I disagree with sending toys and games to rehearsal unless you have okayed it with the director! One of the goals of an actor should be to stay engaged all the time, know where you are in the script, and be prepared. You never know when a "bit" might come your way. The director might need an extra person, or need an actor to say a line off stage; he is looking for a "smart cookie" who can jump in. Remind your child to not let others distract him or her!

I run a theatre program for children and youth. We always ask that the children stay inside until picked up by a parent. We also send them to the restroom with a buddy and remind them to stay together, and report back in together. Hopefully these are good habits that will continue.
