What is the big deal about improv? It's fun. It strengthens our imagination, promotes self-confidence, increases spontaneity, promotes teamwork, and it's magic: it creates something out of nothing. 101 Improv Games for Children and Adults contains the basics: what improv is all about and how to do it, special instructions for how to teach improv to children, plus more advanced training on how to use your voice and body in ways you haven't thought of before. It has helpful hints for creating scenes and environments out of thin air. All this plus 101 games with simple instructions, from easy warm-up games to over-the-top crowd pleasers such as Fairy Tales, Bizarre Games, On Your Toes and Narrative Games. This is the tenth in the Hunter House SmartFun activity books series, and the first one for adults as well as children. The book is a great resource for educators as well as for the professional actor or the layperson working with improv for fun. The book contains lively illustrations and is easy to use. Improv is about creating something out of nothing, but a really good improviser can create something great out of nothing. This book shows you how. Review: great for drama kids - i thought this was an awesome gift idea but im not sure if the recipient has tried it yet, either way the quality seemed good and the games fun Review: Easy to use! - Great book with lots of amazing theatre game ideas. This book was also very easy to read, since they included visuals and dedicated each page to each game, which was very helpful to my scattered brain.

101 Improv games
The product came very quickly and in great shape so I am happy with the seller. The book is pretty decent, but some of the explanations are alittle confusing and unclear, also some are not good for children. It'll definitely help me with teaching my drama class though.

Happy with the book
My first instinct was to look online for improv game ideas. I found a few, but a lot of searching was required and the results were so-so. This little book has genuinely fun and inventive games, and is worth the cost.

Great content for Improvisation
This book was purchased for my children’s theatre. It has many of the familiar Improv games and a lot of new ones all in one book. My teachers love it! Works well with kids on the learning spectrum too.

Needs to be more clearly written, but useful in the classroom
This has some great suggestions for how to implement improv in the classroom, and it lists some great games. Some of the games and the way they are written were difficult to understand.

Very helpful for teaching!
I purchased this book because I recently started teaching children's theater class. Their ags range from 5- teens. I played the what's in your pocket game with the little ones and they LOVED it. This book is a great tool to have on your teaching bag.

I thought this would have more dance based I did ...
I thought this would have more dance based I did not realise it was more drama based until I received it.

The instructions are clear and easy to understand
I've used many of the activities for my grade 4 to 12 students. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. There are a good variety of types of activities and activities for different age groups of students. Overall I found my older students did the best with the activities.
