Theatre Warm-ups/Warm-ups: Elephant Ears

ELEPHANT EARS, CHARLIE'S ANGELS, PALM TREES, CLINT EASTWOOD

1. Students stand in a circle.
2. Person in the center points to a person and calls out one of the following:
3. Elephant Ears: The person who is pointed at, makes an elephant trunk with her arm.
The persons standing on either side of her makes the elephant's ears with their outside arm.
Charlie's Angels: The person who is pointed at, strikes a pose like the middle Charlie's Angel in the movie poster.  The two people on either side strike a pose like the other two Charlie's Angels.
Palm Trees: The person who is pointed waves her/his arms up like a palm tree in a fierce wind.  The two people on either side also wave their arms like palm trees in a fierce wind.
Clint Eastwood: The person who is pointed at, stands and glowers like Clint Eastwood without cracking a smile - or talking to an empty chair.

Penalty: All three people - the person pointed at and the person on either side of her/him - must work as one in becoming palm trees, Charlie's Angels, or elephant ears.  If some one zones out, is confused, late, does palm tree when s/he should have "elephant eared" or just doesn't do it at all, then the entire three people are out of the game.
