“…These areas include the elderly in nursing homes (Trzinski and Higgins 2001), juvenile delinquents in reformatories (Sime and Lee 1998), wartime counsellors (Stein et al 1995), and adolescent sex offenders (Lambie et al 1997). Sociodrama also has been used in education in a limited number of studies (Zachariah and Moreno 2006) to examine issues such as problem solving, behaviour intervention and therapy, diversity, and communication skills (Creekmore and Madan 1981;Grieco and Chambliss 2001;Landy and Borisoff 1987;Rosenthal and TetelHanks 1981;Riley 1990).

In the current age of academic rigor, standards and accountability, the fostering of caring relationships in the classroom may not always be a priority. Expressing care for another person is a skill that can be taught and nurtured through a supportive educational environment. Sociodrama encourages each of its participants to develop self-confidence and self-expression through risk-taking and exploration in activities that explore real life personal feelings and situations. By using sociodrama as a means for exploring issues in the classroom it is possible to celebrate participants' individuality and to create caring and nurturing relationships among educators and students. This article examines the research describing the benefits of including sociodrama in the elementary curriculum.

This a/r/tographic inquiry explores how Senior Kindergarten students experience sociodramatic activities based upon the work of Moreno (1943) and Boal (1985, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2006). Through explorations in sociodrama, eleven students (six males and five females) from one Senior Kindergarten classroom were encouraged to create and reflect upon common social issues and concerns as a classroom community through warm-ups, sociodramatic activities, and oral group reflections. By the conclusion of the twelfth workshop, students demonstrated an ability to successfully participate in the sociodramatic process including the exploration and reflection of issues of personal and collective importance.
