Yes Let's

1970s-present

Ensemble warm-up: one player proposes 'Let's [do something]' and starts doing it; the entire group shouts 'Yes, let's!' and joins in. Continues until everyone contributes a proposal.

Known for

Foundational Acceptance exercise — 'great introduction to Accepting' per Improv Encyclopedia.
Advanced variant 'Yes Let's — Or Rather Not' introduces blocking as a lesson in how it kills energy.
'The Ad Game' is an evolved version where the 'let's' becomes a product campaign.
Works cross-cultural because the mechanic is universal agreement + physical commitment.
