7-8 th Grade Core Career Connections Improv games and explanations (Please remember, these titles are those used by “Quick Wits” and the same game may go by another name somewhere else). A to Z – 2 player The object of this game is that each player begins his/her line with an agreed upon letter of the alphabet and then the next player begins their line with the next letter and so on. You can begin with any letter and you may also do it one word at a time as well. Accents – 2 player The object of this game is to put the players in a conversational situation like a date or shopping. They begin in regular accents and then have to change their accents as the MC calls them out. It’s good for the audience too, because they can give suggestions for the accents. Action Figures – 2 player and 2 audience member Two players are brought out onstage and they stand frozen. Two audience members are called up to stand behind the players. The players are only allowed to move as the audience members pose them. They have to carry on a scene while being posed like Barbie dolls. Between the Lines – 3 player Two of the players are given some kind of books to read from. (The easiest are scene books although we have used anything from dictionaries to fix it books)! They can only read lines from a page picked at random from their books. The person in the middle speaks normally and has to “glue” it together and they all make a scene that makes sense. Crocodile Hunter – 3 player This is a new game we have come up with based on the popular cable show. One person (with a convincing Australian accent) is the Crocodile guy and one plays his wife, Terry. They are on a mission to go into the wildlife and capture a….That’s where the third guy comes in. He plays whatever the audience says they should capture. But he isn’t an animal he is an everyday guy like a librarian or a Teacher or Doctor, etc. So the two hunters capture him and show us all in the audience how it’s done. Dating Game – 4 player Three of the players are dating game contestants and one is looking for a date. The dateless one is sent from the room and the audience chooses something crazy for the three contestants to be like drunk, an ex husband, a circus clown etc. When they have chosen, the dateless guy comes back in and must guess who they are with the dating game questions he asks. Emotions – 2 player Two players are put into an everyday occurrence like returning something to a store. They start of normally and then they must act out different emotions as the MC calls them out. draft copy 5
