Clasp the hands together in front of the chest. Vigorously shake the hands forward and back so that it causes the entire torso to shake. Keeping the throat and face relaxed, release a sound that shakes with the body.
Two speaking players stand on either side of a listening player. The speaking players each tell the listener a different story, one speaking in the right ear, the other to the left ear. After one minute, the listener recalls as much of each story as possible.
Below are some tongue twisters that can be used to warm up vocal articulation. These (and more) can be found in the Gimme Getter app.
Open the mouth as wide as possible. Run the tongue around the circumference of the lips in one direction, then in the other direction.
While listening to another player (or talk radio or a podcast), repeat the words that are spoken a few seconds after they’ve been said.
Players mingle as though they were guests at a party. When players encounter each other, they introduce themselves with a fictional first and last name. There is a brief conversation, then players move on to meet someone else. After five minutes of mingling, players see how many character names they can remember.
Two players become black knights, standing on one side of the room. The other players all become white knights and stand on the opposite side. The black knights call out, “Knights move!” The white knights all make a knight’s move—one step forward or back and two steps to either side, or two steps forward or back and one step to either side. Then the white knights call out, “Knights move!” and the black knights make their knight’s move. After making the move, black knights touch anyone within reach, turning them into black knights. This pattern repeats until white knights have reached the other side of the room or have been turned into black knights.
While making a neutral sound, stretch the face and mouth as big as possible. Then scrunch it down as small as possible. Continue to alternate between being expansive and being compressed.
Players work in pairs. The first player throws an energy pulse from a part of the body. The second player receives the energy with the same part of the body. The energy then travels to another part of the body and is thrown from there. The first player catches the energy in the corresponding body part. This energy exchange process continues.
