Our Last Young Actors Class

Today, we had our last of three drama classes with Jared from the Young Actors Project.  

The first exercise we did was a pattern exercise.  We took turns clapping around the circle and then we clapped to different patterns.

Then we made our bodies into different shapes and objects.  This is a balloon.

Then we got together with a partner and made our two bodies into one letter of the alphabet.  This is "A".

then we worked together to develop a story

then we sat knee to knee with a partner and told our own stories.  "Once upon a time there was a king..."  "Once upon a time there was a beaver...."  "Once upon a time there was a hamburger...."

Then we turned into popcorn kernels.

The popcorn kernels slowly heated up and then started popping.

Then we were put into two groups, one group was people and the other group was puppies.

The puppies had to do something interesting and then the people chose which puppy they would like the best.

Then we switched groups.

Finally, we worked in two different groups to act things out for the other groups to guess.  These girls are at the candy store.

These boys are at the grocery store.

These girls are magicians.

Rock stars.

Penguins.

We had such a great time!
