What are some fun theater games for kids?

Question

I am a counselor at a local theater camp and i need some ideas for theater games. I need something fun and simple a lot of kids can play.

Answer 1

Cast photo.  You've probably seen them in the theater section of the newspaper where a bunch of people pose in an advertisement.  You won't even need costumes, but you will probably need a camera (or a fake one as it is theater).

You can have the kids pose to advertise:

Annie

The Bad News Bears

Cats

The Jungle Book

Footloose

School of Rock

Answer 2

You mean like acting?  At my camp they had an improv. class and they had this thing called the oracle.  A few kids line up and the rest of the kids ask question like: Why is the sky blue?  not What is my mom's name or trivia like that.  The first person in the line says 1 word.  The answer could be this: Because the little blue men make it like that.  With each kid in the line saying 1 word.  It's really fun!!  I hope this was what you were asking :p
