Props

Description

Two people are playing a scene and they keep mentioning and using various props/objects/vehicles that are played by the rest of the cast.

Example

Player A: They’re getting away, we’ve got to get after them! Jump in the speedboat!

The players jump into a speedboat made up of some other players.

Player B: Woooah the water is pretty rough!

The players play the water.

Player A: They’re going into the compound, we’ll need to get through the gate!

Player B: It’s closing!!

One of the players acts as a gate slowing coming down into the water.

Player B: We’re going to crash!

In slo-mo they “crash” into the gate and fall into the sea.

Teaching Purpose

It works as a short-form game, but it also helps long-form get cast to realise they can be involved in physical support work.
