Ever wondered how comedy shows come together? It’s not just about quick wit – it’s about collaboration skills That’s a fancy way of saying teamwork! Just like a bunch of funny ideas turn into a laugh-out-loud show, a group of kids working together can create something truly amazing Here are our top tips for making an environment where ideas can become great things in our world

Yes, And Let’s Make Something Awesome!

Imagine this: you and your friends are building a giant fort out of blankets and pillows One person throws in an idea – a secret tunnel! You could just say, “Nah, that won’t work” But that wouldn’t be very collaborative, would it? Instead, improv teaches us the magic of “Yes, And” This means taking someone’s idea and building on it So, you might say, “Yes, and the tunnel leads to a treasure room!” Suddenly, your fort goes from cool to epic! This “Yes, And” approach is a superpower in teamwork It lets everyone’s ideas shine and creates something even better than anyone imagined alone

: : HOT TIP : : Try adding a “no” jar when you collaborate with others, where anyone who says no has to do a forfeit like jumping jacks or push-ups!

Make Listening your Superpower!

Collaboration isn’t just about being the one shouting out your cool ideas, it’s about super-powered listening! Think about it[..]
