    Bang! (drama game)

    Bang! (also known as The Gun Game! amongst other variants) is a drama game, in which players stand in a circle and shoot each other with imaginary guns.

    The objectives of the game include enhancing concentration skills and reaction time as well as helping groups of people remember each other's names.

    Rules

    The workshop leader/director or other nominated person does not join the circle. Each remaining player holds an imaginary gun in each hand, pointed at the adjacent player.

    The leader will call out a player's name. If he/she calls "John" then John must duck to avoid being shot. The players on either side of John must shout "bang!" One of the following then occurs:

  • John fails to duck in time so has been shot and is out;
  • One or other of the players said "bang" after the other and has therefore been shot and is out;
  • John ducked in time and both shooters said "bang" simultaneously. No-one is out and play continues.

    • If someone accidentally ducks or shoots when they were not supposed to be doing so then they are also out.

    Blow out your brains
    Ain't no friends in this game
    Fuck a five-0 and the fame
    Prelude to all this evil,
    Some people might say it's money whether they believe you.
    Judgement day is still a'comin people, never leave me.
    It will be with me forever only time i need you's
    When your fuckin head is severed stackin'up my green books.
    At night I'm playin' with black magic. Tell me, have you seen crooks
    Busting off they automatics deep into the darkness?
    Some might even say i'm heartless
