Improv Game Workshop Activities

In pairs, players mirror one another's movements.  

The objectives are to build group member relationships through verbal and nonverbal cue-sensing and effective adaptation to others' displayed emotions through entertaining and nonthreatening skits.

Whoosh, bangs, zaps etc. are passed around the circle. Great opportunity to introduce failure bow

Players perform a scene based on an audience suggestion. At any point during the scene, the Host may blow a whistle and call for a “New Choice,” (or "Change!") at which point the previous line of dialogue and/or action is replaced with a new line of dialogue and/or action.

Pass around imaginary balls & other objects

Story is told one word or one sentence at a time
