Top Theatrical Icebreakers: Freeze Improv (10 Minutes)

Place two chairs in the center of the room, and have your students sit around them. This is going to be the 'stage' for your improv icebreaker.

Select two students, and give them a prompt to start improvising a scene from, such as 'You're stuck in an elevator together'.

As the rest of the class watches, they can shout 'FREEZE!' and take over from one of the actors in the scene.
