Instructions to set up the activity
At first everyone stands in a circle. The question "What is a dream job?" will be answered through different ideas of students. The students then begin to brainstorm different jobs. After having talked about the various jobs and what they do, the students will find gestures for each job. After they have been practiced together, the game can start.
Person A says: My name is ... and my dream job is ... (he/she does the gestures practiced before)
Person B says: Is your dream job a ...?
Person A says: Yes/No.
Person A says: What is your name and what is your dream job?
Person B says: My name is ... and my dream job is ... (Person B thereby takes the place of Person A)
