Material things
You will need a smallish piece of material for this game (Or some object that has no meaning that can be changed to represent any object [or person or animal]…. I have found that a piece of material works best, however you might think of something better…)
 Each student takes in turn to think about what object they can turn the piece of material into and then they proceed to act out a short piece whilst the rest of the class is to guess what the piece of material represents.Â
Eg: student wraps the piece of material into a oblong type shape and cradles it in their arms whilst coo-ing or singing baby songs.
To make this game just a little bit harder, ask the students to act out the piece with no spoken words.
Well that’s one of my games…..Â

Thanks Melanie. Yep good exercise for transformation of object. Could also be done in groups. I’ve done othe exercise where a group is given a length of fabric and in telling a story they have to use the fabric to represent (be symbolic of) several different things within that story.
Also we camn make the links to use of props/objects in Growtovski’s Poor Theatre
