101 More Drama Games for Children
by Paul Rooyackers and Margreet Hofland
Published 12 November 2002
Designed to help teachers and group leaders create dynamic and supportive play environments, this book features completely different games than the first one. These improvisational, noncompetitive games encourage involvement and cooperation -- the participants gain as much as they contribute. By expressing themselves physically and emotionally and by exploring a range of possibilities, players gain self-confidence and a greater awareness of the feelings and experiences of others. 39 black-and-white illustrations are included.
Part One of this book explains the value of language games, how to choose a game for a particular setting, how to plan the game and how to motivate players.
Part Two describes the 101 language games including creating poems and haiku, making up stories and telling jokes.
Ages 4 & up

The games here combine dance and play in ways that release a child's spontaneity and self-expression. No dance training or athletic skills are needed - just a willingness to have fun and experience the joys of moving and interacting with others.
101 MORE DANCE GAMES FOR CHILDREN includes games that encourage total involvement and cooperation from participants. This book is the sequel to 101 Dance Games for Children and, when used together, both books offer instructors a wealth of possibilities for planning play sessions.

These games are flexible enough to be used by parents, teachers, daycare providers or other group leaders in a variety of settings.

When the circus isn't in town, children can still enjoy it at a birthday party, summer camp, drama class, or elementary school thanks to this colorful collection of circus-based games and activities. Ideal for children ages four through 12, the book draws on popular circus elements such as acrobatics, clowns, animal numbers, and balancing acts. The games are presented in a clear, simple way, range from ten to 45 minutes in length, and vary in complexity. Each section includes a "circus program" children can use if they want to plan an actual performance. Readily available props are used for some of the games, and costumes are encouraged for all! Noncompetitive and playable without special skills training, the activities in 101 Circus Games for Children provide delightful entertainment for participants and spectators alike.
