Cultivating Trust by Playing Alphabet Improv

A quick activity that makes space for middle school students to let down their guard and be vulnerable with each other primes them for learning.

“Ahhhh, you can’t catch me!” shouts a 7th-grade student in theater teacher Todd A. Rollé’s movement class at Arts and Letters United 305 in Brooklyn, New York. Her partner looks confused and responds, “But why?” and the class erupts in laughter. The students are playing alphabet improv, a theater game that serves the dual purpose of helping cultivate trust and build classroom community while also sharpening working memory.
