Dec 12 2022 Theatre Sports!


Attendance as emailed.

 
Reminders - NO students EVER to: sit on couches, have food or drink in the space, enter the sound or lighting room, utilize the backstage area or the upstairs area.

Please be sure that the sound/lighting room is locked as well as the teacher office AND the door to the drama classroom is locked and secured prior to departing for the day! 

Warm Up: TA's can lead and or student (appropriate) select 4-5 stretches to start the day!

Theatre Sports:

Character Jars!

There are jars with blue lids beside the teacher station. Select the 'people' - characters jar. 

Put students into groups of 3-4. Provide with 2-3 min on stage for them to act out their assigned characters (each group gets one). 

Audience to guess what character each group is.

Expansion - there are 'What' and 'Where' jars as well if you would like to expand on this activity.

Wax Museum/Night Watchman

For Night Watchman, one person is designated as it (the Night Watchman) and everyone else will play as a wax statue.  The Night Watchman will cover their eyes and count to 10 while everyone else strikes a pose somewhere within the room/playing space.

Then the Night Watchman will walk about the room attempting to catch anyone moving.  Everyone else will attempt to change poses and/or move to a new location when the Night Watchman has their back turned to them.  If caught moving, they then become the Night Watchman and the game starts again.  The Night Watchman can try to get people to move, but may not touch anyone.  Blinking, breathing, sneezing, and coughing cannot get a person out. 

Gravekeeper

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. The gravekeeper’s job is to go around and try to make each person laugh or speak using only acting. 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.

Dec 8 2022 Last Day for Radio Play Rehearsal

Last Day for Radio Play Rehearsal - sound effects to be completed.  To End: Dude! Players stand in a circle and look down or close their eyes.  Someone counts to three and everyone must look up at someone eyes.  If anyone makes contact, they are to say "Dude" and take a seat.  A variation of this is instead of saying "Dude", they pretend to die dramatically.  Elimination continues until everyone is out. Possibly - Wink Murder or  Clump:  Split class in half. Half on couches and half to activity. Then switch. Participants walk around the stage space. I will call out a number. Students - you need to try to get into groups of that number. Any participant that does not make it into the group - is - out of the game. OR Re-Do  Wax Museum/Night Watchman For Night Watchman, one person is designated as it (the Night Watchman) and everyone else will play as a wax statue.  The Night Watchman will cover their eyes and count to 10 while everyone else stri...
