If You Give a Mouse...

Julia has been participating in a kids theater class for the past few weeks. They have been learning basic acting skills and how to pantomime using the book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. The unveiling of their hard work took place during their last class when they put on a performance for the parents.

They showed us a few of the theater games that they have played including using pantomime to act out different objects and using different expressions and body language to portray various emotions while saying the same sentence (Julia's favorite emotion to portray was 'shy' - she has it down pat!). Then they acted out the book while the teacher narrated.

It was obvious that the kids had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the whole process.
