Unit D: Goals

• Know a range of games that encourage deeper thinking skills.

• Create a list of the games covered in the class that could fill those needs.

The Purpose of Deeper Thinking Games

In drama there is often a need for an actor to understand their character at a very deep level, this allows them to get into "the moment" while in character. It enables them to develop an internal monologue which frees them to truly think, act, react and respond as the character would. The techniques involved in this level of understanding can also be applied to academic knowledge and learning. The games in this module are here for that purpose.
