Some improv games call for an action to start the scene, a job or occupation to define a character, or a location to get them started. Here are fifty location prompts you can use to set the scene for your student actors. You can also use them as writing prompts for a playwriting exercise. You can find fifty more prompts in the giveaway at the bottom of this page. Have fun!
