- STEP 1: Gather the class together in a circle and provide them with a topic (i.e.: Over the summer, I. .. )
- STEP 2: The next person adds just one sentence. The person seated next to them must provide an additional sentence related to the first sentence (whether it applied to them or not).
- STEP 3: This continues until everyone has added a sentence about the topic that builds on the sentences previously provided.
- STEP 4: Do the activity again but this time, limit each person’s answer to just one word instead of one sentence.
- STEP 5: Repeat steps 1-4 but substitute a musical sound or rhythm in place of the word.
- STEP 6: You can record this activity and even turn it into a rap or song by allowing students to use the mixing tools found on either Garageband (Mac), Audacity (Windows), or other recording software. The speed of this improvisation is what makes it challenging. You never know what the person before you will say, so there is no way to prepare. You need to work quickly, but creativity, at the same time.
