This is an EXCELLENT book of improv games! I highly recommend this for any drama teacher or club moderator, especially if you are looking to add some new improv games to what you already know and use.

A great little book that has 101 improv game ideas. There's a chart in the contents so that you can see how advanced the games are and they show what size groups are suggested as well. Easy to look through and find age and skill-appropriate ideas!

A great book I have used for my acting class. I love many of the ideas that there are in this book. And have used many over and over again. My young actors have loved them and they have grown as actors because of them.
