Grandma's Footsteps

A fun game that will be familiar to anyone who played Mr. Wolf as a kid. Players can get very competitive leading to very funny moments for the audience.

How to Play:

• 5-6 players (the "grandchildren") form a line Upstage, facing the audience. Another player, (“Grandma”) is Downstage, also facing the audience. An empty chair is placed Centre Stage.

• The first grandchild to tap Grandma on the shoulder wins the game. They must fully sit in the chair before reaching Grandma.

• Grandma can turn around at any time and if they see someone move, they name that player who then has to go back Upstage and begin again. If a player is sent Upstage after sitting in the chair, they must sit in the chair again before reaching Grandma.

• The grandchild who taps Grandma on the shoulder first wins the game, and becomes the new Grandma.

Variations:

• Firiendly contact can be allowed or disallowed, depending on group dynamics.

Notes:

• Focus on making a connection with the audience, especially during moments of flops.
