10 SKILLS YOUR CHILD CAN LEARN THROUGH DRAMA

1. Confidence

The theatre teaches kids to take command in any situation and to overcome a fear of public speaking. It teaches them to have confidence and to learn from their mistakes through practice.

2. Creativity

Children learn how to think creatively through role-playing. Some people call it out-of-the-box thinking, and it’s a skill that comes in handy as a working adult.

3. Focus

Having to listen and contribute during a play helps to develop key focus skills. Learning the skills required in theatre teaches kids to build greater concentration and keep their minds on the current task.

4. Accountability

Kids learn how important their role is to a group activity. If they are late with their lines or don’t prepare at all, it affects the overall outcome.

5. Dedication

Kids learn dedication through practice and delivering a final result. They learn how to show up on time, develop good work habits and put forth a great effort to deliver a successful show.

6. Body language

The theatre teaches nonverbal communication. Kids learn how to show their emotions through body language and how different movements are interpreted by others.

7. Teamwork

Children learn about the importance of working together. Whether it’s a children’s orchestra or a play, kids have to learn how to collaborate and contribute for the greater success of the entire group.

8. Determination

With consistent practice and determination, kids get a feeling of accomplishment after a performance. Developing determination at a young age helps them reach their goals in the future.

9. Receiving constructive feedback

Receiving criticism something that many adults have trouble with and may look at it as a negative part of their job. Through the theatre, children learn that feedback is just another part of the learning process, not something that should be taken personally.

10. Problem solving

Kids learn critical problem-solving skills in the theatre arts. They must learn how to transform a clay ball into a cup or how their characters will act in a certain situation. These practices will help children develop an important skill that is necessary as adults.
