Car Performers

Someone thinks of a situation and assigns a part to each person in the car. For instance, you describe the situation as a group of people on a boat cruise that becomes shipwrecked on a deserted island. Then you have one person play the boat captain, two people play a couple on a honeymoon, and another is a Saudi Arabian prince. Then improvise whatever comes to mind.

Pass Around

Work as a group to come up with some silly actions, like “meow the Star Spangled Banner,” or “mime like you’re kissing your favorite movie star for 60 seconds.” Write each action on a piece of paper and crumple it into a ball. Pick one of the balls at random and pass it around in a circle, while the driver watches the odometer. When the odometer reaches a number ending in zero (or whatever number you like), he/she calls out “stop.” Whoever is holding the paper has to open it and act out what it says.
