Put everyone’s name on a slip of paper and place it in a bag. Then, come up with different situations for the “actors” to act out (make sure you put how many people are needed for each situation). Place these in another bag. To begin the game, draw out a situation and according to the number of actors needed, draw out that number of names. For example, Jonah being swallowed by the whale and then spit out (you need a minimum of two actors for that one). This game gets even the shyest person in your group to join in and it brings loads of laughter.
