Quick Description
Players start a scene with two body parts touching and justify it.
How to Play
Each player asks the audience for a part of the body. For example, Player 1 might get knee and Player 2 might get cheek).
These two players must begin scene with these two parts of the body touching.
For example if the audience shots out Knee and Cheek, one player puts their hand on the other players Cheek.
The players begin a scene and must justify why they are in this position.
Notes
You can think of the two parts of the body touching as a suggestion for the scene start. Why are these two people touching in this way.
The touching of each other implies a relationship.
It is similar to Freeze Tag, among other justification games.
Warning: This could get uncomfortable with a rowdy crowd. If they give you rude suggestions, don’t do them — ask for something else.
Variations
Get two pair of parts: one to start the scene and one to end it.
Ask the audience to write different parts of the body on slips of paper and pull change your positions throughout the game. Similar to the game, Slips of Paper. [A game that is in the Playbook.]
