Second grade had a fantastic time in drama class recently while exploring the world of improv! They learned that in its purest form, improv is acting without a script, and you make up the scene as you go. We made a list of locations (such as the jungle, the mall or school) and asked for suggestions on character types (such as an old person or a little girl). Students then got up in pairs and said several lines together in character, at their “location” and voila! We had brief improvised scenes. Everyone got to have a turn learning the basic fundamentals of this fun and fast-moving type of acting.
