Activity 7    Magic Pit (Situation)
Let us sit in a circle. We will now take a 
headcount. The teacher calls a random number. 
When your number is called out, you go to the 
centre of the circle, where the invisible magic pit 
is present. Instead of picking an object like the 
last time, you jump into a situation and act like 
you are a part of the situation. The other children 
have to guess the situation. No talking is allowed!
Let us create new 
worlds, become 
different people and 
get into new exciting 
situations! How 
does it all happen? 
t hrough your minds! 
What you think 
becomes the reality!
Getting ready and coming to school, 
falling down and going to the doctor.

So, now you have started to understand how 
COMMUNICATION can be improved by combining 
action (body language) and expression. It requires 
CREATIVITY and IMAGINATION. You can see how 
you are not only understanding these terms that are 
fundamental to theatre, but also building these skills, 
so you can become experts in theatre.

Ac t i v i t y 8    object improvisation
instructions — The teacher calls one child 
and gives an object. (Everyday classroom 
objects like pen, duster, chalk piece, etc.). 
The object must be used as something else 
apart from its original function. The others 
guess the reimagined object. The same 
object is then passed on to the next child.  
The child uses it as something different 
and the others make a guess. You cannot 
repeat what others have done already.
Remember — The shape of the object  
enacted should resemble to the original object. 
For example, a pen — It can be depicted as a 
toothbrush, comb, or a ladle as the shape is 
similar. It cannot be used as a book, a helmet 
or a shoe… because they are different in shape.
This girl is using 
the bottle as:
This boy is using 
the pencil as:
 tip: Using expressions along with body language or gestures or 
action will help communication better.
Pen, chalk, duster, and 
other classroom objects. 
Book, bag, or something that is 
bigger than level one objects.

Activity 9    Sound improvisation
Requirements — 
Basic folk instruments: 
Tamte, hand drum, 
bells, recorded 
instrumental music 
(no vocals or songs) to 
be used. 
instructions — The 
teacher will play a sound. 
You close your eyes and 
listen to the sound with 
full attention.
Observe the feelings 
you are getting. What 
images or visuals are 
coming to your mind. 
Now, open your eyes 
and respond to them in 
a creative way (Dance, 
move, react, express what 
you feel. Do not talk).
Rhythms of local drums, whistling, etc. Recorded music 
could be used for instrumental music of a ??ute, ektara, 
etc., to create different moods and emotions.
This is a group activity, where the reactions 
are in a group. They create a simple visual for 
the mood of the sounds they hear. Example: A 
lively music bit could be visualised as a festival 
celebration; a deep sound of drums could be 
visualised as a scene of mystery and exploration.
We now move on to the next level – SOUND!
Sound itself has a quality to bring up certain thoughts 
and feelings. How do you feel when you hear the 
sound of birds chirping? What about the sound 
of a river ??owing or ocean waves? Each sound can 
mean different things to different people. Let us see 
how you give meaning to what you listen to and tell 
me what each music piece is communicating to you.
