Game – Charades
This activity is designed to be taught with Exercise 4, "The Weekend."
Time: 20 minutes. This activity reviews the vocabulary for any activity or situation that was presented in Units 13–16. This game can also be adapted to use with any other unit or units.
- Students form groups. Each group thinks of several situations (e.g., ordering in a restaurant; eating an ice cream cone; talking about the size of a fish that got away; refusing an invitation) – one situation for each member of the group to mime.
- Groups take turns miming or acting out their situations in front of the class. Remind each group not to speak while performing their situation; they can only nod their heads when a group guesses the situation correctly. The other groups call out their guesses (e.g., "You're ordering a meal in a restaurant." "You're refusing an invitation to go somewhere.") Keep score on the board: Each group that guesses correctly gets one point.
