Do you know how to play? If you are a teacher with little to no experience teaching drama, this program is for you. TNT DramaMatters and the Screen Actor’s Guild Foundation have partnered to develop the “How-to-Play” video and teaching guide for educators who want to understand how to bring drama into their classrooms. With “How-to-Play,” you’ll learn step-by-step how easy it is to help your students:

• Develop creative expression
  
• Improve literacy skills
  
• Build confidence, communication, and cooperation through having fun
  

Our video lessons were filmed over a 10 week period in a real-life setting, using children with no previous drama experience. In our program, you’ll learn by watching these students discover:

• Theatre games
  
• Improvisation tactics
  
• Creative writing skills
  
• Theatre vocabulary
  
• How to create a dramatic performance
  

To make it even easier, we’ve included a teaching guide to help you follow along with our instructors. Want to play?
