Lessons & Classroom Games for Teachers

CIRCLE MIME - Short Lesson
By:re

The children sit in a circle. One child stands in the centre and mimes an occupation/animal, etc. The other children try to guess what she is miming by asking, Are you ? The rules of the game are as follows. (1) Any child can ask the question. If her guess is incorrect, she loses one point. If she is correct, both she and the child who is miming get a point and they change places. (2) If three children s guesses are incorrect, the whole class asks What are you? and the child who is miming answers, I m . Nobody gets any points. Another child (possibly the one who is sitting to the left of where the child in the centre was originally sitting) changes place with the child who was miming. (3) The child in the centre cannot mime something that has already been mimed. (4) It is probably a good idea for a child who wants to guess to put her hand up first. When this happens, the child in the centre has to stop miming immediately. If more than one child put their hands up, the teacher (or a child) decides who should ask the question (usually the fastest, but this can be a good chance to cheat a little and let some of the quieter children ask the questions). Or, the children can janken to see who gets to ask first.
