Improv Database for teachers

There are people like you and me who get bored and binge-watch Baby Reindeer. When Domenico Gemoli (Dom) gets bored...he builds a database for improvisers. It's a treasure trove for teachers and trainers, jam-packed with all sorts of goodies to spice up your lesson plans.

Whether you're prepping for a workshop or mapping out a whole course, this database has your back. It's got some pretty neat features. You can filter stuff based on the type of activity – warm-ups, short games, long games – you name it. Plus, you can tweak things like group size and skill focus, whether you're honing in on listening skills or spontaneous creativity.

Let's say you're gearing up to teach a big group about listening skills. It's easy peasy—dive into the 'listening' category, grab a couple of whole-group exercises, throw in some partner activities, and wrap it up with some scene work to drive home those skills.

Dom's vision is for this database to be a hub of collaboration, a place where everyone can contribute and benefit. He hopes that more people get involved in the project, turning it into a true community effort. Anyone can chip in with new resources, and once they've been given the thumbs up, they're live on the site for everyone to enjoy.

Here's the cool part: you can build your own lesson plans right here on the website. Dom's has set up a demo lesson to show you what's possible. And hey, once you've crafted your masterpiece, you can print it out or download it – easy peasy.

Oh, and one more thing – you can share your lesson plans too. So if you're out sick or something, no sweat – your colleague can step right in and pick up where you left off.

So, what do you reckon? Please give it a whirl, dive in, and let's make teaching much more fun!
