Drama Game: Two-Headed Monster

Type: Improv, Creativity

Purpose: A simple game that helps kids work together and be creative at the same time.

Procedure:

• Ask two students to take the stage and link arms.
• They are now a two-headed monster.
• As a two-headed monster, they talk in one-word turns, keeping the same personality.
• Ask the class for a suggestion of an “object” or “place”.
• The monster must tell a story about that object or place, making it up as they go along.

NOTES:

• Encourage the students to tell a story that has a beginning, middle and end.
• Encourage the students to make a strong physical and character choice for their monster.
• The “two-headed monster” can be used within any other improv activity.

VARIATION:

• Instead of alternating word for word, the students from syllables and words at the same time.
• Consider trying a “three-headed” monster after the kids have become familiar with the activity.
