There are many, MANY different games to play to practice and perform improv. A game's name can differ by region; what we call something on the west coast may not be what they call it in Toronto. The games listed here are ones that we play regularly at THMS drama; a resource like Improv Encyclopedia is very definitive, and worth looking at to find NEW games.
My go-to resource for remembering games as well as discovering new ones. Some are games to get you warmed-up; some have specific points of focus.
