Practice drama by going to a shop and performing a real shop heist then when in jail explain it was part of your coursework you will benifit from the realism of the event and it will nuture your acting into that of a hollywood star.

I would worn against you whose line is it anyway idea, its a very funny show but some people ie drama teachers lol think its not actually very good improvisation. I would just play park bench or what are you doing? (if you dont know what these games are just say) and maybe start off with a game of gunslinger, I can think of no better game to warm people up. I wouldn't worry about maybe treating your gf and brother differently, if you do you may try and over compensate.

for me- you have a scarf or something and the kids have to pass it round the room saying 'this is for you' 'for me?' 'yes, for you' 'thank you'
they have to show what the scarf is supposed to be, but cannot say anything apart from the set 'for me' etc.
or you could play the ball game- the ball is invisible so it can be any size or shape, and must have a noise to go with it.
however, it depends on the ages- some kids get bored and just do exactly the same thing, with the noise 'ahh'.
