Theatre Games Learned

Hello Joe!

Students practice projection by standing on stage and saying Hello Joe! to the audience.
World's Worst
4-5 students stand in a line on stage and are given an occupation. They must then say/do what the world's worst (insert occupation) would say/do.
Dr. Know-It-All
Dr. Know-it-all is played by three players, sitting in a line of 3 chairs, and who are only allowed to speak one word at a time. So each player will say only one word, in the order Player 1-2-3-1 and so on. Another player, the host, will play the interviewer who questions Dr. Know-it-all, pulling questions from the audience and one question the host may ask.
Enunciation (1 inch Tall)
Students practiced speaking clearly and projecting by reading this Shel Silverstein poem aloud to their peers from the stage.
Auditioning 
Students practiced "auditioning" in front of their peers from the stage.

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.
