Musical Improv Games - Hoedown

Picture

Good for:

Faster than thought rhyming. Keeping up with the music.  Embracing failure. Embracing failure. Embracing failure.

Method:

  • This is usually sung to a set tune. Backing track here (short intro) or here (long intro)
  • This exercise can be done one line at a time between four people, or a whole four-line verse each
  • A subject is taken from the audience
  • The rhyme structure is usually AABB and players often try to finish with a joke, innuendo or pun
  • When everyone is done the whole group can sing the final line together
  • Watch the 'Whose Line' crew performing the hoedown here

Tips:

  • When all the words come out in the wrong order, continue to smile, laugh and sing.
  • Try planning your entire verse, or just the rhymes at the end of each line
  • Set yourself up for a gag at the end
  • If all else fails, mime your own demise.
