Today we discovered a theatrical world outside in our playground. The children were using the water table and placing the Pirate Ship so it was going up and down the 'waves.' The children all took on roles for the characters of the Pirates and used appropriate drama techniques to extend the play. This includes using different pitches of voice, appropriate Pirate slang, Pirate phrases as well as negotiating the script with each other. Our Pirates went through the bumpy sea to the treasure island where they encountered Dinosaur Bones, alligators and even a giraffe fairy! This impromptu theatre class was great fun and a wonderful way for the children to use their imagination and creativity.
