Write the names of several movies on thin strips of paper. Make sure the movies are modern enough that the kids would have seen them. Fold these strips in half and insert one into each of the balloons. Inflate the balloons and tie off the ends. When the game begins, one child will choose a balloon, pop it and act out a silent scene from that movie. The child who guesses the movie correctly will be the next performer.
A short one-minute skit is performed before the audience. When the skit is over, the audience members get to change the skit by suggesting that they do the skit faster, slower or as Miley Cyrus or some other celebrity. Other changes might include performing the skit in the style of a sci-fi movie, a romantic movie or a slasher film. This will test the acting prowess of all the participants.
Two kids in the group will be the "Jokers," while the rest of the group will be the "Immovable Bovine" and will lie on their backs on the ground. The idea is that the Jokers, through a funny skit or joke must make one of the bovines laugh without touching them. The first one who laughs becomes a Joker. The game continues until there are only two "Immovable Bovines" left.
Each child is allowed to pick through a box of ridiculous props. These may include feather boas, traffic cones, toilet seats or any other odd item. Each participant must come up with a 10-second skit using the prop in some way. If a child cannot think of an improvisation skit using that prop, he must surrender it to another participant. Kids can cooperate and combine to perform a skit with two or three props, but they cannot repeat a skit another child has performed.
In this skit game one person is the odd guy out and acts as the "host" of the dinner party. Three other children are given a description on a card, like "You are a Martian looking for love." Or "You are a clumsy murderer." They show up at the party acting out the description on their card until the "host" guesses what they are imitating. Once he is correct, that dinner guest sits out the rest of the game until the host guesses each person's role.
