This
improv game is in the following improv game categories:
Whoosh
Description
Everybody in a circle. Start with one person, who waves both
hands to his/her neighbor, saying `Whoosh`. The next person
passes the Whoosh to his neighbor, and that way the Whoosh is
passed around the circle.
There`s 4 other sounds/movements that can be made.
-
`Wow`: indicated by saying Wow, and moving both arms down. A
Wow changes the direction of the Whoosh
-
`Zap`: instead of passing the Whoosh to your neighbor, it gets
zapped to the person you point to. The receiver continues
with either a Whoosh to his neighbor, or another Zap to
another person. A Wow after a Zap returns to the Zapper.
-
`Groooooooovelicious`: for this one the whole group bends down and
up again in a kinda groovy way, all saying Groooooooovelicious.
Afterwards, the person who started the Groovelicious sets the Whoosh
in motion again, in any direction.
-
`Freakout`: indicated by waving both hands in the air. Everybody starts
screaming and moves to the center of the circle. When everybody`s freaked
out a new circle is formed, and the starter of the Freakout sets the Whoosh
in motion again (or Zaps, or does a Grooooooovelicious).
Variations
You can invent other sounds and gestures. You might replace Whoosh by a kind
of Vroom-Vroom, as is you`re in a car, and replace Wow by the sounds of brakes
(`iiiii`) etc.
Also known as
Zip Zap Zoop.
