Improvisation Work: 3 Games to Play before Challenge
The key to this game is repulsion: consisting of a "bench
resident" and a newcomer, it is the job of each newcomer to find an
imaginitive way to, as the name of the game implies, scare the bench
dweller off so as to assume their position (and so on). Bench dwellers, to increase intensity, can be
resistant at first (to up the ante), so long as they don't play Mr.
Brave and ruin the entire game for everyone.

Directions for this improv:
Two in
an introductory scene, who to an extent may wish to exaggerate gestures
and physical actions, at any point an outside participant can shout
"freeze," at which point all action and dialogue ceases (bodies frozen
in place) and the person can then go and tag whichever player he wishes
to replace. What ensues is up to the literal scene stealer, as he must
resume where it all left off, though redirecting the scene however he
chooses.
This game involves
two people, with any additional number of people off to each side as
sub-ins. The players must only interact inquisitively, that is with
questions only, to carry forth the given scene. As soon as one play
slips up (offering a statement, re-asking the previous question in a
slightly different way, or simply taking too long to respond), they are
booted and replaced by the "player on deck" behind them in the wings.
