- Prepare two sets of flashcards, half with ~ing verbs and half with emotions
- Nominate a student to come to the front and select one card from each set
- The student mimes the phrase and the class has to guess the emotion and ~ing verb
- For example: She is angry/swimming or He is sleepy/dancing
Have students come up and mime the cards as a group to make them feel more comfortable
Students are often reluctant to be the 'mimer' but will feel more comfortable if they can participate as a group. Correct the students as they shout out their answers.
