Tug of War Exercise

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners hone their acting and imagination by playing tug-o-war with an imaginary rope. Each group works together and pretends to pull the other group over the imaginary line with an imaginary rope. This could be a good improve warm up prior to drama class, or a fun way to start the day.
