Lesson Plan
THEATRE GAME
Improves teamwork and imagination
"The Odd Bug"
Students pair up and decide on movements that could be that of an odd bug, along with a repetitive noise. The next student goes onstage and must add a movement (and noise) to the "bug".
Add another student, and another student so that it becomes one homogeneous entity. Then have "it" advance very slowly. The students must stay well in their spot as the bug. You may need to form several bugs depending on the class size.

IMPROVISATIONS / DIALOGUES
Two actors
You will need a newspaper and a paper cup
Two students. A comes onstage and sits on a chair to read a newspaper. Shortly after, B arrives with a cup of coffee chatting about this and that, and sits near A.
Eventually B tries to read A's newspaper, B pulls away. B bends nearer to A and finally spills coffee on A.
A jumps up, furious. Says s/he had an important appointment. B tries to brush off the coffee but A says, "Stop it! Just go away!" B insists. A throws the paper down and leaves. B picks up the paper, sips the coffee, and reads. S/he looks over the paper to the audience, and winks.

I'm one of the oldest species that the world has ever seen
I hardly seem to move but you can see where I have been
'Cause everywhere I go I leave a silver slimy trail
You guessed it: I'm a snail.
I like to take things slowly, nice and easy that's my style
'Cause when you take things slowly every inch is like a mile
There's no need to hurry it will only make you puff!
Snail's pace is fast enough!
Snail's pace, is fast enough for me
Snail's pace, there's plenty of things to see
It doesn't matter if the road is smooth or rough
Snail's pace is fast enough
I crawl around the garden with my home upon my back
It comes in very handy when I'm under an attack
I hide away all day beneath the vegetables and ferns
And live a life of leisure with my friends the slugs and worms.....
Snail's pace, is fast enough for me
Snail's pace, there's plenty of things to see
It doesn't matter if the road is smooth or rough
Snail's pace is fast enough.

One species of snail can grow up to a foot and a half long.
Snails and slugs are mollusks, putting them in the same category as oysters, clams, and mussels.
They are one of the most diverse groups of animals in terms of form, habitat, and behaviors.
There are approximately 150,000 species of gastropods, and they live in almost all habitats, from the ocean depths to the high deserts.
