Third Grade

This quarter in drama we used various improvisation games and exercises to explore the importance of listening and maintaining focus. Students began to develop basic pantomime skills by manipulating imaginary objects and reacting to imaginary circumstances though exercises such as the “Magic Box” and “Zones”. We also started to explore the relationship between action and reaction as well as the pursuit of goals onstage. Some class favorites included “Honey I love you, but I just can’t smile” and “Make me laugh”. These exercises are chosen and designed to create a fun, safe, and educational environment that encourages students to take risks and explore the limits of their imagination.
