An exciting drama activity is to start a chorus! It is an easy way to get children of all ages together focused on a common goal. The kids can also help pick out the songs. This also provides an opportunity for older kids to mentor the younger kids. The older kids can help the younger kids learn the songs and how to better their singing, etc. Also this activity is gender neutral and both boys and girls seem to love the idea of singing in a chorus. In addition if you work in a child care, day care, or teaching setting, this is a way to get the parents more involved and to impress the parents. The parents also have the ability to get more involved with their children since it gives them an opportunity to help the child learn their lines, etc. So give it a shot! Take care.
