At Absolute Minds, we are deeply committed to unleashing a child's potential through the transformative power of drama. Our approach goes beyond traditional teaching methods; we use drama as a dynamic tool to ignite a child's confidence, sharpen communication skills, and foster a profound love for language. Our experienced instructors are not just teachers but mentors who guide each child in their journey of self-expression and articulate speech.
Speech and drama has become a popular curricular programme for both kids to adults alike. There are many benefits when enrolling in such a programme, from improving social skills to learning how to express oneself creatively. According to the study of "The Effect of Drama Education on Social Skill Levels of Students Attending Child Development Associate Programme" from Pamukkale University, it was found that students who had drama education scored higher and acquired more social skills than students without. With that, let's us now look at 6 different benefits of Speech and Drama.
It is without a doubt that to improve one's command of language, practice makes perfect. Speech and Drama provides a safe and environment for students to learn and practice together. Learning through stories, poems and songs is an especially fun way for preschoolers to pick up and master a language.
The ability to express oneself is an integral part to growing up as a mature and thoughtful individual. Drama helps pave the way for students to do so, from expressing their feelings to their very own ideas and thoughts. They are also able to increase their self-confidence as they begin to find out who they are as a person and to be able to express that confidently.
In today's global environment, to be able to articulate and speak confidently is an important skill set to master. With Speech and Drama, students are in a positive and safe environment to confront their fear of speaking in public. Students get to practice with their peers and with their newfound confidence will be able to do so in the real world.
Improvisation enables students to think on their feet. It helps with creative problem solving and looking at situations from different creative angles. This will further enhance their decision making skills, and with a positive learning environment it will build their confidence to be creative and independent thinkers.
Speech and Drama encourages good development of social skills. More often than not, students will be working together in a group so basic skills like sharing and listening to others are integral in the learning experience. Drama also encourages empathy towards others and world situations as students get exposed to different scenario through role-play activities and plays.
At Absolute Minds, we believe in taking Speech and Drama a step further. Our lessons are curated in a way that integrates learning moral values and life skills in a fun and safe environment. We believe that there are endless possibilities to a child’s creativity and by giving them an environment to explore, we hope to unleash their greatest potential.

We engaged Absolute Mind for our company’s Kids@Work event for 4 units of 1.2mx1.2m canvas painting. The facilitators were enthusiastic, spontaneous and engaging with the kids in their individual group. During planning, Moon was helpful in sharing her ideas and recommendations based on our unique requirements. Absolute Mind definitely is experienced in organising kids’ events. The 4 canvases painted by the kids, will definitely go up the walls in our office. Thank You.
My 5yo son attended both English Dance Party and Mandarin Enchanting Sneakers today. He loves the workshops! Teachers are patient and engaging. If I may recommend small room for improvement, perhaps the Mandarin teacher can speak a little slower to cater for kids with weaker command of Mandarin. Nonetheless, the overall experience from both sessions are still very positively-rated by our son
