Abstract

Theatre as an educational tool has gained significant attention in recent years for its profound effects on children’s development. It provides a multifaceted platform for learning that incorporates cognitive, social, and emotional elements. The use of theatre in education involves activities such as role-playing, storytelling, improvisation, and dramatic performances, all of which stimulate creativity and foster holistic development. This background will explore how theatre contributes to the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of children while drawing on recent academic studies.
