Drama Game: ZAP

ZAP is a classic drama game good for focus. It's a quick warm up or wind down activity if you find yourself with some spare time at the end of a lesson. 

​How to play zap

Players:

• This is a whole class circle drama game. It is suitable for medium to large groups.

How to play this drama game:

• In a circle, students learn the following actions and sounds.

• WHOOSH: Introduce the first sound / action “WHOOSH”. One person passes the
  “whoosh” to their neighbour by waving both hands at them and saying
  “whoosh”.

• Practice passing the “whoosh” around in one direction.

• WHOA: Introduce the second sound/action “WHOA”. Holding arms out in a stop’ manner and saying “WHOA” changes the direction of the whoosh.

• The “whoosh” then continues in the other direction until another person says
  “whoa”.

• ZAP: To pass the “whoosh” across the circle (instead of to a neighbour), say
  “ZAP” while pointing and making a clapping action towards someone.

• The receiver of the “zap” now has the “whoosh” and can either “whoosh” it to a
  neighbour, “zap” it to another person across the circle or they can “whoa” and
  send the “whoosh” back to the person who sent it saying “zap”.

• You can add in additional actions / sounds and may prefer to use “ZIP ZAP BOING” and clapping actions for all three.
