CREATIVE KIDS I (Grades PreK-5)

CREATIVE KIDS I teacher

.


CREATIVE KIDS I is a dynamic and innovative literature-based drama program. A professional actor/teacher leads the class in exploring and dramatizing specially selected children’s stories. The students then create and act out their own original stories based on these books. The stories come from all over the world and are carefully chosen to be appropriate for the ages in the class. CREATIVE KIDS introduces students to acting, increases their love of books, and is loads of fun – a perfect mix for a great after-school program!

CREATIVE KIDS II class
dramatizing a story
.

In our Creative Kids II program the students get all the great basic acting training and exposure to literature that Creative Kids I offers (see above). Halfway through the course, they focus on creating their own original story based on one of the books used during the session. They then rehearse their “play” and share it with family and friends in an informal presentation on the last day of class. This class has limited availability.

I knew my youngest daughter would like this program and I was right, but I was surprised how much my older son loved it. He tried it for one week and begged me to sign him up. They both loved your choice of books, the parts they played, and their teacher. We will see you in the fall.

My child loves Creative Kids so much he refused to go to his dentist appointment which we accidentally scheduled on the day of class. By the way, he loved playing the peddler in “Caps
For Sale.” We have acted it out at home at least 100 times.
