drama class – Roylco

Make believe you are a pilot, cowboy, Viking, queen and more with lovely blank, printed Drama Hats!

All the Drama Hats come printed on blank paper and are die-cut into recognizable hat shapes. Choose between a crown, Viking helmet, captain’s hat, medieval warrior helmet, pirate hat, pharaoh headdress, aviator hat and cowboy hat!

Use markers, crayons or pencil crayons to color in the white parts of the hats.

Kids love to take their time filling in all the little details.

Encourage students to add embellishments and other fun craft materials to “fun up” their designs.

The older students tend to fill in more of the surface area than younger students do. You can encourage younger students to fill in the areas with paint if they are having trouble coloring in all the spaces.

Attach on a strip of paper to either side of the Drama Hats. You can accordingly tighten or loosen the strips to fit each child’s head. Tape it secure.

We cut out props such as eye patches and mustaches from craft foam and wore them along with our hats. The campers had a great time role-playing. A chunk of time was spent running around in the garden acting out the different roles and creating on-the-fly stories about adventures in the woods!

See the world through rose-colored glasses with R52023 Masquerade Glasses!

Age: 4+

Duration: 15 minutes

Learning Objectives: Develop fine motor skills with tracing and cutting out mylar “lenses.” Use the Masquerade Glasses for dramatic play activities and for encouraging shy students to coax out their inner actor!

You’ll Need:

• R52023 Masquerade Glasses

• Pink markers

• Pink mylar sheets

• Glue

• Scissors

The Masquerade Glasses are perfect for encouraging students to participate in dramatic play.

Pick a few coordinating marker colors. If students need to work out their design for their Masquerade Glasses, give them scrap paper to doodle on. You can find the plastic sheet “lenses” at your local office depot store as transparency sheets that you would use for light projectors.

The Masquerade Glasses need to be popped out from the card backing.

You can use the insides of the eyes as embellishments for the Masquerade Glasses.

Color in your Masquerade Glasses with the markers.

Next, you will need a transparency sheet. Test out several of your pink markers to see which will produce the best “pink lenses” effect. Simply rub the marker tip tightly across the transparency sheet. Lift the sheet up to your eyes and look through them to see if the lenses are clear enough to use. Use a lighter color if your chosen marker color blends too much and is too opaque.

Cut out a strip of the colored transparency sheet. You can color in an entire sheet and cut out smaller strips for each of the students.

Now we can get ready to add the lenses to the glasses!

To do this, first flip your Masquerade Glasses upside-down!

Place the strip of pink-colored transparency sheet on top so that it covers both of the eye holes.

Cut the transparency sheet down to two squares that fit directly over the eye holes.

Spread some glue around the edges of the eye holes. Press a square sheet on top of each eye hole.

Flip over, and voila! Your pink-lensed glasses are ready!

Here’s a look at the great variety of pink-lensed Masquerade Glasses you can make! Use the glasses to experiment with different lens effects. Try out different transparencies with a variety of marker types to see which works best in creating your own pair of cool “shades.”
