TARGET: SEC: Drama Improvisation Games / Charades

[Barbara Braxton <barbara@DYNAMITE.COM.AU>]

Hi everyone,
My closest friend is making the move to middle school and Year 7 (12/13
year olds) this year, after working with 5-8 year olds for the last three
years.  One of her many strengths is to put the fun into learning and meld
the class together into a team through the performing arts and she is
looking for ideas for 5 minute drama/ improvisation activities, preferably
on a website rather than a publication. She wants enough to be able to pop
them in as a regular activity just before the recess and lunch breaks.

We have spent hours searching the 'net using all sorts of search terms, but
have only found one site, and a search of Blue Web'n did not yield what she
wanted.  Can you help us please?

Years ago I remember watching a television program where the contestants
did charades and there were a set of basic 'instructions' that all knew to
indicate book, music, movie title, number of words/ syllables, etc.  For
instance, tugging your ear meant 'sounds like'.  Charades is not a big
thing here, but it would be a great activity for these kids, so if anyone
can send me  the details of the 'instructions', I will pass these on to
Kate.

Alternatively, email her directly at smiffy@dynamite.com.au

Thanks so much,
Cheers
Barbara
