What are fun theater games for seven and eight year olds?

Question

I am currently volunteering at a youth theater camp and would like to know some fun games that seven and eight year olds would enjoy and can learn. Also not the game janitor, the kids i am dealing with love that game, but I want to teach them something new. thanks in advance : )

Answer 1

lol well in my class, we did one that were quite fun:

its called "atoms" where everyone is an atom (and make them GOOD atoms! even if they're just spinning in a circle, its still an atom). a person (the teacher) then calls "ATOM #" (and for # you can put whatever number). then everyone has to join a group with that many atoms in it. so for example, if you called "atom 4" groups would only have 4 kids.

hope this helps :)

ok im going to tell you this one cuz it was a big hit at my theatre camp its called little sally walker. you sing little sally walker walking down the street she didn't know what to do so she stopped infront of me and said hey girl do your thing do your thing and switch hey girl do your thing do your thing and switch. while you sing this be in a big cirlce and have like two kids in the middle skipping around  when you do stop infront of me they stop and dance in front of you and then you switch places and copy the dance. its fun until they become obsessed with it we ended up having to tell them that sally was sick lol email me for more [e-mail]
