- Add A Little Drama to Your Day !
by Mrs. Kathy Reynolds
It is lots of fun for our "students" to dress up and
dramatize, and a great way to reinforce what you are studying.
A favorite in our house is to act out the Bible story that
we have just read aloud. My boys, aged 4, 7, 9, and I, take
parts portraying the characters that we learned about. We keep
it simple by paraphrasing key quotes, and use just basic dress
up items like hats, capes, and swords, but you could be as
elaborate as you'd like.
Children learn to express themselves, and demonstrate in a
natural way what knowledge they have gained. This helps to
increase the mind's ability to remember.
I have known some young people who have written some
wonderful plays, and staged their productions for others at
special occasions like Feast Days that we've attended.
Be creative, and turn your unit studies, history, or Bible
lessons into a memorable and fun activity for the whole
family.
