New Year's improv party ideas - Happy New Year drama theatre games for fun celebration

Need something fun to do for New Year's Eve party with your family? Improv games are interactive and fun for everyone and totally free!

*********

Preparing for a New Year's Party (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly): You must decide who is giving the best advice for preparing for a New Year celebration 3 players (experts) form a line upstage. The audience provides questions or problems for which they need advice. Actor #1 always provide good advice, actors #2 always gives bad advice , and actors #3 gives really bad advice. Good advice should be good, bad should be opposite of the good and ugly should be an even worse version of bad.

Action Figures: 1-2 actors are getting ready for New Year Party. They must prepare an imaginary party but none of them can move on their own. They can only speak. 1-2 other people must move them in all the actions they say they want to do.

Guess Who is Coming to the New Year's Party? (Party Quirks and Dating Game): In all three of these games, three actors become famous people or characters suggested by the audience.  Then you have one person who tries to guess who they are.  You can have the audience write suggestions on pieces of paper before the show or you can the person guessing step outside and the audience can make suggestions.
  • Party Quirks: The person guessing is the host of a New Year's party and the other actors ring the doorbell and enter one at a time as their characters creating problems at the party.  The person guess must say who they are to get rid of them.
  • Dating Game: The person guessing is a bachelor or bachelorette who needs a date for New Year's Party with the family.  He/she interviews the three famous people (real or fictional) with dating type questions (i.e. what's your ideal date? what would be a perfect place to go for a romantic vacation?).  The date must give answers that reveal who they are without saying their names.

Documentary or Slide Show: A leader pretends to be a narrator of a documentary and the actors must act out the documentary the leader describes (do theme such as your year with your family or the history of your New Year celebrations). They can do it as a slideshow/powerpoint with still picture poses or actually act out what is being narrated.

Gibberish: A group of actors (group #1) are foreign guests at a New Year's celebration and act out a scene speaking in a weird language. They talk about their New Year's Resolutions. The other group of actors (group #2) act out the same scene and translate what was said in English.
  • Variation 1: have actors translate what was said by the foreign guests as they act
  • Variation 2: have a actor play a long lost foreigner relative who speaks gibberish and have the other actors try to figure out what he/she is saying in a scene where he/she shows up at their door unexpectedly
New Year's Celebration in a Minute: The actors do a scene where they have a New Year's Party and then act out the story in one minute. Then they must act out the same thing in 30 seconds. THEN they must act it out in 10 seconds.

Questions Only: Actors get in two lines (for example, one line is parents and the other is kids). They talk in the form of a question. If they make a statement or don't use a question, then they must go to the back of the line or the audience can shout DIE and they must do a dramatic death scene. The line with the most left at the end wins.  The topic is... you guessed it... New Year's Eve (maybe more specifically - New Year's resolutions).

Stand Sit Slump: Three people are having a New Year's Party. One must be standing, one must be sitting and one must slump down on the ground. After each actor says one thing, the last actor to speak must pick a new position (stand) and the others must adjust and pick the two remaining positions (sit and slump). This can continue until a high moment of humor or until one actor majorly messes up.

For permission to use this as a monologue, please ask doug@freedrama.net and include the title "Widow in White" in your request.


****

“Widow in White” by D. M. Larson

I lay in want of sleep 
and waited feverishly for the dawn
knowing I'd never sleep.

Then in a rocker
Appeared a widow in white
Knitting a shroud
Humming a silent song
Only she could hear.

Then she turned
And looked into my eyes.
I was drawn closer to her side.

The caring caress of her gentle eyes
Sought to touch the worries of my heart.

But a sudden shudder fell though me
And tossed me into folds of sleep.

Then as the light of dawn approached
I looked again and she was gone.

Munch My Macho Taco - comedy skit for 2 actors - free stage play script duologue

This free stage play script is a skit for 2 actors (1 male and 1 female).  The female is a little old lady but can be played by a younger actor in a wig since which can add to the comedy of the scene.

***
"Munch My Macho Taco" by D. M. Larson

from the play "William Shatner Man Crush" ISBN-13: 978-1505910155 (Book) available as a low cost PDF Sellfy.com (PDF)

(Randy is in his wrestling mask and has a sign that says "Munch my Macho Taco." He has a sign dancing job where he stands on street corner with an advertising sign - a dream job for him. An old lady, Sadie, is watching him and checking him out)

(Randy does a silly dance with his sign and sings to the tune of Macho Man by the Village People)

RANDY
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Macho, Macho Taco. I wanna eat a Macho Taco." Hey!

(Sadie pinches Randy on the butt)

RANDY
I told you not to bother me while I'm working, Sadie.

(Sadie giggles and wanders off. Randy goes back to waving his sign)

RANDY
It's a tough life... Being a celebrity. But I am a star now. My fans demand I dance.

(Randy shakes his booty at the audience)

RANDY
Maybe I should insure my booty like JLo... Cause when I shake this thang it's gold. Macho taco said their sales are way up since I started this. They sold like 10 extra tacos yesterday. They almost ran out of tortillas. I can't believe I get paid to do this. This is like a dream job for me. I mean this is what I do anyway. When I home alone, I crank up the music and dance!

(Randy does a silly dance move)

RANDY
Except at home I usually ain't wearing nothing but my undies.

SADIE
I'd pay to see that! You wear them tidy whities just like Tom Cruise?  You wanna show me your Risky Business.

RANDY
The hard part about this is all the fans. Ever had groupies? It's crazy. I mean I don't mind the drive by fans who shout out things. They're cool.

(Randy points to passing car and tries a Hulk Hogan impression)

RANDY
"Eat a macho taco, brother!" But it's the creepy ones that hang around and watch you... and wanna touch you.

(Sadie pinches him again)

RANDY (CONT.)
Knock it off, Sadie. Don't damage the merchandise. I gotta keep working this baby.

(Does Mr. T impression to passing car)

RANDY (CONT.)
"I pity the fool who don't eat no Macho Tacos."

(Randy dances and Sadie tries to join in)

SADIE
Yeah! Shake it! Like the San Francisco quake of 19 ought six.

RANDY
Chicks think this job is hot.

(Randy does a cowboy dance like he is on a horse)

SADIE
Ride 'em cowboy!

(Sings to tune of "Mony Mony" by Billy Idol)

RANDY
"So good! Macho taco! So good! Macho taco! Come on! Come on!"

(Sadie and Randy dance as lights go down)

"The Meaning of Life" romantic monologue for male - free solo stage play script



"The Meaning of Life" by D. M. Larson

From the published play
“When Mel Fell for Nell“ 
ISBN-13: 978-1512007183


***


MEL
So much of my life I was searching... Missing something. I was a wanderer... Lost in the desert without you... Seeking nourishment but getting a mouthful of sand. Catching glimpses of you... Thinking you were a lovely mirage in the heat of madness. Something I would never be able to hold on to. A fantasy... Some trick of the light.

But you are real. More real than my life before... My past a nightmare... My future a never ending dream because of you. When I found you... truly found you... I knew you would make my life complete. You complete me... Make me whole. You are the missing piece of the puzzle that made the full portrait of me. Finally there is meaning to it all. The meaning of life is no longer a mystery. The meaning is life is you.

You are the reward ... The gift after the sacrifice. Freedom from the slavery of my past. In you I find the freedom to be who I really am. Safe to be myself. Safe to love and grow in spirit, sheltered in your loving embrace.

END

The First Star of Night - a Christmas monologue - holiday solo stage play script

"The First Star of Night" by D. M. Larson

The first star of night. So beautiful and so bright. What lovely things will you show us tonight?

I follow the star and find a stable. And see wonderful life... A beautiful life. The birth of something new.

One birth... One life... that changed everything.

Once there was war and revenge... an eye for an eye... rain for 40 days and 40 nights...

But now there is peace and joy... love and healing... all because of one birth... one child... born in a stable below a star... a beautiful star... that grants a wish of peace.

Free lesson plan from teacher with improv games for writing, parts of speech, grammar, adjectives

Thank you to my HOL.EDU Drama Games student, Madeline, for these excellent ideas related to Language Arts using improv games.  Check out 8, 9 and 10 which are totally new games she came up with.

1.  Emotional Mirror
Use this activity to create a bank of adjectives for students to use in writing. In addition, it would be a good way to teach the nuances of emotions i.e., angry -vs- frustrated; happy -vs- giddy, etc.  Students could use a thesaurus to find a number of creative adjectives for specific emotions.

2.  Character Walks
Use this activity as a creative way to teach adverbs, characterization, literary archetypes.  Students could use a thesaurus to find creative ways to describe  a character’s mood, emotions, character traits, etc.  Rather than the instructor calling out commands, the students could take turns calling out the commands using the bank of adverbs, adjectives, etc., that they have created in small groups

3.  The Story
This activity could be a great way to teach prepositional phrases and independent and subordinate clauses.  For example, one person could write a card with a simple sentence (subject/predicate) on it.  That student could then link up with another student who has written a prepositional phrase or a clause on his/her card.  In turn, they might link up with another student with another clause.  This could be a lot of fun and a creative way to teach grammar which is often pretty dull.

4.  Traffic Lights
Again, a fun way to teach grammar.  In this case, each traffic color might stand for a different grammatical element, for example:  green (noun)  yellow (verb)  red (adjective or adverb).  The instructor could call out one of the colors and each student must say a noun, verb or adjective in order to step forward.  Each color could also be worth a certain number of steps, etc.  A fun way to use TPR in teaching and reinforcing parts of grammar.

5.  Up, Down, Freeze
I might use this activity in teaching basic commands to my beginning adult ESL learners.  Once they have mastered the basic commands of UP, DOWN, HEADS, SHOULDERS, ONE LEG, I might add on other simple commands such as ELBOW, KNEE, EARS, etc., with corresponding actions to go with them.  This could reinforce vocabulary and also introduce the parts of the body.

6.  Hi, I’m Bob From Boston (variation)
Using this activity to teach figurative language and poetic devices such as rhyme and alliteration, students might come up with something like this:  “Hi, I’m Bob from Boston.  I enjoy eating baked beans with bologna and miles and miles of mustard and macaroni!  Who are you and what do YOU like to do?”

7.  Tongue Twisters
This would be a fun way to teach and reinforce phrases, independent and dependent clauses.  Students would have to repeat tongue twisters, plus identify the phrases and clauses contained in them.  For example: “She sells sea shells by the seashore.” (By the seashore is a prepositional phrase.  She sells sea shells is an independent clause.)

8. Crosswords (New activity)
Each student is given a blank index card.  He/she writes a consonant on one side and a vowel on the other.  As a whole class, students must form parts of grammar such as a preposition, article, conjunction, adjective or adverb by placing their cards on the floor and then working together to connect them (like a giant crossword).  A good grammar review.

9. Preposition partners  (New activity)
To remind students about prepositions. I allow them  to each choose an object from the room.  As I call out the preposition: up, down, about, forward, backward, around, through, etc., they show the action of the preposition using the item they have chosen. They are also allowed to team up with another student and the student’s object.   This is a fun and silly, but great 10 minute preposition review.

10.  Soulmates (New activity)
Divide the room into two halves.  Give half of the students a card with a noun written on one side and a verb on the other side.  The other half of the students have cards with an adjective on one side and an adverb on the other.  Students are given 30 second intervals to find their soulmates.  They quickly share their combinations with each other, then the instructor shouts “Switch!” and they are off and searching for another soulmate,  A fun “parts-of-speech” lesson.

"Ode to the Squished" short monologue for male or female - kids, teens, children, teenagers, high school - free solo stage play script

Here is a poem / monologue for any age or gender. I would probably label it as a dramedy.  It's a bit more comic but has a slight tragic side. It can be played over-dramatically by an actor or played humorously.

ONLY CHILDREN BELIEVE IN BUTTERFLIES monologue for female actor 7-9 minutes (free solo stage play script acting)

"ONLY CHILDREN BELIEVE IN BUTTERFLIES" 
BY D. M. LARSON 

Purchase a low cost PDF of the monologue at: https://sellfy.com/p/0UC5/

Free preview of the script at the following link:

http://www.freedrama.net/butterflies.html





This is a combination of two different monologues adapted from two different plays. One is from a scene called "Ghosts I've Known" in the script "Secrets of my Soul" and another is from a scene called "Much Madness" from a script called "The Weird, Wild and Wonderful Days of School." 



This final version appears in the book 
"The Bullied, Bungled and Botched" 
ISBN-13: 978-1518661082

The scripts were written around the same time so that's why they work well together. Plus they have a similar theme of dealing with the death of her mother and having a father who abandoned her.


The monologue should be around 7-9 minutes long but if you come up with a different time, please post in the comments below. If you make a video version, share a link in the comments as well.  Be sure to credit the author and freedrama.net in your video description.

Advice on performing monologue Breaking Heart by D. M. Larson - online mini acting classes - solo stage play script for female

Here is some advice on how to perform the monologue "Breaking Heart" by D. M. Larson.

This monologue is a wonderful choice for an actress because is allows her to show a range of emotions. I have seen males successful do this monologue as well so it can work for both genders.

Sometimes you are allowed to perform two contrasting monologues (one drama and one comedy) but if not, and you only get one shot, this monologue is for you because you get to go from comedy to drama.  This can also be a great over-dramatic monologue if you have a lot of power and energy in your acting you want to showcase.  View the notes below for each part of the monologue.  These notes will cover how an actress might show different emotions in her performance. Note: The speaking parts are in regular text and the suggestions have *( before and )* after.



"BREAKING HEART"



BY D. M. LARSON



MONOLOGUE FROM PUBLISHED PLAY




NELL 

*(In this first part, Nell should act like this is no big deal. She should be casual, almost not interested)*



You want to break up... sure... no problem... yeah, I wanted to break up too.



*(At this point Nell starts to become sarcastic but still try to maintain her casual, "I don't care" attitude)*



I've been thinking about it from the day we met. This is a person I will need to break up with. But hey... you beat me to it. No hard feelings.



*(Now she is reacting to something he said like "We can still be friends." For a moment, she let's her hurt feelings show through and has to turn away to hide it)*



(shrugs and turns away)



Be friends?




*(She gets control of her emotions again and turns to him trying to be happy and cheerful. Be she is almost too happy and cheerful that is comes across as fake).*



(turns with a huge smile)



Sure! I'd love to be friends. That's the natural evolution of most relationships. Have a fling and then boom... friends. I'm sure some of the best friendships started that way.



*(She really over-does the friendly stuff now. She might even try to act like a guy [or more like a girl if a male is performing this]).*




(overly enthusiastic)



I look forward to hanging out with you, buddy. Let's meet up and go to...



([insert stereotypical place opposite gender likes to hang out: Hooters, Victoria's Secret, football game, shopping, etc.])



*(Here is where she loses control of her emotions. The sadness and anger and hurt start to show through)*



...some time and hang out.



(yells)



That would be GREAT!



*(Now she gets quiet. She is fighting to keep her emotions in check. She doesn't want to show she is upset but she can't hide it. She is very quiet and almost can't speak. She closes her eyes unable to look at the person she is talking to)*



What? Upset? No, I'm not upset. Why would I be... upset...



*(She can't hold it in anymore. She starts crying a little. The sadness comes out as well as the anger)* 



No, I'm not crying. I said, I'm not crying!



*(She starts crying a lot now. Her voice becomes angry and vicious)*



I don't want your pity. I don't want a shoulder to cry on. I want... to be left...



*(She is screaming at him now. Her emotions come out full force)*



(yells)



...ALONE! Don't you get it. I want to be alone!



*(She stops. There is a long pause here. The anger is gone now. The yelling helped calm her down. But not a deep sadness has replaced the anger. All she can feel is sadness. A depression gets a strong grip on her)*



(pauses... sadly reflects)



I've always wanted to be alone. I never wanted to get close to anyone. I never wanted us to get close. And I guess I was closer to you than you were to me.



*(He says something like "I wanted to be close to you too" but she doesn't believe him. She doesn't believe anything he says anymore. She feel deceived and tricked by him. She feels the anger again)*



(turns angry)



Don't lie to me. I know you don't mean it. I don't want to hear any more lies! I don't want you to make something up so you can get out of this. I want it all laid out on the table.



*(She screams at him again)*



(yells)



I want to know the truth!



*(There is a long pause again. All her energy is gone. She goes limp. She has nothing left anymore. All she can do is cry. She doesn't think she can speak anymore. She has given up... on everything. But then she manages to say one last thing, quietly)*



(long pause... cries... then manages to say)



I want to know why you are breaking my heart.



*(At the end, she can curl up in a little ball and cry to end the scene)*

"If You Give a Wookie a Cookie" - monologue poem for kids - children

Here is a children's monologue I wrote just for fun.  It might be more of a poem than a monologue but if you'd like to use it, please contact doug@freedrama.net (and include the title "If You Give a Wookie a Cookie" in your request).


*****
"If You Give a Wookie a Cookie" by D. M. Larson

If you give a wookie a cookie, then he'll want some more

Never tell him no and try to kick him out the door

Because he'll throw himself down and have a fit on the floor

Then he'll need a bandage because he gave himself a sore

And he sees something on a shelf that he totally adores

So you give it to him because you have no clue what it is for

Then on tv, he sees the pod races and wonders about the score

And he cheers when he realizes his team is winning by four

Then he'll celebrate with a whole box of cookies from before

and want to share with his friends from the planet Endore

"Nervous" female short dramatic monologue from stage play script Death of an Insurance Salesman

"Nervous" is a female monologue from Death of an Insurance Salesman ISBN-13: 978-1518665547



****

"Nervous" by D. M. Larson

SUE
Of course. I'm always happy to help an officer of the law. My father was a police officer. I have a lot of respect for what you do.

Mom was always so nervous about him... I was too... so worried what might happen to him. There are a lot of crazy people out there who aren't afraid to hurt a cop. We'd watch the news each night, worried we might hear something about dad. The news would always do those horrible teasers... officer shot in the line of duty... story at 10... mom would always scramble for the phone. She had to know he was okay. But I'd still stay up late and wait for him... every night... waiting. I'd watch from my bedroom window and when I saw him come home, I could finally sleep.

End of Monologue

****

This monologue comes from the following scene in "Death of an Insurance Salesman":
(MAX wanders over to SUE. She turns and sees him and drops her folder and does a nervous smile)

MAX (CONT.)
Here... let me help you with that.

SUE
Thank you so much. I'm so clumsy today.

MAX
I was wondering if I can ask you a few questions?

SUE
Of course. I'm always happy to help an officer of the law. My father was a police officer. I have a lot of respect for what you do.

MAX
Where did your father work?

SUE
Albuquerque. A long time ago. When I was a girl.

MAX
It takes a special family to be a part of a police officer's life.

SUE
Mom was always so nervous about him... I was too... so worried what might happen to him. There are a lot of crazy people out there who aren't afraid to hurt a cop. We'd watch the news each night, worried we might hear something about dad. The news would always do those horrible teasers... officer shot in the line of duty... story at 10... mom would always scramble for the phone. She had to know he was okay. But I'd still stay up late and wait for him... every night... waiting. I'd watch from my bedroom window and when I saw him come home, I could finally sleep.

MAX
He was lucky to have such a good daughter.

SUE
Was? He still is. He's one of the lucky ones and got to retire.

MAX
I love a happy ending. I hope I am as fortunate.

"Angel's Wings" monologue (art writing collaborative project 2 of 3) free solo stage play script



  My wife made this really cool artwork for my birthday that can be viewed from three different directions. This inspired me to write three different monologues.  Each monologue goes with a different direction of the picture.  These three monologues are dedicated to her. 




***** 

"Angel's Wings" by D. M. Larson 
(art by Shiela Larson)  

I look down on the world below and dream. Dream of mortal things... things I left behind... and miss...  Most of all, I miss you...  I watch, hoping to catch a glimpse of you. And dream of the love we had together.  I still feel your touch and the softness of your kiss, your gentle kiss, softer than angel's wings.  Is it wrong to love so much? Is it wrong to miss you? To want to be with you more than eternity. I would give up eternity to be with you. I would strip away my immortality to have another lifetime with you. Will my eternal soul be damned in your embrace? But how can the devil delight in something so wonderful as our love? How can a love so good be bad?  It's honest love. A love filled with purity and happiness. Surely the devil withers when we're close, because heavenly light shines in your eyes. The warm glow of our hearts burns between us sending Satan back to the frozen fires of Hell. If I lost my wings, would you catch me as I fell from Heaven above? In your arms, We would make our own heaven. I would hope God could forgive such a good love, a pure love, filled with happiness.

*****


"Dance with the Wind" by D. M. Larson

Others run from the storm... I embrace it. Everyone is sheltered in fear but I dance with it. I want to feel it's power.
Such strength... mighty and unforgiving... nothing can stand in it's way. Except me... I dare... I dare to dance with the wind... A dangerous dance... But I will survive. 

Despite your power, despite your might, tomorrow you'll be a memory... but I will still be here... To pick up the pieces.

While you bring destruction,  I bring comfort. I will help those you harm, those you leave behind in your destruction... Because I am better than you... and kinder than you. Despite all your power, I am still better, because I care, I help, I heal.

So give me one last dance, caress me with your winds, make me dizzy with delight, because I don't fear you any more.
