Introduction
In this game the performers must start every sentence with a new letter from the alphabet. For example, Alphabetical order is required. But I don’t know the alphabet.
Description
This handle is as straight forward as it’s introduction. The handle can be worked with any number of performers. The audience benefits from a bit of emphasis on the letter starting the sentence. Most of the time the scene ends in 26 sentences. While this is not necessary it makes for another fun challenge in the handle.
One need not start the alphabet at A. Using an audience member’s name to get the starting letter is common. For example, audience member Jane indicates the first sentence starts with the letter J and the last sentence starts with the letter I. X, Y, Z, and Q are fun letters that give the audience great joy.
Gimmicks

- backwards alphabet – Z to A.
- add numbers 0 to 9 after Z.
Variations
- Aphabet Cookies – letters in random order. Cookies optional.
- Competitive – Players can be eliminated for messing up the alphabet.

- Add Numbers — After reaching Z, continue with numbers 0 to 9.
- Alphabet Cookies — Letters are used in random order instead of sequential.
- Alphabet Game for kids — Works with children who know the alphabet, doubling as improv practice and alphabet learning.
- Backwards Alphabet — Proceed from Z to A instead of A to Z.
- Competitive — Players are eliminated if they mess up the alphabet order.
- More players — Having more than two players can be confusing, but an extra player standing offstage ready to step in for a single line if someone freezes can be a graceful safety net.
- Onomatopoeia Gimmick — Use an onomatopoeia word that starts with the required letter.
- Player switch mid-game — After the full forward alphabet, two fresh players can take over for the backwards round, making the transition seamless as part of the scene.
