Action Syllables

Description

Great warm-up that also helps a new group to learn each other's names.

Everyone in a circle. First person says his name, making a gesture (an action) for every syllable. Mary has 2 syllables, so she does something like "Ma-" (wave right hand) "-ry" (claps in hands). Everyone repeats this. Then the second person calls his name, again with a gesture per syllable. Group repeats, and then repeats all previous names and syllables.

 

When in doubt, seduce --- Elaine May
