Drama Games are a unique way to empower young people
Drama Games for Those Who Like to Say No is a quick-fire resource book for those working with difficult/reluctant students, youth groups and young offenders
Particularly those intent on saying "No" to whatever is offered them.
For these groups, drama games and activities need to be especially robust and engaging
The Games in this book have been devised with this in mind
And then tried and tested
Each game includes clear instructions on -
How to Play
Notes on the Benefits of the Game
And advice on age range, number of players and timing
Following the 90 games and exercises aimed at developing core skills, the book then offers scenarios for a series of improvisational challenges that test participants' abilities in mediation, communication, negotiation, assertiveness and managing emotions
Also included is a special collection of games aimed at preparing teachers and workshop leaders for facilitating challenging sessions
The ultimate aim is to encourage reluctant participants to engage and collaborate
And develop not just skills for drama, but skills for life
