As a children's theater educator for over 20 years, I've learned that creative drama games are a fun, fast and effective way to teach important social and emotional skills. These games are easy to implement in your busy classroom (most take no more than 5-10 minutes) and are perfect for morning circle time, brain breaks or optimistic closure.

The games are easy to learn and play - no theater experience required! And they pack a powerful punch in helping students learn empathy, teamwork, emotional literacy, creative thinking and more.
