Improvise

To improvise means to come up with ideas or make things up on the spot without planning ahead, like when you make up a song or a game while playing with friends.

Examples

• During our camping trip, the rain started pouring, so we had to improvise a fun game inside the tent using only a flashlight and some old cards.
• While working on our science project, we realized we were missing some materials, so we had to improvise and use recycled items we found around the house.
