Giants, Wizards and Gnomes

In this game, all your players are divided into two equal teams. Two lines should be drawn in the middle of the room creating a small buffer space between the two teams sides. Two lines should also be placed on wither side of the room marking the safe zones for each team. Each team secretly decide as a group whether to be Giants, Wizards or Gnomes. The teams meet at the buffer zone and on the count of three act out what they are. Giants put their hands up and growl, Wizards put their hands out and say magical sounding things, Gnomes make little horns with their pointer fingers and make gnome-like sounds. Giants beat gnomes, Gnomes beat Wizards and Wizards beat Giants. Whichever team is the winning team chases the other team as the loosing team races to get to their safe zone. If any of the loosing team is caught they must join the other side. Each team picks a new character and play continues.

Machine

One participant starts the game with a simple action and sound that they can repeat over and over. One at a time, the remaining participants add on to the first person with various parts of a machine all consisting of a sound and motion. The goal is to both be unique and work together as you operate your machine.

Groups

In this game the leader calls out a category such as favorite food, favorite color, shoe size, etc. The participants then walk around the room calling out their favorite color, favorite food, shoe size, or whatever fits in the chosen category and search for like minded people. When a player meets a person with the same answer as themselves they hook arms and continue searching for others like them till everyone has found their groups. This is a laid back way for large groups to find common denominators and get to know each other.

Refrigerator Dance

This game is targeted to the younger set, but is fun for anyone. One person plays music and stands facing away from everyone else while they dance like their favorite foods in a giant imaginary refrigerator. When that person stops the music and turns around everyone must freeze. Anyone who the leader catches moving pretends to eat that "food" (which eliminates that food from the game), shuts the fridge door and resumes the music.

Energy Ball

The participants stand in a circle and one person starts with the energy ball, an invisible energy force that can be transformed into anything. That person creates an object from the energy ball silently but clearly so that the other participants can tell what they are making. When that person finishes their creation, they may either smash it down and toss it to another person in the circle or pass the object as you would if it were real. The person who receives that object then creates a new object and play continues until everyone has had a turn. At the end everyone tries to guess what each person made.

Thirty-Ten-Thirty

In this game the leader gives the participants a scene to act out, usually one that involves some type of deadline such as getting ready to go to the movies or setting up for a party. The first time they are told that they have 30 minutes to complete the activity. The leader should only allow the scene to go for a couple minutes at most. The participants are then instructed to act out the scene again but as if they only have 10 minutes to complete the task. Again they should be stopped before the 10 minutes elapses. The participants then perform the scene a final time as if they only have 30 seconds.

Tagline

A certain number of actors are selected as the performers while every one else (or the audience) writes down various phrases on slips of paper. The slips are distributed among the performers and they begin improvising a scene. At various points throughout the scene, they must open their slips of paper and insert whatever is written on it as the next line of dialogue.
