Warm-up #1 - Charlie

One person is Charlie. Charlie leaves the room.  The rest of the team chooses one thing that Charlie does (limps, hiccups, trips), one thing that Charlie says (Wow, I love pizza, Do you like my hat?) and one thing Charlie has (BO, lots of money, a monkey). The rest of the team improvs about having a party and decides to invite Charlie. For example:
Person 1 – Did you know it’s my birthday on Saturday?
Person 2 – Are you going to have a party?
Person 3 – Yes, we are having a pizza party at the hot springs.
Person 4 – Are you going to invite Charlie?
Person 1 – Yes, I have to. Our moms are best friends and she’ll make me.
Person 2 -  Ya, but all Charlie ever says is, “Do you want to see my baseball cards?”
Person 3 – And I don’t think he’ll come to the party unless he brings his monkey.
Person 4 – And it would be dangerous because he’s always tripping over everything.
Person 1 – I told you, I have to invite Charlie.
Party time: Charlie rings the doorbell and enters the room. He acts out the three things during the skit. They group acts out what happens at the party. Let it go as long as they have a skit going.  When they get too silly, stop them.
