  1. Theatre 1

  2. Yawning range Basically you yawn, but as you yawn you make noise. Start at the lowest noise you can make and make your way up to the highest noise you can make. Do this several times and try not to fall asleep!!!

  3. The martha game Stand outside the designated performance space. One person runs into the space, forms her body into a statue and announces what she is, as in "I'm a tree." Instantly the next person runs on and forms something else in the same picture.  "I'm a bench under the tree." Continue on until everyone has a “part”.

  4. mimic In a group elect one person to be “it”. This person will leave the group until another person is elected as the leader. The leader will then begin any kind of simple movement and the rest will follow. The person elected as “it” will then return to the group and attempt to guess who is the leader judging by who they think the rest of the group is mimicing.

  6. Accents: In a group of 4-5 tell a story in different accents. Everyone has to participate.

  7. Human puppet Get in groups of 4. Two of you will be the “puppet masters” and the other two the “puppets”. The puppet masters will set up a scene by positioning the puppets however they want them. Once the scene begins the puppet masters control the movement of the puppets while the puppets control the flow of the scene by talking to each other. Remember it has to be school appropriate.

  8. Freeze and justify The group sits or stands around the acting space. Two people enter the space and begin to improvise a scene, with dialogue and as much physical action as possible. At any moment, anyone else in the group may shout, "FREEZE!" The actors freeze instantly and exactly. The person who stopped the scene taps one of the actors on the shoulder.  The actor sits down and the new person takes his or her position exactly. The new person must now initiate a new and DIFFERENT scene.  The scene must flow naturally from the positions of the two bodies, and it is the new person's responsibility to communicate to his or her partner and to the audience what the new scene is about. At any moment another person may shout, "FREEZE!" and it begins again.
