What is Kids&Theatre?

Who is it for?

Kids&Theatre is for 4 to 7-year-old students who study English at Kids&Us. The plays and songs have been written by Kids&Us educational experts to ensure that the vocabulary and structures are suitable for the children's level.

There are between 6 and 10 children at most in each group, and children are not split up into age-based groups.

Where does it take place?

Kids&Theatre is conducted in the school as a complementary extracurricular activity, in addition to the Kids&Us courses.

How long does it last?

The Kids&Theatre course comprises 36 sessions + 6 extra sessions, which last for one hour.

What does Kids&Theatre consist of?

Classes are fun and lively. Rehearsals are alternated with acting activities and games involving mime, sound, movement, music and craft activities to make props that will be used in the play.

The teacher only uses English to communicate with students in Kids&Theatre classes. That way, English is not only used for the final performance but also throughout the entire process of preparing the play.
