How Improv Changed Our Lives (and can change yours too)

Get up, get moving, and improve your ability to communicate and adapt to change (and maybe even laugh!). More than just a set of 'funny games', improv is an exercise in making the best with whatever you have. Improvisation is a skill set that is proven to increase brain connectivity, boost creativity and confidence, decrease stress, anxiety, and uncertainty intolerance, and can provide valuable skills that will help you lead your 4-H Club, do well in your relationships, work, and life. This hour will include moving, sitting, writing, talking, thinking, playing, and maybe even a little laughter and ridiculousness. Come play some games with us!
