For example should a class be a musical group and keen to sing, the music session could change from week six to week 4. While at least 18 Theatresports® games are learnt, some groups cover more ground and learn more games.

From time to time, and at the discretion of the teacher, some games may be chosen in the place of those named above.

A complete list of the performance games will be given to all attendees.
