This is a simple activity that is challenging for even the best actors! A student must go onstage alone and ‘pretend’ to look for something. They must make the audience believe that they are truly searching, and this lesson takes the activity one step further by providing secret suggested obstacles. You will not find this lesson anywhere else, and your students will LOVE it!
Included are:
Complete instructions for three progressively more difficult ways to play
Discussion questions
List of 25 specific obstacles that can be printed out, cut apart and put in a hat
Examples of obstacles:
Someone is asleep in the room and you are trying not to wake them.
You are searching on a boat that is sinking and you need to find the treasure before the boat goes down.
