Acting Bugs<br />
What sort of classes are available?<br />
Acting Bugs sessions introduce pre-school<br />
children and toddlers to the magical world of<br />
drama and storytelling. The classes are designed<br />
so that the parent or carer can join in alongside<br />
the children.<br />
Advertorial<br />
Describe a typical class<br />
Under the umbrella of a story (which could be a<br />
well known classic or one of our devised stories),<br />
we play games, sing songs, role play and use<br />
props and bubbles to bring the stories to life.<br />

LoveEast about the great<br />
fun to be had at Acting Bugs<br />
What is Acting Bugs?<br />
Acting Bugs is a drama and storytelling group for<br />
pre-school children and their parents or carers,<br />
using puppets, role play, music and props to bring<br />
stories to life.<br />
What do the kids get most from the classes?<br />
The main thing which many parents comment<br />
on is how their children grow in confidence. It<br />
is also very beneficial for developing focus and<br />
concentration. And all this while having lots of fun.<br />
The parents really have a great time, too. Some<br />
tell me they're so sad when their child goes off to<br />
school or nursery as they can’t come any more!<br />
What else does Acting Bugs do?<br />
Well, if you're looking for a party that will get<br />
your little one's imagination buzzing, while giving<br />
them fun-filled exciting adventures, Acting Bugs<br />
specialises in creating magical parties for children<br />
aged 2–7 years. See our website for more info.<br />
Acting Bugs classes take place every Wednesday<br />
morning during school term time at the Hackney<br />
Forge, 243a Victoria Park Road, London E9 7HD.<br />

How did it all come about?<br />
I am an actress and some of you with under 5s<br />
might know me as Bobby from the Cbeebies<br />
series Me Too! I started doing Acting Bugs<br />
sessions in 2012 as I love working with children,<br />
particularly pre-schoolers and toddlers, and have<br />
a passion for play and having fun. When my kids<br />
were younger, I was frustrated with the lack of<br />
creative and imaginative activities we could attend<br />
together. The seed for Acting Bugs had been<br />
planted and now, in <strong>2016</strong>, I'm running several<br />
weekly sessions in many locations throughout<br />
East London, including Victoria Park, Clapton and<br />
Stoke Newington.<br />
