Here are some spontaneous improvs which can be a good giggle and also get kids thinking on their feet:

* Fortune teller and client
* Boyfriend proposing to girlfriend (she’s trying to dump him)
* Door-to-door salesperson and a lonely pensioner
* Pregnant woman and a claustrophobic stuck in a lift
* Stangers on a train, one lights up in a no-smoking compartment
* A is a withering house plant, B is trying to encourage it to grow
* A is a door-to-door salesperson and has to try and persuade B to buy a new hoover
* A tries to teach B how to levitate
* Both act out a soap opera EG Eastenders/Home and Away but you need to act as hamsters
* Two people in a canoe in the Amazon. A has just dropped the paddle
* A and B are both Home Sales people EG QVC. A has to sell a broken toilet and B has to sell a book with no pages

A few ideas to get you started but the list is endless and the results are often hilarious! Just think ‘Who’s Line is it Anyway?’
