Let's Improvise: Becoming Creative, Expressive and Spontaneous Through Drama (Applause Books) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this book years ago when I first started teaching CreativeDramatics.I found it extremely helpful then. I couldn't find my old copy and purchased it again when I decided to take on a group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. This book was like an old friend. It got me started and inspired me to come up with new ideas.I have worked with all ages. This book has good material for little ones, and I've used some of the ideas with middle school ages. I recommend it for someone getting started in Creative Dramatics, but it's also useful for the more experienced.
