Preparation: Verbs written on slips of paper

Aim: To guess the verb from a classmate's mime

Here is an enjoyable miming game to help your students practice verbs and verb forms.

Before you begin, you will need to write verbs on slips of paper. The verbs you use can
cover any form, e.g. irregular verbs, action or state verbs, etc.

Procedure

Split the class into two teams.

Teams take it in turns to act out the verb.

A player from the first team comes to the front of the class and is given a verb.

The player acts out the verb without speaking.

The two teams have to guess the verb the student is acting out.

The first team to guess the verb correctly chooses a team member to go to the board and
write down the three forms of the verb.

Following that, a student from the other team is selected to play, and so on.

Award points for correct answers as well as for the spelling and verb forms on the board.

The team with the most points at the end wins.
