ACTION DRAMA

WITH THANKS TO http://www.canteach.ca/elementary/drama5.html

SuggestedGrades

3+

Objective Students will examine and use actions to present a cooperative story.

Method Pick a student to come to the front of the class and begin to mime

out a scene.

After about 15 seconds yell "freeze", which tells the actor to freeze

their position. Point to another student and have that student

replace the frozen student in their exact position and yell "go". This

student then continues and extends the action that the prior

student was in the middle of performing. Continue until all the students have had a turn.

Extension: After the story has been acted out, ask students to look

back at the whole story and write out a story based on the class'

actions.


2/28

AEIOU

The group makes a circle around the teacher.

Nobody can speak at the same time as the teacher.

Everyone repeats after the teacher. (Alternatively, they can say it along with the teacher.)

1. Teacher chants A E I O U

2. Teacher tells students to put a hill in the middle of the sound.

3. Partner off around the circle. Stare into each others eyes. Laughing is okay, its just atension release

4. Now repeat the exercise to each other whilst maintaining the gaze. Try to relate to your

partners tone/sound.

5. Try to introduce a movement to match the sound. Try varying the volume or mood.

6. Demonstrate in the middle to the rest of the group how you and your partner did the

exercise. Doesnt matter if it turns out differently this time. Its about the connection.


3/28

Alphabet Conversation

Have a conversation where each sentence begins with the next letter of the alphabet. This may seem difficult atfirst, but improves with practice. If you get stuck, you can also use sounds to start a sentence, for example

Mmmm or tut-tut. Here is an example:

A: Anyone seen my cat?

B: Black one, with funny eyes?

A: Cant say I remember.

B: Dont tell me youve forgotten what it looks like?

A: Every cat looks the same to me.

B: Fortunately, I found one yesterday

A: Gee, thats great

You could also try beginning somewhere in the middle of the alphabet. Then when you reach Z, return

to A until you arrive back where you started

Try setting the scene or location before you start

It's great for car journeys too!

Learning Objectives:To develop verbal improvisation skills

To practice the alphabet

Age Group: 8+

Participants: Pairs or small groups

Recommended time for activity: 10-20 minutes

Biddy Biddy Bop

Directions:

Everyone gathers in a circle and one person (randomly) starts in the middle. The player in the middle controls all

of the action by pointing and/or looking at a specific person and then saying one of the key words below.

If the person pointed at does not say or do what theyre supposed to, they switch places and become the newmiddle person. If the person pointed at does what theyre supposed to, the middle person tries to get out of the

middle again. If one of the players to the left or right of the person pointed at messes up, the person pointed at

still goes to the middle. This introduces a FYou element.

If the person in the middle doesnt get out, they can point to the same person or someone else, and they can say

the same key word or a different one.

For the key words with five counts, the players on the outside of the circle have five seconds to perform the

required action.

The Key Words:

The middle person says: You say or do:

Bitty bitty bop

Bop before the middle person finishes saying Bittty

bitty bop

Bop Dont say anything

Angel and counts to five

Put your hands together in prayer while the people to

your left and right make wings for you

Devil and counts to five

Make demon like growls and motions. People to your

left and right of you put devil horns on your head

Canoe and counts to five

Make a flute with your hands, howl and the people to

your left and right paddle

Cow and counts to five

Interlock your hands with thumbs at the bottom, people

to your left and right milk you

Elephant and counts to five

Makes trunk with your hands, people to your left and

right make big floppy dumbo ears on your head

Drink When: You mess up and have to go into the middle

Hard Core Drink When: The person in the middle says a key word and doesnt get out. Every time a new person

goes into the middle, they take a shot.

Let me know how it goes, or better yet, shoot a video of i t and post the link here.

Bomb and Shield

Game of the WeekGame of the Week is taken from101 Drama Games and Activities.

Come back for a new Game next week!

Without letting anybody else know, each person must choose two other people in the room. Now explain that the

first person they chose is a bomb and the second person is a shield. On a signal everybody starts moving around

the room with the aim of staying as far away from the bomb as possible and keeping the shield between him or

her and the bomb! You can give a signal to freeze at any moment to check whether they are doing it correctly.

The group will probably end up spread out, so as a contrast, you could also play 'Noses'.

(16 votes, average 3.88 out of 5)

A movement exercise for the whole group. Move around the room, filling up the space, changing pace, changing

direction, being aware of other people but not touching them. Now become aware of your nose. Let your nose

lead you around the room. Follow it wherever it goes!

Develop this by focussing on different parts of the body, so that participants begin to discover new ways of

moving. Very useful for dance or physical theatre, or simply for discovering movement ideas for characters. Try

being led by your stomach, your little toe, your knee, your back and so on.

Learning Objectives:To develop physical movement

To cooperate in group work

Age Group: 6+

Participants: Whole group

One Word Stories

1

2

3

4

5


In a circle, the story is started, with each person in turn adding one word. It usually starts with Once upon a

time. The idea is to keep your thoughts free flowing, so that you dont try to guess what is coming or force the

story in a particular direction. It is rare that the story makes a great deal of sense, although it is always amusing.

If the group is too large, break into smaller groups.

Another variation is to throw or roll a ball around the circle in any order. Add your word as you pass the ball to the next person. This ensures that people are more attentive; although you should make sure everyone is included.

Try playing the game in pairs, where both participants act the story out as it is told. In this case, tell the story in

the present tense and as we. For example, We are climbing a mountain. Look a giant spider

coming towards us. Quickrun! You can soon create an adventure story in this way. You can also use the

one word at a time technique to create characters made up of two or more people great fun for interview

scenes!

Learning Objectives: To encourage creativityTo develop listening and storytelling skillsTo cooperate in group work

Age Group: 7+Participants: Whole group, small groups or pairsRecommended time for activity: 10-20 minutes

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

SPLAT!

Directions:

Okay everyone form a circle around me.

Join your hands together and make a fake gun, like this (fingers point, thumbs link)

Okay, the aim of this game is to shoot each other, like this Splat!

Okay, you got it. Now if I point at someone in the circle, I will say Splat! that person will need to

duck down because those on either side are going to shoot each other with their splat guns.

If you dont duck fast enough, youll be splatted and out of the game.

If you dont draw your gun quick enough, youll be spatted and out of the game.

At the end of the game: The Splat Off!

When the game gets down to two, what we need to do is have a Splat Off!

This requires the players to go back to back and choose a fruit each.

The players walk away from each other and I will call out a list of fruit, every fruit = take a step.

If I mention either fruit, that is the signal to turn around and shoot.

Ten Second Objects

This is a very popular drama game and a useful technique which

can be developed easily towards improvisation or physical theatre.

It's also highly accessible and great fun!

Divide everyone into small groups (4-6). Call out the name of an

object and all the groups have to make the shape of that object out

of their own bodies, joining together in different ways while you

count down slowly from ten to zero. Usually every group will find

a different way of forming the object. Examples could be: a car, a

fried breakfast, a clock, a washing machine, a fire.

(A peacock created in ten seconds at thePrimary Drama INSET

Day)

Learning Objectives:

To encourage creativity

To develop physical awareness

To develop cooperation in group work

Age Group: 6+

Participants: Small groups


Develop the Activity:

Encourage groups to think about using different levels with their body shapes, eg high, medium and low.

You could choose objects from a play you are rehearsing or a theme you are exploring (see the drama

lesson on Evacuees).

Groups can also be given a couple of minutes to devise an object of their own which the rest of the class

try to guess.

You could make it a rule that after 10 seconds they must be completely frozen in position.

On the other hand it can be fun if they are able to make objects that use movement.

You can use the shapes created as a quick way into creating ideas for physical theatre.

A psychological but fun group dynamics game fromAugusto Boal. There should be no talking until the exercise

is over. The group sits or stands in a circle and closes their eyes. The leader tells them that one person will be

selected by a tap on the shoulder. The leader walks around the whole circle, then asks the group to open their

eyes. The group members must look around and try to guess who was chosen. They are asked to rememberwho they decided upon but not to reveal it at this point.

The game is repeated. When everybody has finished looking round, the leader asks them, on the count of three,

without talking, to point at the person they thought was chosen the first time. Everybody points. Now, they do the

same again for the second time.

Afterwards, members are asked what it was that led them to choose a particular person, for example, the facial

expression that person had. Then, on a signal, they are asked to put up their hands if they were touched the first

time. They discover that no one was touched the first time. They are asked to do the same for the second time.

The group discover that they were all touched the second time. There is only one liar the workshop leader!

Learning Objectives: To develop better group dynamicsTo develop observation skills

Age Group: 11+
