Theatresports Games1. Action CircleTwo pupils start the action (speaking (acting) and moving it is like a little play). The adjudicator or audience can stop this action at any time by calling STOP. The 2 actors must then freeze. Another participant must then take the place of the 1st person who started the action. Number 1 goes out and number 3 starts in exactly the same bodily statue that 1 left. Number 3 now starts another little play (which has nothing to do with first play) with number 2 until someone says STOP. Now number 2 will exit and number 4 will take his place. And so forth. 2) Complaint Desk 2 desk attendants, 1 customer.The customer is returning an item. He/She does not know what the item is or what is wrong with it. The attendants ask questions to give the customer clues. The game ends when the customer has guessed both the item and the problem.From the audience: A product, what is wrong with it? 3) Choose Your Own Adventure1 Storyteller, Various ActorsThe Storyteller narrates a story which the Actors perform.
