Family Vacation.
You have like 3-5 peopl just walk and fool around behind the speaker. The speaker will begin to talk about their favorite parts of the vacation. when they say "this picture is" the background people freeze and the speaker must come up with a way to describe the picture.
The game sounds boring but is really so much fun.
Enjoy!!! :D

My theater friends and I always play this really goofy improv game that we call "Talk Show". It's so much fun!

What you do is you assign one person to be the talk show host. Everybody else sits on the sides. The host comes up with really ridiculous topics and then pick a person from the sides to interview based on that topic. (ex. an interview with the author of 101 uses for duct tape; interview with monkey boy and reuniting him with his long lost monkey mother!) That's just some of the weird stuff we have come up with. It's really funny when you really get into it!

Another one that we play we call "Party". (we couldn't come up with a name, lol) We got this idea from the show "Who's Line is it Anyway?" What it is is that there is one party host. Every guest gets assigned some type of character to play, and they must act like that without ever saying what they are. The host then needs to guess what they were trying to act out in the end. This one is a blast!

Those are just some ideas, I hope you like them!

I enjoy verbal restriction games.

Three-word sentences. Everyone must speak in sentences of three words (hence the name).

First word/last word--The first word of a player's speech must begin with the last word of the other players' speech.

Alphabet--Each new speech begins with the next letter of the alphabet. (Hint: for "k" words think "kn")

Scene all in gibberish.

And for all over goofiness, Alliteration. Each player gets a different consonant, and every word they say begins with that letter. You're not looking for *actual* words--for instance, if my letter were "p," the sentence "Hello, I'm really happy to see you" would come out "Pello, Pim peally pappy po pee poo."
