Drama and Acting

In the busy and often noisy drama classroom, it is very useful to have some handy cues to get the attention of your students.

1) FREEZE! Students freeze like statues and have to remain perfectly still until told to RELAX or MELT. When your students relax they are to listen for the next instruction.

2) Ring a Bell/Blow a Whistle. Again this means stop what you are doing, look at me and listen to what I have to say.

3) Clap Hands. Decide on how many claps you wish to you. Maybe 2 claps to gain attention and 3 to form an audience for example.
