Fun Theatre Sites for Most Kids

Looking for interesting theatre sites to help theatre students learn about theatre?

I often receive calls concerning teaching kids about drama. I constantly do research to find resources when working with elementary school children and middle school children. I have selected a number of intriguing sites to go to. Have fun!


	Charles and Mary Lamb, Tales from Shakespeare
	Charmingly retold prose versions of twenty of the most popular plays. For kids 8-12.
	http://shakespeare.palomar.edu/lambtales/LAMBTALE.HTM

	Dramania
	"Drama-y Things to Do for Kids" with fun activities for One Person, Two People, Lots of People. A few links are broken, but these activities are delightful. For kids and their parents, 5-12. An older site, but still interesting.

	Dreaming Shakespeare
	A PBS site with notes for parents and teachers to surf the site with their children. A fun story with a hip version of information about the plays; has quotes from Shakespeare. For kids 7-12.
