This document discusses different types of dramatized experiences including plays, pageants, pantomime, tableaus, puppets, and role playing. It describes plays as depicting life, character, or culture. Pageants are usually community dramas based on local history. Pantomime conveys a story through bodily movements alone. Puppets can present ideas simply without elaborate costumes or scenery. Common puppet types include shadow, rod, hand, glove-and-finger, and marionettes. Role playing involves spontaneously dramatizing pretend situations where participants are absorbed in their roles.
