social situations and athletic teams.

26
  • Youngsters who can work on their weaknesses in
    any area can dramatically increase their
    potential for success in so many endeavors.

27
  • Let your kids enjoy the experience of drama
    classes at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

28
  • Experienced staff will keep your child both safe
    and busy with arts and crafts, games, water
    sports, gymnastics and more.
