Musical Improv Games - Set up Song

Picture

Good for:

Listening and rhyming as a group.

Method:

  • 5 players in a line
  • A topic is suggested eg. "trees"
  • 1st person sings a line that "sets up" the 2nd person to complete, eg:
  • Player 1-VERSE 1-<setup>: This mighty tree is known to all folk
  • 2nd person completes the rhyme, eg:
  • Player 2: <complete>: And so it should be, the wondrous oak
  • 2nd person sets up the 3rd person, eg:
  • Player 2: <setup>: If you chop it down you'll earn some cash
  • Player 3: <complete>: But please dont, it's rare the ash.
  • Player 5: CHORUS
  • Player 3-VERSE 2-<setup>: 
  • Player 4 - <complete>
  • Player 4 - <setup>
  • Player 1 - <complete>
  • All: CHORUS
  • Bow to stunned applause

Tips:

  • This seems very complicated in structure at first, but stick with it for the gold
  • As always, a great opportunity to YES AND anything that your song partner throws at you
