Books of drama games are always useful when you need to refresh your repertoire for class warmups, drama clubs and activities that lead into devised work. I have a few on my shelf, but I'm always looking for more!

Joanne Watkinson has a wealth of experience in drama, as a writer and teacher, having founded her own theatre school, so I was really looking forward to reading this book.

It's split into four sections: Warm up games; Improvisation and devising; Improvisation for large groups and Working with script. What I would say having read the book, is that three of these sections are excellent and you'll get a huge amount of use and value out of them.
