A great focus warm up for drama - students work together to popcorn numbers in sequence, using non verbal communication.
How to play popcorn
Players:
-
This is a whole class drama game. It is best played with medium to large groups and is played in a circle.
How to play this drama focus game:
-
The aim of the game is to get the whole class standing.
-
If the activity is taking too long, record the high score and try to beat it another time.
-
Students sit silently in a circle.
-
Students must randomly stand up whilst saying a consecutive number in the sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 so on).
-
If two students stand and say a number at the same, everyone must sit down and start at number 1 again.
-
The game requires the class to cooperate and use non verbal communication to achieve their goal (no talking other than the popcorn numbers).
-
The class cannot work around the circle. It must be random.
Extension:
-
When two students speak a number at the same time, the whole class
should try to clap in unison before starting again.
