Summer is the best time to be a kid. School is out, the weather is great and each day promises a new adventure – at least, that’s how it used to be. Today, summer’s biggest rival is a digital display. It’s time to ditch the electronic devices, gather up the neighborhood kids and show them how to have some old-fashioned summer fun.

The world of drama, in all its different forms, is a great tool for families who want their children to make their own fun. While we often think of drama taking place in theatres with a cast of tens or more, there are lots and lots of ways to incorporate creative drama games and activities in your own home. And it’s a ton of fun!
