One-sentence improvisations

Students act out short drama scenes based on a randomly drawn opening sentence.

Steps

1. Warm-up: walking across the room expressing different moods and emotions.
2. Pairs draw an opening sentence, e.g., 'You will never believe what I just found'.
3. They have one minute to prepare and two minutes to perform.
4. The audience guesses the setting and relationship.

Tip: The core 'Yes, and...' improv rule helps students build upon each other's ideas rather than blocking.
