**What is the big deal about improv?
It's fun. It strengthens our imagination, promotes self-confidence,
increases spontaneity, promotes teamwork, and it's magic: it creates
something out of nothing.

101 Improv Games for Children and Adults contains the basics: what
improv is all about and how to do it, special instructions for how to
teach improv to children, plus more advanced training on how to use your
voice and body in ways you haven't thought of before. It has helpful
hints for creating scenes and environments out of thin air. All this
plus 101 games with simple instructions, from easy warm-up games to
over-the-top crowd pleasers such as Fairy Tales, Bizarre Games, On Your
Toes and Narrative Games.
This is the tenth in the Hunter House SmartFun activity books series,
and the first one for adults as well as children. The book is a great
resource for educators as well as for the professional actor or the
layperson working with improv for fun. The book contains lively
illustrations and is easy to use.
Improv is about creating something out of nothing, but a really good
improviser can create something great out of nothing. This book shows
you how.
