Drama Games: Numbers
Drama Games Home | Module 2 Home | Unit B Home
Aim and Purpose
- Concentrative development.
- Listening skills.
- Team building
Materials/Resources
- None.
Order of Activity
- The group stands in the circle.
- Give each player a number in chronological order. (1 - as many players as you have)
- Players call out the number of another player when they have had their number called.
Example:
PLAYER #1: Number 3!
PLAYER #3: Number 7!
PLAYER #7:Number 9!
...and so on.
- If anyone hesitates, calls their own number or calls the number of someone who is out, they are then out and must sit down.
- When a player is "out" then their number is considered "retired" so if a player calls it, they are out too.
Notes on the Game
- This sounds relatively simple, but it gets quite complicated, especially when players start getting out and everyone has to remember and concentrate on who's been "retired".
- It is surprising how hard it can be for a group to just call out numbers!
Extensions to the Game
- Numbers can be replaced by Names if you want to play this as an introductory game.
- Historic names, events, dates of facts can be used instead of numbers.
