Opposites

Description

Let the players walk around the room in silence. Ask them how they would classify themselves:

• high or low Status
• loud or silent
• caring or careless
• strong or weak
• tall or small
• secure or insecure
• clumsy or perfect
• happy or sad
• introvert or extravert
• basically anything that would be a character trait

Then ask them to imagine they are exactly the opposite of all these character traits. Ask them to move about like such a character. Then play scenes in which the players `become` the opposites of their own characters.
