Build your confidence from the inside out!

Storytelling
Organized by Elana

What You’ll Do In this high-energy, imagination-powered course, kids will use improvisational theatre to build essential life skills like confidence, empathy, teamwork, and emotional regulation. Each edition we’ll tackle a different social-emotional theme—like dealing with big feelings, making friends, or speaking up—all through fast-paced games, scene work, and character play. It’s all about learning to be the best you... while having a lot of fun along the way!

Each Edition You Will:

🎲 Play improv games that stretch your imagination and sharpen your listening

🧠 Explore real-life challenges through role play and character work

💬 Practice communication tools like “Yes, and…,” making strong offers, and reading body language

🎭 Build mini-scenes and stories with your classmates

💫 Celebrate growth in a safe, supportive group

✨ Plus: End-of-month themed game party or performance jam!

Concepts Encountered:

This isn’t just play (though it is super fun!)—kids will be developing:

  • Self-awareness & emotional expression
  • Empathy & perspective-taking
  • Communication & collaboration
  • Resilience & flexible thinking
  • Confidence in sharing their voice

What You’ll Need:

Key Traits of Kids Who Might Be a Great Fit for Be the Best You:

  • Love to move, play, or perform: They may already enjoy storytelling, pretending, or just being silly!
  • Curious about people and feelings: Kids who like to understand why people do what they do, or who are learning how to handle their own big emotions.
  • Working on confidence or expression: Whether they’re shy or bold, this class helps all kids find their voice.
  • Need support in navigating friendships or feelings: If they sometimes feel unsure how to respond in social situations, improv gives them a safe place to practice.
