Hope this takes off. These videos should make currency. Why did I never have anyone like him in my school life?.

[@CrusherHF]

Ah the memories are flooding back in

[@judichristopher4604]

YES.... Great Memories... I agree.

[@Maryamyourish]

Great game! This is my first time being a teacher! And a drama teacher, to elementary/ middle schoolers! I love this game will try it with them

[@DramaMenu]

Good luck in your first term as a teacher... I hope the games prove useful :).

[@roberthanlen6036]

Nice game - various ways to play it but it's vital that you justify the position you find yourself in at the start rather than simply breaking from that into a totally new scene.

[@DramaMenu]

Absolutely,… that is the name of the game! I’m so glad you like the exercise and I think this version works well for encouraging maximum participation.

[@judichristopher4604]

OMGosh this brings back great memories in Drama... Love this video... "Hello" from a Drama Mama turned Acting Director from New Mexico USA... I love all your videos... "Bravo Darlings, Bravo"

[@DramaMenu]

Oh, this is such a lovely message! A big "hello" right back at you! Thank you for the double 'bravo'!!

[@raghavgite8811]

What a game,, Thankyou

We've been playing this game a bit different. When someone says freeze He/she have to decide one of the characters on the stage and replace position with him/her.

[@DramaMenu]

I tweaked it a bit to make it more inclusive and ensure maximum participation... the classic version can often be dominated by the more confident/creative players in the group whereas, this ensures that everyone gets to have a go :)

[@judichristopher4604]

Exactly... that is how we did it in Drama too... So much fun.

[@judichristopher4604]

@@DramaMenu I agree... besides more students can act twice as fast! Great Idea.

I played this with my Drama Class! Almost got in trouble because I decided to make an implied swear word joke 😅

Hey Glyn, Thanks to all your videos, I am from India and I have bought Drama Menu . It’s a great compilation of all the games but sometimes the description of some of the games are confusing, as I’m unable to picture the exact physical forms of the games. Can you please help me with this? Where and how can I ask my doubts regarding the book?

[@DramaMenu]

If you'd like to email any questions to [e-mail]; I will try my best to help :)! Best wishes, Glyn

[@bangalorecomedian-kishorey4080]

@@DramaMenu Thank you! This helps. I will get back to you through an email :-)

Doing a double is fine but there seems to be a lot rejecting of offers instead of just saying "YES" and accepting. While successful freeze games can succeed with questions and rejections, it is really throwing a spanner in the Improvisational works. Do you ever get around to adding CROW exchanges-Character/ relationship/ objective and where elements? Really nice work otherwise.

[@Kekobeko123]

I’d to know how is this exercise important when it comes to a real play ?

[@DramaMenu]

This exercise is all about staying aware, alert, in the moment and focused. If a player loses focus, more often then not they will be 'out'! So, it encourages players to remain poised, ready and switched-on at all times. Lots to incorporate into a 'real play' I would think :).

[@Kekobeko123]

Thank u so much
