Lesson Overview
Students will learn about using their imagination to act out a story in an imaginary location, using the setting and items around them. Students will think creatively and problem solve. After some guidance through the story, students will be invited to work independently to create an environment and act out a story of their own devising. Students will be practicing skills to meet playmaking and expressive movement standards.

Examples to use or encourage: chair, table, blanket, sheet, towel, doll or stuffed animal, stick, pillow, ball, small rug, basket, or box. ***Action figures or dolls from tv/film are problematic because that will strongly influence the child's story choices.
