Acting Improv: Improvisation Games

Completed by 7 learners
Ages 9-12
Live Group Class
Games where stories are created from improvisation in this acting class. We establish rules, accept a suggestion (theme), and let our imagination work. Great class for shy students and for those who want to learn how to think quickly.

Class Experience

Improvisational theatre or IMPROV ACTING - often called improvisation or improv, is a form of theatre (often comedy). 
Most of all of what is performed is unplanned or unscripted, created spontaneously by the performers.
In this class, we will play "improv games" and create our stories based on randomized suggestions. 
The teacher explains the rules and organizes the students to make sure everyone participates. 
We move from one game to the next after 5-8 minutes to keep the class fun and dynamic.
Each game helps develop skills - confidence, wit, clear speech, etc.
No experience is required. Although improv is known as theater, non-actors love it as a hobby because it is fun and can make friends. 
The first week of the month: Improv Games- "Ice Breaker" + "Five Things" + "One Word at a Time."
The second week of the month: Improv Games- "Warm-up" + "Swap this" + "Interrupt the monologue."
The third week of the month: Improv Games- "Team Building" + "Yes, and..." + "Think quick."
The fourth week of the month: Improv Games- "Accepting suggestions" + "Relate and Build."
The fifth week of the month: Improv Games- "Best of improv games."
As the course goes on, we will rotate with the same exercises and add more as the students get better at them.

*When taking an acting class, participation is important. Learners must have their cameras turned on.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I’m Ms. Lambert, a Star Educator on Outschool since 2020, a professional actor, director, and educator, and a mother of two (ages 10 and 13). I teach improv, acting, social clubs, and discussion-based classes that help students build confidence, creativity, and communication skills in a fun and supportive environment.

With a background in theater, film, and storytelling, I love creating interactive and engaging learning experiences for all students—whether they’re outgoing, shy, or somewhere in between. I also speak multiple languages and enjoy exploring different cultures, which often inspire my classes. My passion for philosophy, books, and world events fuels dynamic conversations where students can think critically and express themselves freely.

I believe learning should be collaborative, inclusive, and fun—a space where students feel safe to share ideas, take creative risks, and connect with others. Whether through acting exercises, thought-provoking discussions, or casual social clubs, my goal is to create a welcoming and engaging space where every student’s voice is valued.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me reading, writing, playing video games with my kids, or enjoying the beach. I love storytelling in all forms—whether through books, movies, or improv scenes. I can’t wait to meet your learner and help them build confidence, make friends, and have fun in my classes! 😊
