The purpose of this study is to clarify the approach of Winifred Ward's creative drama. In this paper I analyze the creative drama activity: "GOLDILOCKS" leaded by Ward. I discuss the definitions of creative drama, the goals and objectives, the history of Ward's creative drama, and her representative activity. Creative drama is a process-oriented, improvisational drama activity which is guided by a creative drama leader. It has educational goals/objectives. Her major goals of creative drama are the individual and social development of children. Her approach requires a leader who has skills of storytelling and acting, knowledge of education, child development, and theatre/drama. Through these analyses I clarify the following five distinguishing characteristics in her creative drama: (1) Literature is the main stimulus for her creative drama because she is a good storyteller. (2) Her creative drama has a sequence: warm-up exercises, basic exercises, and complex exercises. (3) Her creative drama uses "a building-block sequence of activities: "movement/pantomime", "characterization", and "dramatization". (4) In her creative drama children show their work each other (5) Her creative drama has "evaluation" in the end of the activity.
