Have you another voice?
Have players sit in a circle. Discuss ways that they could change their voice so that no one would know it was them. Some examples include using an accent, or speaking with a deep, high, or raspy voice.
As a group, practice saying the line from Peter Pan, “Have you another voice?” using different voices.
Once players are comfortable with using their voices in a variety of ways, choose one player to be Captain Hook. Captain Hook will close his or her eyes.
Choose one student to be Peter Pan and disguise his voice saying the sentence: “Have you another voice?"
All players should put on their most innocent looking faces – like it could have been any of them.
Have all players say to Captain Hook: “Open your eyes!” Captain Hook uses his power of observation and power of listening to determine who said the line “Have you another voice?” Captain Hook has three tries to figure out who played Peter Pan.
