Target Students:

Target Students:

Duration:

10-20 minutes

Number of Students:

Any

English Skills:

Grammar

Objective:

Act out emotion and verb flashcards to create crazy combinations

Instructions

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

Variations

Have students come up and mime the cards as a group to make them feel more comfortable

Notes

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.
