Play Improv Games!

Improv games, called Improvisational games, are great fun.  They are featured on such TV shows, like, "Whose line is it anyway?" and "Improv-A-Ganza."

90 second alphabet:

Someone picks a location, and a letter to start with.  Each line of dialogue from the characters have to start with the next letter of the alphabet.  Try to complete the scene in 90 seconds!

Questions only:

Each person can only speak in questions, when a person doesn't they are "out," and the other person wins.  Just need a location!

Rhyme Time :

Start with a rhythm, like pat one leg, then the other, then snap snap.  Start slow, with all people going at the same time.  Then the person starting says a word to rhyme with, the next person, has the pat, pat, snap, snap to come up with another word and says it in rhythm, then it goes to the next person.  If someone can't say it in time to the pat, pat, snap, snap, then they are out.  It continues this way until you have a winner!

Categories:

Start with a rhythm, just like in Rhyme Time, like pat one leg, then the other, then snap snap. Start slow, with all people going at the same time. Then the person starting says a category (ex: colors, pets, animals, Disney characters), the next person, has the pat, pat, snap, snap to come up with word that goes into that category.  If someone can't say it in time to the pat, pat, snap, snap, then they are out. It continues this way until you have a winner!

Story-time:

Make up a story one line at a time.  Have one person point to two or more people, each time they point to a person, they have to continue with the story!
