Kohl Children's Musuem Guide 2019 Fall

42 CALENDAR OF EVENTS It’s time to let your inner actor out with Theatre Games . Through a variety of creative dramatic exercises, we will explore gross and fine motor skills, problem solving, listening and speaking skills, following directions, and building confidence. Theater Games takes place Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. Theatre programming has been underwritten in part by the Elizabeth Morse Charitable Trust. Oct 3 & 10: Monster Mash Let’s be a mad scientist and build a monster. Be the big sharp teeth. Be the scary bat wings. Be the squirmy, slimy tentacles. Then work together with the other monster parts so we can scare the grownups. RAAAAAR! Oct 17, 24 & 31: Masquerade Sometimes actors use masks. They can make us silly; they can make us scary; they can make us into whatever we want to be. Try on some masks (and take a new mask home) as we explore who can be when we join the masquerade. Nov 7 & 14: Copy Kitty Can you do what I do? (Can you do what I do?) When I raise my arm (you raise your arm). When I run in place (you run in place). When I talk (you repeat). Try and mirror each other’s actions as closely as we can and see who is the best copy kitty. Nov 21: Silly Face Brigade Your face will freeze that way. Unless you practice. See how far your face will stretch with sad faces, happy faces, duck faces, baby faces, and MONSTER faces. Dec 5 & 12: Everybody Dance Are you ready to groove? Show off your best and silliest dances as we take turns imitating each other’s most killer moves. Dec 19 & 26: FREEZE! It’s cold outside, so cold you might just FREEZE! At any moment. Maybe while dancing you FREEZE! Or playing basketball you FREEZE! Or eating ice cream. FREEZE! Come play a frigidly fun game of FREEZE! THEATRE GAMES
