Whichever teams wins the face-off chases the other team back to their side and tries to tag as many players as possible. Any players they tag from the losing team must now join their team, and they continue onto the next round. The game is over when one team has all the players on its side. Divide the group into teams of four to six people and have each team choose a spot around the room. The teacher calls out a scene such as Spiderman at the scene of a bank robbery, a birthday party gone wrong or a television awards show and then counts down from Teams have 10 seconds to organize a tableau and then freeze.
The teacher then goes around and views each tableau before choosing a winner for that round. The winning team receives a point.
Every student from the team must participate in the tableau or the team will be disqualified from the round. Tip: Remind the students about the use of levels and facial expressions at the start of the game.
Choose two to four students to start onstage and give them a scene to start such as lifeguards rescuing someone from drowning. The other actors will need to improvise and join in the new scene. It must be completely different to the scene that was happening before.
The teacher selects one person to be a gravekeeper, and they stand off to the side. The other students lie on their backs on the ground with their eyes open. They must stay completely still, with a straight face. They are not allowed to touch the person on the ground. Anyone they succeed at making laugh is alive again and joins the gravekeeper in going around and trying to make the other students laugh or speak. This is a great game for helping your students learn stage directions.
The teacher calls out stage directions, such as downstage right or center. Any students who move there otherwise are eliminated. Try to keep the calls coming quickly to keep the game interesting. The teacher selects one student to sit in a chair and face away from the rest of the group. Ask the student in the chair to close their eyes. Once all three students have gone, the student in the chair must guess who each one was.

Have one actor turn to face the other. You can mix and match different aspects of this exercise with the intention of getting your students to listen and respond. This building up of aware of one another will help to break down barriers between them and make room for stronger connection. For this exercise have your actors sit at a table together. They are going to mime having breakfast. No verbalization for this exercise. Each actor must be dedicated to making the other actors breakfast as satisfactory as possible.
There are strong elements of care and concern that may resonate. This does consist of where you are with your actors in terms of blocking the scene or as we prefer to say, the movement of the scene or choreography of the scene at hand. You may have choreographed the scene already but your actors come off as stiff. There can be a number of reasons for this. Scenario : Let us assume that there are two actors within the scene but they are coming off tense and rigid.
Let us also assume that you have previously choreographed the scene. Here are a couple of solutions that may get things moving in the right direction to help free things up. Go back to the beginning and have your actors sit side by side, reading their scene out loud.
Do not have them make any contact with their eyes. Read the entire scene this way. Pay careful attention to their behavior because there are clues that will reveal itself to you as to where the problem may be. Next, ask one of them to stand up and use the space however they desire, not the choreographed version while the other actor remains seated. This will break the mold and find new elements anew.
Have your actors read through the entire scene again. Pay close attention to innate discoveries that were touched on based on what the actor physically displayed.
After you all have gone through the scene, ask the actor using the space some of the following questions as it pertains to the scene and what your actors do: example. There are no wrong or right answers.
