This is a short-form game for 6 players.
Setup
The players form 3 pairs and take up 3 parts of the stage (left, centre, right).
Each pair is given a different suggestion from the audience (so three total suggestions). These three suggestions will represent the three scenes that the pairs will be playing.
One pair starts a scene. When another pair wants to play, they must clap. The scene in progress must immediately stop, and the pair that clapped now steps forward and starts (or resumes, if they had already started a scene) their scene.
The only rule is that the first line after the clap has to be the same as the last line before the clap. When a pair claps in, the old one returns to their spot (left, right, centre).
Example
1A: I don't like dogs. 1B: I agree with you.
2A claps, enters the scene, and Pair 1 moves to the back. 2A: I agree with you. We should get married. 2B: Married! I just wanted a vacation.
3A claps, enters the scene, and Pair 2 moves to the back. 3A: I just wanted a vacation. Why did you have to bring your mother?!
And so on...
Learning Objectives
This is a game about listening and drawing inspiration.
Tips
As time goes on, the claps should be more and more frequent.
Variations
It is possible to put a bell in the centre of the stage so that the players that want to take focus must ring the bell to take it.
