"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 our friends will be there. Yes, and we could order pizza. Yes, and it could be cheese pizza. 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."
