What started as a single music-themed game has grown into seasonal versions, all music themed too.
Game TIPS for Let’s Get This Game Started Ice Breaker
Let’s Get This Game Started is a fun game where players are unaware of the overall story and only receive prompts for when to deliver their lines.
Participants follow a script divided into mostly single sentences to create a surprising and humorous narrative, making it a fun and spontaneous activity that requires quick thinking and concentration.
A “whisper in the ear” explanation might be helpful for certain students or for those who signal that they’d like some assistance after receiving their line.
Oscar-worthy performances are sure to happen!
Music Themed Game
Print the 1 through 30 numbered sheets and cut into strips. Then give each student a strip making sure that the numbers are in random order so students don’t know the order of the responses.
If you have fewer than 30 students, give a couple of students two strips. If you have more than 30 students, have a few participate with a partner.
I spelled the syllables the way I thought students would have the greatest chance of pronouncing correctly. (doe instead of do, ray instead of re, etc.) If you’d like to spell them the traditional way or make any other changes, feel free to do it in the downloadable Word doc.
Here’s a Word doc download where you can use “as is” or make changes.
