Theatre games, word games, improv

I've been enjoying watching "Whose line is it anyway" on youtube and I think it would be fun to play some of the games they use myself. I don't know if anyone here is familiar with these things. Some of them remind me of the piggyback thread strings here using different word/letter series. Anyway, here are a few of them. Do you know any more?

Three people make up a song on a given topic, each taking turns singing one word at a time.

Two people in a given scenario (conflict, of course) must each start their next sentence with a successive letter of the alphabet.

Two people in a given scenario must have a conversation using questions only.

Two people make up a story or have a conversation, singing it to a simple musical structure. Ideally, it rhymes, often in ABCB kind of 4-line verse form.

This is a lot more fun than getting an English degree, for sure.

"Whose line is it anyway" is the ****! I wish I had something to suggest... just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I've been playing the questions game with my husband. Fun, but we get tired fast. Quite challenging! We're both word freaks.
