Lessons & Classroom Games for Teachers
Game: Improvise - Short Lesson
By:sam
This is fun for older kids, age ten or so and older, and for groups of five to eight.
Two kids start out acting a scene which can be anything at all: playing ball, dancing, eating a meal, driving a car, anything. While the two are acting, one of the rest of the group (who are watching) calls 'Stop!' or 'Freeze!'. The two who are acting stop in mid-motion, and the person who called 'stop' takes the place of one of the people frozen, but has to replace them in the same pose they were in. The person that was removed joins the rest of the spectators, and restarts the scene by saying 'Go!'.
The game continues until everyone is bored - this may take some time.
