Why don't we start by let's pretend you girls are going to play in a castle and why don't
you do "Yes...and" describing the whole environment you're going to play in and what characters
you're going to be and stuff like that. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So just develop
that whole idea and anything you say is ok. You'll see how this goes, kids are good at
it. So let's try this "Yes...and", Marina why don't you give the first idea----But I
thought we were going to party planning? You want to do party planning first? Let's throw
that party in a castle for your classes at school. How about that? Ok, very good. So
you want to start this thing? Nice and loud so the camera can get you. Let's make a castle
and a forest. Yes, and we'll throw a party. Yes, and there could be a huge a moat. Yes,
and there could be dangerously poisonous crocodiles in the moat. Yes, and we can dress up Gordon
as Superman. Yes, and we can pretend that we're the Queen of Ireland. Yes, and all of
Yes, and it could pepperoni. Ok! We seem to be kind of happy with the end result of that
party. So, in about 30 seconds or so, we have a party in the forest in the castle with a
moat with dangerously poisonous crocodiles in it where we're going to have both cheese
pizza and pepperoni pizza and all of our friends from school. Did I get most of your things
in there? Yeah, yeah. That's a fine party, I would attend that party. Now the way they
built that so quickly with so many fun ideas is the same way a professional improv scene
is built. You accept the ideas. You build one upon the next and it kind of takes off
like a locomotive. Is that a fun game to play? Absolutely. Yeah, you like that one? Yeah,
and you?ll like it too. Play it with your family and friends. We'll see you in the next
clip. This is Lucia, Marina and Les and we think you should go play with others. Go play
and then go find another clip and learn another improv game. We'll see yeah. Bye.
