HUMAN MEGAPHONE
Human Megaphone
We’re gonna play Human Megaphone.
Do you know that term? That’s when
a crowd echoes what a speaker says,
like at a rally.
In the game version, your job
is to echo my words
and match my enthusiasm; my job
is to pump you up.
To do that, I’ll have to group my words
into short phrases
you can actually remember.
So here we go:
Your job (Audience repeats.)
is to echo my words (Audience repeats.)
and match my enthusiasm; (Audience repeats.)
my job (Audience repeats.)
is to pump you up. (Audience repeats.)
(Repeat the call and response lines above. Then:)
That was two reps; you’ll do three,
so you can really get us fired up.
Okay, who wants to go first?
PURPOSE
To a) calibrate the impact of the delivery and b) group words to make them memorable.
OVERVIEW
The speaker leads a call & response with three chances to energize the audience.
