So I'm looking for ideas on how to adapt the "Survival Game" listed below into a "Thespian Survival Game" for our state's upcoming student leadership weekend conference.
I thought I would throw this out to the community to gather some creative ideas and/or if anyone wants to steal the idea for their own troupe/state.
New Game:
You and your fellow thespians have (create a scenario that challenges you and your troupe to finish a show before the audience arrives!)
Your group of remaining thespians have managed to salvage the following items:
(create a list of 12 items that a thespian troupe might salvage and create a correct order of importance for each item). Original Game:
You and your companions have just survived the crash of a small plane. Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed in the crash. It is mid-January , and you are in Northern Canada. The daily temperature is 25 below zero, and the night time temperature is 40 below zero. There is snow on the ground, and the countryside is wooded with several creeks crisscrossing the area. The nearest town is 20 miles away. You are all dressed in city clothes appropriate for a business meeting. Your group of survivors managed to salvage the following items:
A ball of steel wool
A small ax
A loaded .45-caliber pistol
Can of Crisco shortening
Newspapers (one per person)
Cigarette lighter (without fluid)
Extra shirt and pants for each survivor
20 x 20 ft. piece of heavy-duty canvas
A sectional air map made of plastic
One quart of 100-proof whiskey
A compass
Family-size chocolate bars (one per person)
Your task as a group is to list the above 12 items in order of importance for your survival. List the uses for each. You MUST come to agreement as a group.
