2. Have your audience select a scenario - anything from "avoiding an encounter with a bear" to "standing in line to buy concert tickets."
3. Let the audience pick any letter of the alphabet with which to begin.
4. Give someone a watch to time the skit for two minutes - or 90 seconds if you really want a challenge.
5. Begin as soon as the timer says, "Go!"
6. Use the initial letter to begin a sentence relevant to the scene.
7. Wait until player #2 uses the next letter of the alphabet to begin his or her sentence.
8. Be patient while player #3 uses the subsequent letter.

10. Have other teams of three act out other scenes.
11. Judge teams by speed, emotive skills, aptness, creativity or whichever standards your group chooses.
