Freeze Tag [see below]
(This is a free form game. Two people start a scene, at anytime someone can yell "Freeze". When "Freeze" is called all players freeze, the person who called it comes up, tags one person or more person out of the scene, takes their exact same physical position and begins a completely different unrelated scene based on that exact physical position. That scene continues until someone else calls "Freeze" and so it continues.)
