I love playing drama games and began collecting them in a big folder when I started acting in the seventies. Soon I was trying them out on other people, and I noticed that both children and adults enjoyed them. I kept playing my favourite ones, adapting them, and learning more. As soon as the internet arrived, I posted a selection for others to use and this grew into a now-thriving website. An e-book followed and I soon realised the potential for publishing this paperback.
It's packed full of activities that have been tried and tested for over thirty years. As an actor, I've used the games as warm-ups. As a director, I've used the games in rehearsals to stimulate ideas. As a teacher and drama consultant I use them to help children's learning in history, literacy and across the curriculum. I love the fact that whoever tries them out next will find a new way of using them.
If you want to find out more about these games and activities, here is the website that started it all:
