This improv game is in the following improv game categories:
Description
Ask the audience for animals. Players play a scene, in which the characters are based on these
animals.
Notes
Players do not `become` the animals, they only take over characteristics of the animals.
Characteristics may be physical, vocal or
Status based. For example, `chicken` might
ninspire a player to a cowardly character, moving about jerkily.
Also known as Totems. - this can be played as an exercise: write totem names on
slips of paper. Give every player a totem before they play a scene. You can
extend the animal name; make it more specific. Play with things like
Bald Eagle rather than Eagle; or Silver Moon, Sitting Bull, etc.
