🎰Snitch

Setup and Launch

Three people take the stage: Parent, Older Kid, and Younger Kid. Explain that the game runs on a strict cycle of status: "Parent → Older → Younger → Parent". This cycle cannot be broken — otherwise the mechanic falls apart. Physical interaction between the children is symbolic and safe, visible enough to the audience but "invisible" to the Parent.

Ask the audience for two letters for each round (the host/assistant collects them). The Younger Kid formulates the reason for complaining using those letters. Each round is a short build-up and cut; then roles rotate around the cycle. Play three rounds so everyone has been in each role.

Flow

1) Suggestion and positioning

The coach takes two letters from the audience and announces the current roles. Remind actors to keep status contrasts clear and strong.

2) Snitching

The Younger names the Older's offense using the two letters as a source of discoveries. The Parent calls the Older in and begins to reprimand them; pace is quick, no long monologues.

3) Secret revenge

While the Parent is distracted, the Older slyly "pokes" the Younger (symbolically and safely). The Younger escalates the complaint and adds new details based on the same letters; the Parent presses the Older again.

4) Cut and rotation

After a brief build-up the coach gives the cut. Take two new letters, roles rotate around the cycle and repeat. Contrasts between rounds are encouraged — vary the shading of status and physicality.
