Description: This game takes two Players and two audience Volunteers. Players A and B cannot move their own bodies during the scene; Volunteers A and B are required to move their bodies for them. The Volunteers will tap the Players on the back (or the front) of the knees to get them to move their legs; they will have to turn their heads or move their arms when appropriate (or desired). The Players will be able to speak, and throughout the scene must justify their positions with the current action of the scene.
Tips: Frequent Gets involve a necessity of action - one Player is teaching the other to do something, they are playing a sport, they are working at a factory building ___.
Gimmicks: The Players will often need to verbally justify their positions, but can also describe what they're about to do, to lead the Volunteers to move their bodies appropriately (or not, depending on the whims of the Volunteers). Players describing/engaging in a repetitive physical action (i.e., jumping jacks) can play with the Volunteer and get a good audience reaction.
Variants: Sometimes known as Moving Bodies. You can have more Players (usually no more than three) or fewer Volunteers, if you want to make the Volunteer(s) work harder.
