Human Synthesizer

Remote friendly! Creative! Quick!

Turn your group into a synthesizer with this kooky improv energizer game!

How to do it

The aim of this activity is to get everyone doing their own improvised regular sound, building up one by one into one big synchronized track together. The sound might be clicking, or tapping a pen on a desk, or humming, or beat-boxing... anything at all! But it has to be a regularly repeating sound to work. It might be a weird and awkward at the start, but it’s guaranteed to lighten the mood!

As the facilitator, explain the aim of the game, and encourage others to just add their sound one after the other. Start things off with a simple beat. You might want to click or tap a pen on your desk. If you know there are a couple of more outgoing people in your group, you might want to prep them ahead of time, and ask them to come in with their sound after you.
