children's lives, as well as how cognitive development helps in their lives and how
theater walks in child development along with games, based on personal
memories as a child and the contributions theorists of Viola Spolin and Tizuko
Kishimoto, who developed techniques that use games and improvisation as tools
for learning and developing social and emotional skills. Exploring Spolin's ideas,
it is highlighted how his approaches can be applied in theatrical games,
