A Little Drama

"Filled with easy-to-implement ideas for incorporating drama into early childhood classrooms . . . This book is an excellent resource for both beginning and experienced early childhood educators.” —Booklist

“A substantial and comprehensive addition to the field of theatre pedagogy in the early childhood classroom. Easy-to-use and full of multidisciplinary activities, A Little Drama serves as a valuable reminder that young children learn in different ways, and that play and drama can help to diversify teaching and to meet students’ varied learning needs.” —Alexander Santiago-Jirau, director of education, New York Theatre Workshop and instructor, Educational Theatre at New York University–Steinhardt

“A Little Drama is the most comprehensive and thorough book on how to use dramatic activities with young children, that I have ever come across. It is a must-have tool for educators, administrators, parents, or anyone that works with the very young.” —James Miles, executive director, Arts Corps & veteran Teaching Artist

“Lavinia Roberts provides a wealth of well-organized drama activities, especially for busy educators who have not facilitated drama with young children. Teachers may easily choose and integrate any number of brief exercises, including simple yoga poses, that inspire child-centered learning and promote social, emotional, physical, and metacognitive development in their daily plans.” —Jeanne Klein, associate professor emerita, University of Kansas
