即興喜劇營：約翰雅各金格爾海默短劇！

 What are you doing?:  
Students pantomime an action given to them by a classmate (for example, making pancakes or brushing their hair).  They will then give the next student a new action to pantomime.

Yes, And?:
In this game, we take the #1 rule of improv literally!  Students will be given characters and a scene.  The only rule is that after the first line, every subsequent line must begin with the words "Yes, and..." 

 Slideshow:
Pairs of students will present a "slideshow" on the fly! One is the presenter, the other is a human slideshow! The slideshow student makes large, random movements, and must freeze when the presenter says "click!" The presenter explains the pose.

Relationship Blitz:
Students take turns saying a single line to a classmate to tell them who they are.  For example, "Dad, I'm tired!" tells the student they are a dad.  They say one line back.  Then, the next student gives a new character! 

 Fortunately/Unfortunately:
The class will work together to tell a story!  After the first line, each subsequent sentence must alternate between beginning with the words "fortunately" and "unfortunately."

Line Improv: 
Students work in pairs.  They will be given a single out-of-context line to begin the scene.  For example, "Have you ever seen anything like it?"  They will continue the scene from there, working together to build characters and context in-scene. 

 Alphabet Game:
Pairs of students will be given characters and a scene.  The first sentence must begin with "A."  Each sentence must begin with the subsequent letter until the alphabet is complete.

Freeze and Justify:
Students will make random, large movements with their bodies.  When the teacher says "freeze!" they must stop and come up with an explanation of why they were in that position.  For example, a student with one foot in the air may say, "I am doing karate!"
