The Box

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners of any age can participate in this imagination and improve development activity. With the use of a small box, they work through a series of questions or situations posed by the teacher. Each group uses the box to create short improved scenes. This could also be a good way to develop storytelling skills.
