What Games are right when?

[Jessica]

So the Flying Theater Machine is about to take off again on the 13th. We need some new games/scenes to add to our set list.

A: What are good high energy but low audience participation games for show starting? (eg. slo mo race)

B: What are good scene based games that have a little audience participation, but not much?

C: What are good games/scenes games that have high audience participation?

D: What are some good high energy games to end the show - preferably with lots of audience participation? (Like we did dance diamond and invited the audience on stage to dance with us.)

Don't worry about being kid friendly - we can usually change things around to make that work.

Thanks
Jessica

I'll list some games if I think of some, but I just wanted to suggest that you grab a copy of the Theatresports Handbook from the Hideout green room. It's full of games. improvencyclopedia.org is great, too.

1. Low Audience High Energy
Dolphin Training - where a player is sent out and an activity is gotten from the audience that the other players must get him to do. The audience participates by constantly letting him know if he is getting close to it.

2. Any scenes where you give the audience multiple choices as to what could happen next.

3. People as Props - Bring two kids on stage and ask them to play all objects that are mentioned in the course of the scene. Fun for them. Fun for the kids to watch.
