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

Status

Where we learned it: Acting class at NU
Ages: 6th grade and up
Materials: Deck of playing cards

Process:

1. The point of the game is to find out what card is stuck to your forehead.
2. Each student will place a card on her forehead facing outward.
3. Then the students walk around the room, interacting with one another as they would if the numbers on the cards indicated level of popularity, social class, etc.
4. Ask the students to line up in order of what they think is on their cards (Twos are low, Aces high).
5. Discuss the exercise and its implications.
