Task 7. Pass The Clap
Pass The Clap is an energizing theater game where participants pass applause around a circle. To play this game, participants gather in a circle. The leader starts the clap, and other players take turns clapping in a clockwise direction until the leader makes the final clap. You can play this game in other variations. For instance, the participants can start the clap slowly and gradually increase the tempo over several rounds.
Task 8. Drama-Freeze
Drama-Freeze is one of the most interesting theater games for small groups. Here is how to play Drama-Freeze:


Pair the participants into teams of two. The first team spontaneously acts a random scene without discussing the scene beforehand. While the two participants are acting, the supervisor of the game can call “freeze” anytime. Once the supervisor says “freeze,” the acting team must remain still. Then another team of two participants will take over the positions of the previous participants. Once the supervisor says “action,” the new team in the freeze position takes the drama up from there. However, the new participants must spontaneously come up with a scene entirely different from the one acted by the previous participants. Other teams also take turns to play in the same manner It is not compulsory to group the participants in twos. The supervisor can randomly call out any two participants to play the game. However, all participants get to play before the game ends.
