c) Lesson Proper
Creative drama is a type of theater used for educational purposes that helps children
work on social skills and academic subjects using theater games and improvisations
while being led by a trained instructor. It provides a safe environment for students to
explore behavior, ideas, creativity, and school subjects. Ultimately, creative drama is an
out-of-the-box approach to learning that engages imagination, concentration, and
sensory awareness in a theater environment. Creative drama can help children learn
about emotions, problem solving, and relating to other people. Through their
experiences with drama, students develop their imaginations and their confidence.
Dramatic play is so important in all stages of child development. Creative drama
incorporates the following techniques: Pantomime is the expression of non-verbal
communication, showing how much we can say without speaking and how much we
communicate with gestures. Improvisation: Improvisations are scenes that are planned
in advance, but the action and dialogue are performed spontaneously in the moment.
In role-playing, the children act out a life problem and play different roles in the
scenario. With sense memory improvisation, the exercises emphasize the five senses -
sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste - and also work on sound and visual perception. We
experience life through our senses, and seeing and hearing are essential tools for
reading and reading comprehension. Emotions: Children learn to express and
understand their emotions with these exercises. They have a safe place to explore their
own feelings and the feelings of others through role-playing.
Characterization improvisations teach the similarities and differences of people, such as
physicality, culture, age, religion, and ethnicity. Kids can learn about real people and
characters in literature, and they experience how to think, feel, move, and behave like
 the person they are portraying. Dialogue: Children use dialogue to express their
thoughts, ideas, and feelings. They can discuss and organize the dialogue in the scenes
they act out, and then, after the scenes are performed, they express their response to
the scenes. Finally, with story dramatization, the children act out stories they write,
enjoy, or have heard previously. They can also create stories to dramatize in small
groups. Because of the leader's training and the regulated environment, creative drama
differs from dramatic play (playing make-believe). Creative theatre, on the other hand,
builds on the principles of play to create a learning environment that focuses on social
development and academic achievement. With courses like math, social studies,
science, and language arts, children can engage their imagination while also improving
their hearing, speaking, visual motor, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. The
development of language and autonomous reasoning is also aided by creative drama.
d) Activity
Let the students read the Hand-outs and ask them to explain what is creative drama, its
importance, the eight creative drama techniques, and discuss about the pantomime.
e) Generalization
It is important to every students to learn about creative drama because drama is
an important tool for preparing students to live and work in a world that is increasingly
team-oriented rather than hierarchical. Drama also helps students develop tolerance and
empathy. In order to play a role competently, an actor must be able to fully inhabit
another's soul. The creative theatre approach of education aids in the development and
improvement of divergent thinking skills, creativity, and communication, as well as the
maturation of oral and written communication skills. Dramatic exercises can have a good
impact on a student's behavior and personality.
