• 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

  classes at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.
