Okay, this takes a bit more background to really enjoy than I want to give, but I'm listening to a TESOL podcast and they're talking about some Total Physical Response (think Simon Says) activities for evaluating students' language abilities, and how some activities really would be best for younger students, and then one guy suggested that you could ask high school boys to do things like "Act like a moody adolescent," "Act like I'm something you just scraped off the bottom of your shoe."
I dunno, I laughed. :)

One can also reverse the usual TPR situation by having students tell an instructor or some other volunteer "Obedient Chicken" what to act out.
