McLennan, Deanna Marie Pecaski
Early Childhood Education Journal, v39 n6 p407-412 Jan 2012
Sociodrama is an arts-based, action-oriented tool of individual and collective social exploration and creative problem solving that allows participants to explore and find potential resolutions to issues of concern and conflict in their lives. This article describes how Early Years educators can begin to implement basic sociodrama into their existing programs in order to help children represent, explore, and reflect upon issues and problems of social importance.
