Improv - Ambiguous Dialogs
The idea is simple: Pairs of students are given 6 lines of ambiguous dialog. They think of what the situation can be, then they act it out. This can be quite fun, and students do not need to think of the words, as they are done for them.
There are 4 ambiguous dialogs included, ready to go, as well as act as an example.
