Musical Improv Games - Musical 8 Things

Picture

Good for:

Letting words tumble out without judgement, keeping the brain moving, laughing. ​Backing Track

Method:

  • Music starts - this can be the version on the backing track or anything at all!
  • Person 1 hears the music and is inspired to suggest a category to Person 2, eg. "Give me, 8 things you'd find on the moon"
  • Person 2 sings 8 things in that category with the rest of the group singing "One, thing, two things" in between each one.
  • Person 1 - "rocks"
  • All - "One thing"
  • Person 1 - "Aliens"
  • All -"two things"
  • Person 1 - "Cheese"
  • etc.
  • At the finale everyone sings '8 Things' in triumphant Musical Theatre style

Tips:

  • Instead of the ensemble singing 'one thing...' they could try singing the category instead 'moon stuff...'
  • Present the piece like it is in a Musical
  • Really support the soloist with eye contact and choreography
  • Keep on singing!  If you get stuck then repeat, make up words, do a dance - anything.
