    This improvisation game has students act out characters on a pretend bus to practice accepting others' ideas and performing spontaneously. Students each take a seat on the pretend bus and one acts as the driver. When the bus stops, another student gets on as a character with a clear trait and the other passengers must adopt that persona in their dialogue and actions until all students are onboard, at which point the game ends. The goal is to collaboratively build short scenes without preparation by responding creatively to others' suggestions.

    On the bus

    10 minutes 8+ Inclusive mobility

    This improvisation game focuses on character and ensemble


    performing 'in the moment'. Students need to accept another student’s
    'offer' and enter their imaginary world.

    · Set up chairs to resemble a bus, allowing a seat for each student in the group.
    · One student is chosen to be the bus driver. Other students think of a character with a
    clearly defined attitude, emotion or character trait e.g., angry the bus is late; just been
    dumped by their girlfriend; finds everything hilarious etc. They must make it clear
    through actions and dialogue what their character trait is.
    · The bus drives though the town and stops to pick up passengers. At each stop a
    student, in role as their chosen character, gets on the bus.

    · The driver and the other passengers all adopt this character’s attitude, emotion or
    trait, and their dialogue and physicality should reflect this.
    · The game ends when all the students/passengers are on the bus and the bus driver
    shouts, 'End of the line; all change here!'
