101 Drama Games and Activities

Age: 5 to adult
Players: Whole Group
Time: 10 minutes
Tags: Mime, Improvisation

Develop imagination and mime skills using everyday objects.

Pass any easy-to-handle object around the circle – or place it in the centre – for example a shoe, a scarf or a bottle. Each person uses it in turn – changing it into a different object each time.

It can be anything – apart from what it really is!

Director’s Tips

  • Other members of the group can step into the improvisation so that a short scene develops.
  • Try doing it to music!
