In this speaking activity, students mime the actions leading up to something they are going
to do. Teams watch their mime and try to guess what they are going to do.

Before class, make one copy of the worksheet and cut it up as indicated.

Procedure

Demonstrate the activity by choosing one of the mime cards and miming the actions you
would do in preparation for the action marked on the card, but don't do the action itself. Stop
just before the action and ask the class 'What am I going to do?' Have the students guess
using the phrase: You're going to...

Divide the class into two teams (A and B).

Tell the students that they are going to take it in turns to do similar mimes for the other
students to guess.

Decide which team is going to play first and ask them to choose a student to do the first
mime. Remind them they must stop just before the action and say, "What am I going to do?"

Give the first player a mime card and explain to the class that, when he or she freezes, only
the members of his or her team are allowed to call out an answer.

Team members should consult before answering. If the player's team gives the wrong
answer, the other team is allowed to guess.

Teams score one point for a correct answer.

Continue until all the mime cards have been used. The team with the highest score is the
winner.

If you think your students may be embarrassed to mime in front of the whole class, let them
do the activity in small teams.
