G.16. Adverb Game
One volunteer leaves the room, others choose an adverb, e.g., “slowly.”
When s/he returns he must find out what the adverb is by asking people to do things “that way,” e.g., “Shake hands that way” (so they would shake hands very slowly). If a member doesn’t want to, or can’t do what s/he says, he or she should therefore say, “I don’t want to,” very slowly.
After each command the volunteer makes a guess at the word; s/he can continue until s/he guesses - or gives up.
Variations:
Leader calls out adverbs, e.g., “nervously,” and everyone moves around the
room that way. (This is good as a link or warm-up activity, before moving into an
active game, or drama.)
