    Game: guessing film, film, song or book titles.
    song or book titles (group
    work) Procedure
    Divide the students into two teams.
    Focus
    A player from one team comes up to the front of the class.
    Film, song or book titles
    Give the player a film, song or book title to act out. You can
    whisper the title or write it on a piece of paper and hand it to the
    Aim player.
    To review and practice Choose someone from the other team to be the timekeeper and
    previously taught set a time limit of three minutes.
    vocabulary or film, song
    or book titles. The player starts by indicating which category the title belongs to
    by using one of the following gestures:

    Preparation Film title: Pretend to crank an old-fashioned film camera.


    Song title: Pretend to sing.
    Think of film, song or Book title: P ut the palms of the hands together and then open

    students.
    Next, the player indicates which word they want to start miming
    by showing that number of fingers, e.g. the player holds up two
    Level fingers for the second word.

    Pre-intermediate (A2-B1) The player shows the number of syllables in the word by laying a
    corresponding number of fingers on their arm.

    Time The player then starts miming the word.

    30 minutes When a teammate calls out the correct word, the player points at
    that student and nods their head to indicate 'yes'.

    If the player wants to mime the whole title at once, they indicate
    this by sweeping their arms in a big circle.

    If the player's team guesses the title within three minutes, they
    score a point.

    It's then the other team's turn to play and so on. The team with
    the most points at the end of the game wins.

    It's a good idea to practice all the gestures with the class before
    they play the game. Other gestures include:

    Sounds like: Cup one hand behind your ear.


    Past tense: Wave your hand over your shoulder toward your back.
    Short word: Bring your thumb and index finger close together.
