2 people each think of a word that is a combination of 2 previous words, attempting to land on the same word.

One person moves and the rest of the group freezes. Then another person 'takes' focus. 

2 players improvise a scene, and make distinct strong physical and vocal choices.

Then the roles are reversed, and each player plays the other's character, in the same scene, same location.

One person is the photographer and the other the camera. The Camera has their eyes closed and is guided by the Photographer who takes photos by cueing the camera to open and close their eyes to snap a photo.
