Freeze is an improv game were two people start to act out a scene about what ever they want. Then at any time someone else in the group watching yells “FREEZE” everything stops(the two people freeze in the position they are in). The person they yelled freeze gets up out of their seat and tells one of the people acting to sit down. The new person takes on the position that the other person was in and then the new person starts the talking and starts a new story line.
