G.12. Fit the Reader
Dramatic game and good creative fun. Requires magazine, journal, or book.
The leader chooses a piece of written material from a magazine, newspaper or book – any paragraph, ordinary or otherwise.
He or she explains how each person in the group is to assume the role of a particular kind of reader. One person is given the paragraph to read – without preparation – in the manner or style chosen by the reader.
Examples:
1. In the manner of a horse-racing commentator as the horses near the post.
2. In the manner of a children’s story reader.
3 . In the style of a dignitary making a speech on a public occasion.
4. In a style full of insinuation and innuendo.
5. In the style of a rabbi.
6. In the manner of a suspicious policeman.
