Abstract:
A collection of improvisation games for various levels and purposes.
Games featured here have been used by drama practitioners, educators, and artists in various formats for many years. If we have sourced a game from a specific website, it is credited at the end of the game description.
Most of these games can be adapted up or down with the right supports (e.g., supporting scripts or sentence stems for younger students). Use your professional judgment about whether these games are right for your group.
Most French translations and language supports were generously provided by Adriana Alfano, OCT.
