From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-A delightful romp through the world of humor, this title seeks to teach children how to be funny. While it may be difficult to learn to be a comedian from a book (there are elements of timing and talent involved), Bany-Winters offers delightful skits, games, and ideas to encourage the art of entertainment. The games and activities included should be useful to any adults who need ideas to help entertain youngsters. The author encourages readers to find their comedic style by introducing many famous comics and telling what worked for them. She goes on to describe how characterization, voice, makeup, props, and music can be used to create one's own style. She also includes a bevy of games, improvisational skits, and songs. Shaded boxes give interesting related facts, and black-and-white sketches show children enjoying the suggested activities. This book offers a wealth of information and hours of fun.

This review is from: Funny Bones: Comedy Games and Activities for Kids (Paperback)
Kids love to laugh. We were learning how to tell a joke, and the rehearsals for that went fairly well, but they needed some more loosening up. This book has many fun games that help kids open up and forget themselves. I highly recommend anything that Lisa Bany-Winters writes!
