10 Improv Games to play with your k12 Students

Here are 10 fun and engaging improv games that are perfect for kids of various ages, along with brief descriptions:

  1. Yes, And…: The classic improv game where players build upon each other’s ideas by always agreeing and adding something new.
  2. Zip, Zap, Zop: A fast-paced game focusing on attention and quick reactions, where players pass energy around a circle using verbal and physical cues.
  3. One Word Story: Players take turns adding one word at a time to create a collaborative and often silly story.
  4. Expert Double Figures: Two players act as “experts” on a made-up topic and answer questions from the audience, making up answers as they go.
  5. Freeze Tag: A physical game with an improv twist, where tagged players freeze until another player unfreezes them with a funny pose or sound.
  6. Character Switch: Players begin a scene as one character and then switch roles with each other when prompted, exploring different perspectives.
  7. Emotional Roller Coaster: Players act out a scene where their emotions change rapidly, from happy to sad to angry and back again.
  8. Sound Effects Story: One player tells a story while others create sound effects to accompany the action.
  9. Alien Translation: One player speaks gibberish as an alien, while another player interprets and translates for the audience.
  10. The Human Machine: Players work together to create a machine using their bodies and voices, with each person representing a different part.

Remember to adapt the games to the age and experience level of your kids. Have fun with it and encourage them to be silly, creative, and confident!
