1. Freeze Tag

• Divide the participants into pairs and have them stand in a circle.
• Start a scene with two volunteers, based on a simple scenario.
• At any point, another participant can yell “freeze!” and tap one of the actors.
• The tagged actor freezes in position, and the one who called “freeze” takes their place, starting a new scene based on their body position.
• Continue the cycle, encouraging creativity and quick thinking.

2. Build It Up

• Ask participants to form small groups of three to five people.
• Each group starts with the same simple scene.
• After a few minutes, ask each group to take turns adding a line or action to the scene, building on what was previously established.
• Encourage creativity, cohesion, and adaptability as the scene develops into something entirely unexpected!

3. Party Quirks

• Select one participant to be the host of a fictional party.
• Provide the host with a specific quirk that they must maintain throughout the game, such as being afraid of bananas or speaking only in rhymes.
• The other participants act as guests, and their goal is to guess each other’s quirks. They can only ask yes-or-no questions to uncover the quirks.
• After a certain time, reveal the quirks and allow the participants to exchange roles.

4. Questions Only

• Divide the participants into pairs and ask them to face each other.
• The rule for this game is simple: participants are only allowed to speak in questions.
• They must try to have a conversation while asking and answering questions back and forth.
• If a participant fails to ask a question or makes a statement instead, they lose, and their partner takes over.
• Encourage participants to be creative and spontaneous with their questions!
