Archetype Games
Archetype Statue Game
Think about which archetype would be the easiest to act out.
You will spread out around the room, in a squatting position.
Then, on a slow count to 4, they grow into a statue that represents a
specific archetype or character, such as a king or queen. (See list below.)
When everyone is ready, I will ask you to move the way your
archetype or character would move. When I say “Freeze,” all students
stop and squat again.
Start over with a different archetype.
Students must give each other space when they come to a squatting
position. No touching, running, or talking is allowed. Any student who
breaks the rules must sit out for one archetype before rejoining the game.
