For All Teachers

Daniel Will-Harris

I'm a writer, designer and performer based in Los Angeles. My background is in musical theater. My writing method "Write In The Now" has been taught in Canada, Australia, China, Japan and the USA. It helps thousands of artists break through creative blocks.

Starts With A…

Everyone sitting or standing in a circle.
The teacher says a letter of the alphabet.
Around the circle, in order, each person names one word starts with a particular letter of the alphabet. When a participant can no longer think of a word, everyone applauds.
The participant who was stumped gets to choose a new letter and it continues with the new letter.

VARIATIONS: Instead of a letter, you choose a place, such as a Pet Store, or a Doctor’s Office, a Restaurant, Garage… wherever. Then the participants think of as many things as they can that would be found in this location.
