Theatre Games:

“Clap” from the film “The Conjuring” 

People hide while the "It" person counts back from 10. The "It" person, with eyes closed, claps to get a sense of where everybody is. The people hiding have to clap back so that the "It" person can get a sense of where people are. Then the "It" person begins to walk about, clapping when s/he gets a sense that someone is nearby. Everybody hiding must clap back loudly enough for the "It" person to hear.  The people hiding cannot move from their hiding place. When someone is found, then the found person becomes the new "It" person.

“Slide Show”

Five people strike poses relating to each other which tell some sort of story, which a “narrator” then interprets for the audience as a sort of  home slide show.

There are five slides, and with the narrator’s back turned, the actors have five seconds between slide shows to strike a different pose for each slide show.
