Game Library: “Stop and Go”

A warm-up to stretch your give and take muscles…

Here’s a super-sized ImprovDr Game Library entry with eight different name games!

This ImprovDr blog entry includes two approaches to this classic storytelling improv exercise.

The ImprovDr Game Library continues to expand with “Environmental Freeze Tag,” a lesser-known warm-up that creates expansive and dynamic locations.
