Kids love to be funny! Every classroom or neighbourhood has a child whose greatest ambition is to make people laugh -- and all children love to laugh at the jokes and antics of their friends. This book is designed to bring out the humour in every child. For those who already have a comic streak, it provides wonderful new material for routines and scenes. For shyer children, it boosts self-confidence and a sense of fun. The first few chapters tackle the idea of comedy and what makes it funny, introducing famous comedians like Charlie Chaplin and Lily Tomlin and a variety of ways for young comics to create a trademark style. Later chapters offer hilarious improvisation games and valuable tips -- for instance, don't ask questions in improvisation routines, but instead make statements that other actors can build on. The book concludes with comedic scenes for young people and suggestions for comedic play that kids can perform.
"For aspiring young comedians and shy kids alike." -- Learning Magazine.
