Play the traditional game of statues. All the children stand up and dance or move around to some lively music. When the music stops, they have to stand completely still or else they are eliminated from the game. Stop the game to show the children how to mime various adjectives. Call out an adjective (e.g. strong) and find a gesture (or facial expression) which you all feel indicates that adjective. All make the gestures together and call out, We are strong! after each of them. Play the game again calling out different adjectives each time the children dance around. When the music stops, they have to stand completely still making the appropriate gesture (and possibly shouting out, We are ). This can also be done with one student making a sculpture out of another student while the music is playing. The sculpture must indicate some sort of feeling or emotion or adjective. Then, the class tries to guess what word the sculptor was thinking of.
