Actors stand in a circle. Someone steps into circle to introduce a sound and a movement; everyone imitates; another person enters from the circle to take over and introduce another sound and movement.

Statues:
Four students are on stage. One of the students is the sculptor who "sculpts" the other actors in various humorous sculpture like poses. When the "sculptor" is finished, the sculptures become alive and begin a  scene based on the poses of their sculptures. They cannot move out of the poses.

Then they broke into two casts and created improv-compositions. They were given an outline that included a list of theatrical and script elements that they had to incorporate into a Seven-Scene Story.  These were:

Zombie Apocalypse Love-Triangle created & performed by Christian F., Royer, Chynna, & Cynthia

I was really very impressed with the stories that they came up with.
