Acting games are an incredible & fun way to develop your kid's natural acting talents. Valuable lessons are interwoven with LOTS of laughs. And it's a fantastic way to bond with your kid.

Read the full article (with 4 BONUS games and detailed benefits) here: 7 acting games for kids you must try.

A Million Ways To…

The idea is simple — pick an activity, any activity, and do it in as many different ways as possible!

Here's an example: Opening the fridge.

You can do it as: someone that's hungry, someone that's bored, someone that's checking what they have so they can prepare a grocery list, like a caveman that's surprised by the technology, like a fridge repair man trying to find the issue, and many, many other ways.

You're only limited by your creativity.

Tongue Twisters

Tongue twisters are the best way to develop a clear speaking voice which is invaluable for any actor. Prepare a list of tongue twisters and then take turns saying them with your kid!

Here are some examples:

  • Pay the purple people eater.
  • Chester the Cheetah chews a chunk of cheap cheddar cheese.
  • If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose?

Character Charades

Everybody loves charades. In this actor-version of the game you always need to play a character. So, if the word is, for example, Cowboy, then you or your kid HAVE TO act like the cowboy — riding a horse, throwing a lasso, herding cattle.

You're not allowed to show the word in any other way (e.g. showing a cow and then a boy). To get the acting benefits from this game you must become the character you have to show.
