Theatre Education: A Resource of Practical and Project-Based Warm-ups/Theatre Games for K-12

Pass the Sound and Movement

Where we learned it: Acting class in high school
Ages: 4th grade and up
Materials: None

Process:

1. Stand in a circle.
2. One person initiates a sound and a movement and passes them to the person on her right.
3. The person on the right copies the sound and movement and passes them to the right.
4. The sound and movement continues around the circle until it comes back to the person who started it.
5. The person who started it repeats her sound and movement.
6. Then the person on her right changes it to a new sound and movement, which gets passed around the circle.
7. Continue this pattern until everyone has had the chance to initiate a sound and movement.
