Format:Paperback
This book contains many challenging exercises which are right on track for the middle-level student of drama. The students enjoy the cooperative nature of most activities contained in the book. Teachers will find it easy to use and assess students' work thanks to the clear, concise directions and the included worksheets students use to plan the activities.
The index in the back also is extremely helpful in locating just the right type of exercise; entries are listed in categories such as "no preparation," "noisy rehearsal," "beginner level," and many other cross-references.
When I started teaching drama five years ago, this book was my lifesaver in planning classroom activities!

Format:Paperback
This book is great for drama teachers of varied experience across the board. It contains clear and concise activities which naturally progress thematically and in terms of group development and is also a flexible resource for a variety of topics and teaching scenarios. Variations are provided for a majority of the activities and they are easily adaptable to different groups and agendas. Advice on methods of using the book effectively is also provided. Most of my students have really engaged with the activities in the book as have I. A lot of the work is planned out and so essentially you can be as lazy or creative as you like!

Better than SPOLIN
1 Sep 2003
Format:Paperback
Viola Spolin's works tend to be the benchmark for theater students, and after reading this one, I am a convert to Novelly. Her ideas are useful, concrete, creative, and apply DIRECTLY to working onstage, not to hocus-pocus theater jargon. As a professional actress and drama instructor, I recommend this highly.

Excellent Classroom Resource!
13 April 2005
Format:Paperback
After nearly fifteen years of being away from the classroom, I was a bit nervous about teaching drama again. In searching for a resource that would get me back in the swing of things, I debated between this book and the classic Viola Spolin books. I finally decided on this one, and I couldn't be happier! The lessons in this book are easy to follow, easy to prepare (there's not much to preparation at all!), and, best of all, fun for the kids in class! The lessons are also easily adaptable to different circumstances, such as short class periods, environmental concerns (like needing a quieter activity), or needing a quick activity to warm the kids up. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in integrating drama into a classroom, or as a stand-alone resource in a full-fledged drama curriculum.
