COMMUNITY BUILDING 142. Make Up Talent If you don’t think you have talent (trust me you do), or you want to get people out of their heads, hold an improvised talent show. Here’s how: • Organize people into teams. • Give a set amount of time (30 to 45 minutes) for each team to come up with a skit, song, or other type of performance that they will present to the group. • After the planning time is over, host a talent show as normal, with each group performing. • At the end, decide a winner.1 A few helpful tips: • Require everyone in the group to be involved in the performance in some way. • Set minimum/maximum time limits for each performance. • For additional challenge, you can require each team to include a particular phrase or word in the show. 1 Hint: The winner is usually everyone because they all tend to be hilarious. 82
