This works best as a starter to a class of improv games. It provides a bit more structure, allowing kids to ease into it and be a bit freer in other improv theatre games! This works best if you can project it on the wall. Make sure you have the teacher handout so that you can see in advance how many people are needed for each sketch. Get the right number of volunteers for each before showing the card. (Smiley faces indicate how many people!)

Family Tree: In small groups, children use the cards as clues in order to organise the pictures in a family tree. An element of competition can be added, making the first team to solve how all the people are related the winner. This takes a bit of preparation, but if you laminate it, you can reuse it many times. This can be used with young children or ESL learners of many ages.
