ACTING GAME
FOR AGES 7-12
AGE GAME
1) Start
with students finding a partner and sitting for instructions.
2) Tell
students that each pair must choose the same age to perform, between one and
one hundred years, this age must be kept secret.
3) Pairs
that are ready raise their hands. Ask each pair of actors to whisper their age
to you, before the scene begins.
4) Begin
each turn by saying, “And action!”
Allow each pair to act for a few moments then say, “FREEZE!”
5) Ask
students in the audience to raise their hands to guess the age being performed.
If the correct age is higher than the age guessed, tell the class, “higher.” If
the correct age is lower than the age guessed, tell the class, “lower.”
6) When the
correct age is guessed, actors bow, the audience applauds, and the next pair
has a turn.
Note:
Each pair performs a short scene, so remind the audience to remain quiet and
polite until the “FREEZE!” cue is given.
7) After
each pair has had a turn, ask to students switch partners, choose a new age,
and begin again.
