Let's play!

Pantomime: "What am I doing?"

Play the game in 2 groups. One pupil from each group comes to the board and mimes a job in the house.

The other group tries to guess the job. 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 from the jobs in your book or you can mime another job. Can your classmates find it? To find the job, ask:

"Are you........................ -ing?". To answer, say: "Yes, I am" or "No, I'm not".

Can you think of other jobs and mime them?
