Taboo (or Hot Seat) Easy All ages Divide the class into Teams A and B. Team A sits in a group on one side of the classroom, Team B sits on the other side. Bring two chairs to the front of the room so that when seated, a student is facing his or her respective team and their back is to the blackboard or white board. One member from each team sits in their teams chair. The teacher writes a word, phrase, or sentence on the board. The students in the chairs mustnt see whats written on the board. Once the teacher yells go, the teams have one minute, using only verbal clues, to get their seated teammate to say the item written on the board. The only rule (or taboo) is that they MUSTNT say the item written on the board, in full or part. The first student in the hot seat to utter the word scores a point for their team. When the round is over, two new team players are rotated into the hot seat and a new item is written up. The first team to score X number of points wins. Variation: To ensure a slightly quieter and less chaotic game, the teams can take it in turns. Rather than two students in the hot seat, only one member from each team plays at a time. The teacher as usual scribbles a word on the board and gives the team one minute to get their teammate to say the item. If the hotseated player manages to say the word, the teacher quickly writes another item on the board and so on until the minute is up. The team scores a point for every item they manage to say within one minute.

Trang 33 Pictionary Easy All
ages Divide the class into Teams A and B Team A sits in a group on one side of the classroom, Team B sits on the other side One member from each team goes to
the board The teacher flashes them a word, phrase, or expression written on a piece of paper The students have one minute to get their respective team to say the item only by drawing pictorial clues on the board Written words, verbal clues, or gestures are forbidden The first team to say the word scores a point
topic which is to be kept secret from the other team Each team meets for 5 minutes in private and collectively draws up a list of ten items related to the topic After the lists are made, the game begins The teacher tells Team A the name of Team B's topic Team A then has one minute to try to guess the items on Team B's list (hence producing a noisy outburst) The members of Team B must listen and tick the items which Team A manages to guess For every word Team A guesses correctly, they score a point For every word they miss, Team B gets a point After the points are recorded, it's Team B turn to guess Team A's list Additional rounds can be played with different topics assigned by the teacher The first team to score X number of points wins
standing Easy 9+ Give the class a topic and ask them to stand up, in a circle if possible Clap out a beat and say, one, two, three, followed by a topic-related word After the next
three beats, the next student in the circle gives a word related to the topic, and
so it continues Anyone who can't think of a word or repeats a word already said has to sit down and it's the next person's turn The winner is the last one standing
game Medium 10+ Divide the class into 3 or 4 teams and assign a secretary for each group On one side of the board, write down six categories related to a topic To start the game,
the teacher randomly selects a letter of the alphabet and scribbles it onto the board Each team must then work together to quickly find a word for each of the six categories that starts with the chosen letter The first team to complete all six
Trang 4categories shouts "stop!" The class then stops writing, and a member of the team goes to the board to fill in the categories The teacher then checks each word with the class and also elicits what other teams had for each category If the quickest team has filled in each category correctly, they earn one point for their team The teacher then chooses a different letter and another round is played The first team to score X number of points wins.

columns”
Animal
s Col-ours Food Clothes Turquoise Tuna Trousers
to line up facing the board
• The student at the front of each team needs chalk or a board pen

Challenge Easy All ages Put the students into pairs or small groups Give them a time limit (e.g 3 minutes) and ask them to write down as many words, phrases, and/or expressions as they
can from the last lesson on topic X The pair or group that can remember the most items wins
Trang 12Variation: To add a spelling accuracy component, teams can also earn an extra point for each correctly spelt item.
33 Moving Name Easy All ages This is the best game to start with when working with a new group I’ve seen it
work with university students as well as with six year olds
1. Get your group into a circle
2. Say your name with a matching gesture and vocalisation Samuel for instance could be signalled with two punches and spoken in a high pitched voice
3. Once you have performed your name, the whole group mimics you They must try to copy the way you said your name as well as the physical
movement
4. Continue this around the circle till each person has said their name
Tip: the more whacky you set the standard the better result you’ll get from the students
Tip: encourage the students not to think too much, but to jump straight it – looking stupid is mandatory
learnt a few names and it is a good way to solidify names for you and the other students
1. Get your group into a circle
2. You must make eye contact with someone in the circle, say their name and move to take there place
3. The person whose name you called must pick another person in the circle, say there name, and take there place in the circle
4. Continue this until each student has had a turn
Tip: encourage students to relax and focus If they get flustered and panic it disrupts the flow of the game
Trang 1335 Me to you Easy All ages This is a really simple exercise for a large group which encourages connection and
focus It requires students to be hyperaware and really focus
1. Get your group into a circle
2. The person starting must make eye contact with someone else in the circle (working across the circle is best)
3. They then must gesture to themselves and say “me” followed by a gesture
at the other person in which they say: “to you” It should seamless
4. If you are targeted you then accept the offer and continue in the same way
to a new person in the circle
5. Once this has gone around the circle a few times, lose the words and get your students to simply use gesture and eye contact
6. If they are successful at this then drop the gesture and simply use eye contact
Tip: encourage your students to be clear and direct Also make sure that all the students get a turn
Associa tion with Clicks
Medium Late
primary/ 2ndschool
1. Get your group into a circle
2. Firstly, teach your students the rhythm which they will make with their bodies: thigh slap, clap, then click (right hand), click (left hand)
3. Get the group comfortable with this rhythm
4. When clicking with the right hand the student whose turn it is must say the persons before them’s word and then a new word that associates with that word when clicking with the left hand
5. The next person in the circle (work in a clockwise motion) must do the same They must repeat the last persons word with the right click and then think of a new word when they click with the left hand
6. The thigh slap and clap gives the game a steady rhythm and stops students panicking
7. Continue this until you have done a few successful laps around the circle
Trang 14Tip: Stress the importance of keeping the rhythm steady Groups tend to naturally speed up quite quickly Students often find this game particularly funny, so try to keep them focused.
Tip: If the rhythm is too confusing, try a simple game of word association around the circle instead
1. Get the students into pairs
2. Student A must create a pose (a frozen image with his or her body)
3. Student B must then, without thinking about it too much, create their own pose that compliments Student A’s pose For example Student A may have posed doing a karate chop, and student B may then freeze in a
38 Freeze circle Medium All ages This is a great improvisation game It is similar to the well known “Space Jump” but
a little easier to explain
1. Get your group into a circle
2. A student enters the circle and begins a solo improvisation Get the group
to help come up with a scenario
3. Then say freeze at an appropriate moment
4. Some else from the group gets into the circle and starts a new improvisation, inspired by the other persons frozen pose
5. Let the improvsiation run for around 30 seconds then say freeze when the students are in an interesting position
6. A new person from the group then goes into the circle and tags out the one who has been in the longest
Trang 157. They then take up the exact position of the frozen person and start a new scene, inspired by the combined frozen image.
8. Keep going until everyone has had a go or the group starts to become disinterested
Tip: encourage your students to be creative and not just to aim at cheap/easy comedy There is no reason why improvisation can’t be serious or even moving
jump Medium All ages (8+)
1. ur students go up on stage
2. Number the students 1-4
3. The student who is number 1 comes onto the stage The audience thinks of
a scenario for student 1 For example he/she may be in a zoo
4. Student number 1 then begins an improvisation about the given scenario When you feel it has gone on enough, usually about 20 seconds you call Space Jump!
5. Student 1 then freezes and student 2 comes on stage They use the pose student 1 is frozen in to inspire a new scene
6. The two actors then continue on until again you feel it has been long enough and again call Space Jump!
7. This same process happens for students 3 and 4
8. Once the final scene, which should have all 4 students in, has been going for enough time you again call Space Jump! Student 4 then leaves the scene and the scene reverts to what the 3 students were doing before
9. This reversal continues until there is only student 1 alone on stage improvising in their first scenario
Tip: Try to encourage a diverse range of scenarios You often see the same stuff over and over
come back and perform is really effective This game encourages creativity and
Trang 16physical expression.
1. Split your group up into three It doesn’t matter the size of each group
2. Instruct each group to come up with three poses or “statues” which portray
a story
3. The three poses should represent a beginning, middle and end of a story
4. Give each group around 5 minutes to prepare
5. Get the class to reform and let each group perform
6. Then get the rest of the class to explain what the story (DVD) was about.Tip: give both the group performing and those guessing positive feedback if they are successful
41 Four corners Easy All ages I often use it to start a lesson as it’s simple to explain and gets the students
3. The students who are in the corner that the student in the middle picks are then out
4. The game continues until there is a winner
5. The winner then becomes the one in the centre
Tip: Think of some really fun name of the corner Kids, and adults for that matter, love being involved in decisions!
character Easy All ages This is often a great way to get a class going It is not really an acting game, but just playing with characters
1. Get the students to walk around the space
2. If you have a class theme choose some character appropriate to that theme
Trang 17and get the students to walk in that manner For example walk like a King, Queen, Clown.
3. You can also do this exercise with animals Getting the students to gradually become different animals
4. You can then get the students to interact as their characters or animals, however sometimes this can result in bedlam
5. Play until students start to get disinterested It is just a simple way to get students in the mood for acting
Tip: This game has no right and wrong It is just a simple way to warm up the class.Tip: Act with the students Show that you can’t be too stupid
Game
Easy All ages This is a really good game to start with when working with a big group Basically
this game is for warming up and getting you thinking
1. Get the students to walk neutrally around the space
2. If you say stop the students must go and vice versa Explain this to the students
3. Do this a few times to get them warmed up
4. Then teach the kids the swap of jump with clap Then do this with the students a few times
5. Now freely change between all the options, trying to catch them out
6. Carry on until the game begins to tire
Word
Easy All ages It gets students using their bodies and increases observation skills
1. Split the group in half If you have an uneven number you may have to take part
2. Once everyone has lined up get them to pick a partner
3. Gather one half in and give them a word It is best to use emotions for example, passion, love, anxiety
4. The goal is for the students to express that word to their partners simply using their bodies for expression
Trang 185. Try to keep the two groups in two lines opposite each other so people aren’t running into each other.
6. The listening group then has to guess the word
7. Go through each person in the listening group and see if they have got it right
8. Change groups and repeat using a new word Go till the group starts to tire,
2 goes each is about right
Mud Easy All ages This is a quite a well-known game that isn’t necessarily related to acting; however, it is a lot of fun and gets students moving and in a good mood
1. Choose one person to be “tagger” or “up” (the person who tags people) If you have a large group 20+ get two or three people to be the taggers
2. If you are tagged you must stay still and outstretch your legs and arms, like
2. Another student jumps up and does a different repetitive gesture
3. Continue this until all the students have added to the “robot”
4. The students must maintain their original gesture and the goal is to create
an interesting and diverse looking robot
Tip: I wouldn’t recommend doing more than two robots as it can take time and
Trang 19can be tiring for the group.
/ 2nd
A fun little performance game
1. Choose four students to take part
2. Two students must then sit on stage in two chairs It should be set up like
an interview
3. They must then put their hands behind their backs The other two students must hide behind the chairs and slip their hands through the seated student’s
so that it gives the impression they are the seated students arms
4. You then name an interviewer and interviewee The interviewee must be an
‘expert’ in a particular field Let the students help you pick scenarios
5. Let the interview begin and continue until it starts to lag
Tip: Encourage the students who are doing the hands to not be too over the top
Scissors- Rock
Paper-Easy All ages This game is really only for fun, but it can be great to break up a class
1. Split the group in half and get each group to stand on either side of the room
2. The game works in the same way as Scissors-Paper-Rock; however, instead
we use Wizard-Giant-Knight Wizard beats the Giant, Giant beats the Knight and Knight beats the Wizard
3. Teach the students the action of each character Make it simply and bold and representative of the character Add a vocalisation if you wish
4. Each group then decides which one they will perform and on your signal they do the action
5. Name the winner using the rules above
6. Usually playing best of three is more than enough
Whispe rs
Easy All ages Everyone knows this game, but it is fantastic and really useful, especially with
younger children It encourages good diction and listening skills
1. Get your group into a circle, either seated or standing
Trang 202. Start by whispering a short sentence into the ear of the person next to you.
3. Let the sentence travel around the circle in this same manner and see if it comes back to you the same as it started
4. The goal is to get it back intact, but it can provide some great fun when it goes horribly wrong
1. Get your group into a circle
2. Walk around the circle and number off the students 1,2 or 3
3. Then simply come up with fun things for the students to act For example: 1’s are wild animals etc
4. Continue until each number has had a few goes
Your Majest y
Easy All ages
(primary ideal)
A really simple game to burn some time at the end of a class
1. Get the students to sit in a line
2. Place a chair facing away from the students
3. One student is chosen to sit in the chair He/She must then shut their eyes
4. Students are then picked from the line to sneak up behind the student in the chair, and in a weird or different voice, they say: Greetings Your Majesty
5. This student then returns to their seat in the line
6. The student in the chair must guess which student it was
7. If the student in the chair gets it right they stay in the chair, and this will continue until they get five right in a row
8. If they get in wrong, however, the student who tricked them becomes the one in the chair
9. This continues until the game tires
Calls All Those Who…
Easy This game works really well at the start of a lesson, and is very easy to explain and
everyone gets a go
1. Make a circle out of chairs, with one chair in the middle
2. The person in the middle says: “the monster calls all those people who have… (think of something that will apply to most of the children, for example
Trang 21blue eyes, bare feet, boys and so forth)”.
3. The people who that call applies to have to get up and move seats The person who is last to take a new seat is now in the middle
4. Continue this until everyone has had a go Each time they must think of a new thing to call out
5. You can change monster to anything that fits with your class.
Tip: Try to encourage kids that being the last one to find a seat is not good, otherwise they may try and lose on purpose, which isn’t good for the flow of the game
coming Easy 6-10 This is a silly game that can work really well with a younger group.1. Begin by telling a story to the children about an age without technology
where people had to chop wood etc
2. All the children then have to find some physical action, based on an old fashioned job like wood chopping, hunting, or washing clothes and begin doing this action somewhere in the room
3. The teacher then leaves the room momentarily and returns as the bear
4. Once the bear arrives, the students must freeze where they are, and as the bear you must try to make the students laugh
5. If a student laughs they join you as a bear and you work together until you have made everyone laugh
Tip: The bears cannot touch the frozen children!
Bluff Easy 6+ You will need:All you will need is a blindfold and enough space for some excitable children!
How to play:
Choose one child to be "it", and blindfold him or her Turn her round a few times
to disorientate her a little, while the other children group themselves around her Then let her try to tag one of the other children, who will then become "it"
Trang 22Play as above, but when a child is caught the blindfolded child must try to guess who it is by carefully feeling their face and hair
55 Call My Bluff Medium 2nd ideal This is a fun word game which can help children to learn new words, practise
dictionary work and presentation skills! It works best in a classroom or large group setting, and you will need time to prepare
You will need a large dictionary and at least 4 players, preferably more
3 players are chosen to give the first presentation They must choose a difficult word from the dictionary (which they hope no-one will know) and write 3 definitions for the word One of the definitions must be true, and the other two should be plausible (but can be funny)
Now write the word on a card or the chalkboard and ask the 3 children to read out their words to the group of class, giving no indication which is right and which are wrong Make sure the children adopt a good poker face when giving their
definitions!
The audience now votes on which is the right definition If they guess right, the audience gets a point If they guess wrong, each of the other 2 presenters gets a point!
Variations:
3 adults or older children can prepare a number of words in advance, and present them to younger children Instead of using word definitions, you can write 3 or more "truths" about a character you are studying, or perhaps a favourite celebrity The audience has to guess whether the "facts" are right or wrong
Flag Easy All ages Capture The Flag has always been a huge favourite with my kids You will need:
A large group of children
