Students stand behind each other in a line.
The last student in line draws a piece of paper containing a word /or phrase such as singing or dancing (e.g. singing, dancing, …see list of words below…).
This student has to use gestures (and if needed facial expressions) to enact the word. The next student in line is the only person to see the enactment.
As soon as the second student believes to have understood, they will also enact the word and show the next person in line. This step is repeated until it reaches the last student.
The last student has to answer which word/phrase has been enacted. If the answer is correct, the group gets a point.
After that, the student moves to the back of the line and the steps 2 to 5 are repeated.
The game can be played casually but also competitively. It is possible to divide the class into several groups and to count their respective scores. Another possibility is to compare the scores over a certain period of time, e. g. once a week, to keep track of progress by having small warm-up sessions at the start of a lesson.
