Drama and Acting

This is great for exploring voice modulation and inflextions.

Sit in a circle. Take some gibberish EG ‘Poddiguy Chicka Cha’ and ask your students to take it in turn to use the gibberish to ask a question to someone else in the class and for them to give an answer, still using the gibberish. The class must listen and try and evaluate what emotion is linked to the question and answer (angry, bored, excited, etc.)

Extension: Work in pairs still using the gibberish but this time they will have time to improvise and rehearse a scene to try and make it clear exactly what is happened and being said through the aid of action, body language and facial expression.
