"Acting for Animation" Icebreakers

Introductions: Students interview each other for 10 minutes, and introduce each other.
"The Greatest Thing": Students get into groups. One person comes in and pitches the greatest thing he has ever seen. The others in the group act accordingly once they find out what that thing is.

"Poker Face" : Students are dealt Texas Hold Em hands. Once they see their cards, they have to make a face that is opposite of what they normally would express if they were to see this hand in a real game. The intensity must also be expressed.

I Love You Honey: Everyone sits in a circle, one person is in the middle. The person in the middle approaches a person and says "I Love You Honey", and the person must respond (without laughing), "I love you too, but I just can't smile". If the person laughs, they are IT.

King and Slave
