A visiting children's theatre group was kind enough to put on a workshop for local homeschoolers this afternoon.  About a half hour, it was fun, though some of my kiddos weren't very interested.  Others were pretty pleased with the activity.  Different tools a person uses for acting were discussed, each followed by a short demonstration game with volunteers from the audience.  Observation, memorization, concentration, and imagination were all modeled.  It was humorous to watch the younger of the attendees attempt to perform given tasks.  The funniest moment for me was 8 yo son, who volunteered in a game which had each person demonstrate one task, and think up another for the next person to do.  8 yo had the next person model "plungering a toilet".  LOL.  Boy humor all the way, baby! 

A nice break in the routine,  it was a great chance to get together with some others, and as a bonus, get back on track with library books.  Even better, it was happy hour at Sonic.  Ya' gotta love it when you can get everyone a little treat on the way home for less than 7$!!!!  Fun, fun, fun!
