If you have a more advanced class of fun-loving kids you can have them write the prompts, pick them from a hat/box/cup, and act them out without any guidance. How you play this game in the classroom depends on your student’s English level… but also on how much you trust your students. The actors would make funny scenes according to the prompt, and after a while, Drew would pick out another one. Then, he’d take the hat and read a random prompt. In the original game, Drew would ask the audience to write some suggestions and put them in a hat. This is probably the most well-known game from Whose Line. So here are some improv games I’ve taken as well as how I’ve changed them to suit an ESL classroom. You do not want your students becoming frustrated over a limited vocabulary – or they may not get to enjoy the fun and hijinks of the game. Add the fact that your students will be playing these games in a language they’re still not 100% fluent at, and you can imagine how difficult it may be. The people of Whose Line are uniquely talented for these games, so non-actors may have find it hard to adapt so quickly to a scene. The problem is, many improv games are quite difficult. So, I decided I wanted to bring more of that into my classroom. It looked like they were having an awesome time on that show. I grew up watching Wayne, Colin, Ryan, and Drew play games and show off their amazing creativity. If you read my last article, you may have realized that I am a big fan of Whose Line.
