As Mr. Rogers said, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” Play also is an excellent source of connection, socialization, and stress relief. But to the kids, learning improv is simply plain FUN! During our Zoom meeting, Pam leads the kids through several remote-friendly improv games, including at least one demo of an improv-based game that kids can play with their families in order to share the fun and laughter. Virtual Happier Kids Improv is appropriate both for kids who love improv and those who have never heard of improv before but are up for trying something new. Get your giggles ready because there will be LOTS OF LAUGHTER! Self-expression will soar, cheeks will hurt from smiling, and friends will applaud for each other.
Let’s laugh and play!
