David Farmer's 101 Drama Games and Activities is an invaluable resource for any theater teacher. The games and activities are clear, succinct and easy to adapt according to your own class' needs. Every time I go through it, I find another game or activity that I can use as a theater specialist in an elementary school. If I had to nit pick about it, I would suggest that the cross referencing to other games included the page number so I could go directly to it, instead of having to search for it. Since many of the titles have similar words in them, it can get a bit confusing, but that's seriously nit picking, and of course, after I'm finished with it, I want more (which is a real compliment). Thank you, David, for all the work that went into creating such a versatile guide for theater teachers!

A really useful book of drama games - with games suitable for drama groups, schools and as general ice-breakers for classes and groups. I purchased the book after attending one of David's workshops in London and was pleased to find some of the games that he used in the workshop. I have used some of the games (e.g. Traffic Lights, Grandma's Footsteps and Clap Together) with my pre-school group and also used some of the games as warm-ups for my drama group at art school. The book is laid out clearly and is really easy to use too.

I like this book, but I was not as surprised as I was expecting. Good resource for drama teachers.
