Pantomime: 'What do you like?

Play the game in 2 groups. One pupil from each group comes to the board and mimes a hobby. The other group tries to guess the hobby. If they guess correctly, they win one point. At the end of the game, the group with the most points is the winner.

You can choose among the hobbies on pages 25 and 26 or you can mime another hobby. Can your classmates find it? To find the hobby, ask: "Do you like........................?" To answer, say: "Yes, I do" or "No, I don't".

Can you think of other hobbies and mime them?
