The Big Hoo-Haa! plays at the Freo Hotel every Friday except the first Friday of the month (i.e. not this Friday!). We play some short form impro games that are very similar to those played in TheatreSports... come down and have a look!
You can find more details about The Big Hoo-Haa! on this website by going to the what's on section.
In the mean time... from experience I've found that it is essential to make sure the students are know the basic impro skills (offering and accepting, no blocking, yielding, etc) before you implement any formal structure to their classwork (like games structure).
Definitely get hold of the TheatreSports Downunder coaches guide as mentioned above- it is truly invaluable for high school impro teaching.
The DramaWest website is always a good place to start when looking for help with teaching Drama... http://dramawest.iinet.net.au
Good luck- it's a very worthy area to teach! Libby
