- 2Play 'Freeze Tag': Two people start a scene; anyone can yell 'Freeze!', tag a character out, and take their exact physical position, starting a brand new scene based on that posture.
- 3Play 'Scene Starters': Pick cards with prompts and perform a 3-minute scene based on the card, focusing on agreement and building on partners' ideas.
- 4Rotate roles so every participant gets to perform and contribute equally.
