Theatre Games Learned

Director's Coming
One student is the "director" and 5 students are "actors" on stage. The director calls stage directions for the actors to follow. 

Hello Joe!

Students practice projection by standing on stage and saying Hello Joe! to the audience.

Emotional Jobs

Students stand in a line in a neutral position, with their hands at their sides, feet about shoulder's distance apart. The teacher calls out an emotional state such as ecstatic, worried, depressed, etc. as well as an occupation such as mailman, doctor etc. Students transform into a pose that reflects that state. They may raise their hand if they think of something an "angry doctor" would say etc.  

Frozen Statues/Emotions

Students stand in a line in a neutral position, with their hands at their sides, feet about shoulder's distance apart. The teacher calls out an emotional state such as ecstatic, worried, depressed, etc. and students transform into a pose that reflects that state. 

Mirrors

In pairs, players face each other. They choose one person to lead and one person to follow. The goal of the game is for the players to feel completely in sync with one another.
