If you love doing improv with your kids but want more than just a book of lists to get you started, this is the perfect book for you! Each of these 50 skits starts by giving you the location, the roles, and the premise of the scene. It also provides a suggested running time and lists any props you might want. In addition, each skit offers coaching hints and questions to enhance a follow-up discussion. So where does the character building come in? Each skit is specifically designed to address an important life concept, such as: leadership, teamwork, communication skills, peer pressure, or conflict resolution. This highly readable book also provides an introduction to the Search Institute’s concept of Developmental Assets — 40 positive qualities, skills, experiences, and opportunities that strongly influence how successful adolescents will be in life — and reveals how to build the values behind these assets into each skit. Finally, this user-friendly text offers a 20 page Facilitator’s Guide loaded with helpful general suggestions about improv as well as comprehensive indices to make the skits easy to find by time, number of players, or developmental asset. Drama directors, classroom teachers, or anyone who works with 12- to 18-year olds will love how these scenarios energize their group and refocus their attention all while instilling and reinforcing positive values.
