New Activity for Advisory

We tried out a new game for Advisory yesterday and I had a blast with it.  It came from a website that I love called David Farmer https://dramaresource.com/slow-motion-race/?awt_l=XYD5Vc&awt_m=3jHSAcCv30YVa4v Drama Resource.  There are a lot of fun games on this website for your drama class or your advisory time.  This one is all about using your imagination and working together.  It is called Slow Motion Race. 

You have groups of four or three people.  You give them ten minutes to work together and come up with a slow motion running race.  They can push people, trip people, win or lose, but it all has to be in slow motion.  You can have as many slow motion expressions in it as you want or you can put in a short slow motion skit.  You play the Vangelis Music from The Chariots of
Fire, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSav51fVlKU for inspiration. 

Our advisory had a blast with this activity, and laughed and laughed at the end of it.  It actually takes a lot of patience and cooperation to create something that looks real and goes with the music.  One of the boys groups refused to move in slow motion, they just didn't have the maturity to do it.  But all the other groups had a lot of interesting expressions, great details, and it was a really fun way to focus for the day.  Try it and let me know what you think about it!!

There are also so many other fun activities on this free website so check it out!!
