Em Workshop Activities

play tug of war with imaginary rope with partners (or whole team)

Players get in groups of three and form a “house” with the end players raising their arms in a “roof” above the inside players. There are three commands that cause the players to move:

One player 'sculpts' another player like clay

One player creates obstacles that a second player must navigate

Whole group forms silent sculpture and then steps out with their takeaways

Partners give gifts to each other. Receiver is delighted to receive the gift.

Players call out the wrong name for objects

in pairs people enthusiastically create new idioms

A category is created and one person gives 5 things in that category. 

Sounds are tossed around the group as if they are physical objects. 

Pass a sound & motion, repeating only what was shared with you

10 seconds for the group to form a group 'snapshot' tableau
