 Mime time
A mime in drama is creating the illusion of objects around you
with the use of body language and facial expressions without
the use of speech. These scenarios can be used during a
formal drama lesson or a quick brain break which is essential
for focus and learning. Encourage your students to
accentuate their body language and use facial expression.

Included in this product are 48 colored and black and white

scenarios. To make it easier for you to organize your
students into groups, a number on the corner of each
scenario card recommends how many should be in the group.
Helpful hints on each scenario are included to help your
students create quality performances. You can give the same
scenario to all of your groups or hand out individual ones to
each group. It is recommended to give the students at least
15 minutes to rehearse and then select all/some groups to
perform.
To encourage audience participation, allow your class to
guess what they think the scenario was about.
