Here's a link to a great website that has lots of games. I've used these in many of my classes. Enjoy!

Have you played "Hitchhiker"? Three people in three chairs establish who they are and where they are going and then pick up a hitcher. Hilarious! After a few minutes, call "scene" and the driver gets out, passenger moves to driver's seat and backseat passenger moves up front. Hitcher scoots over to vacate the seat for the next Hitcher to be picked up

Well i play a game called mofia. Its really fun and it lasts a while. Someone has to be God. You need to pick 2 or more mofia members, and you need to pick about 2 doctors to save the victims and the rest are townspeople. First everyone puts there heads down with their eyes closed. Then god says i'm gonna pick the mofia and when i tap someone on the head once they are gonna be the mofia members. When i tap someone on the head twice they are gonna be doctors. The ppl that didn't get taped are going to be the townspeople. Now the person that plays god says mofia members lift up your heads. They agree on someone to kill. Then the mofia members put their heads down. Then u say doctors heads up. Then the doctors choose some 1 2 save. Then doctors put their heads down. Then God says who the mofia members killed unless they were spared by the doctors. Then god makes up a story of how they died{fakely no one really dies in this game you just have them leave the circle}. Then they have accusations after and the person with the most accusations dies and reveals whether they were a doctor,mofia member, or townsperson. Hope this is fun but try not 2 make the death stories 2 tragic if your working with young kids. Goodluck!

Aw I love all of these games everyone's listed!
One of my favorites is called the "where" game. You pick 3 people and give them a location. They can be people at the location or objects in the location and once people in the audience start to understand where the location is, they get up and join in until everyone understands. It works on observation and improv.
Another one is called "dinner party". You may have seen it on Who's Line Is It Anyway. It's a game where there are usually 5 people. The 5th person is the host of a part and the other 4 all of their own personalities. Each one enters the party by ringing a doorbell [imaginary] and they stay in character using the mannerisms of their personalities. So say someone was pregnant...if the host offered them punch a good idea would be to ask if it had alcohol in it. The object is for the host to guess who or what the people are.
Hope I helped :]
