My group loves to play a game which we call "What are you doing there?". It goes like this:

Setup:

  • A small stage, on which one or two people play
  • The rest of the group watches them in a half circle
  • People can enter the stage from one side of the circle. Another person then leaves the stage from the other side

So the whole group rotates in a circle through the stage.


A person starts doing something on stage, for example playing the violin in pantomime.

Then the person next in line steps up from the audience, and asks the signature question: "What are you doing there?". Person A responds with something different, for example: "I'm reading a book.", and leaves the stage. Person B now reads a book in pantomime until asked by person C.


As always, many variants are possible. Recently, we mostly played the group variant, where two (or three) people are on stage simultaneously, playing a scene including words.
