- Each person will pick one verb from their section and write it on the card.
- Shuffle cards from both teams and place them face down.
- Have each team roll dice to see who goes first.
- The "acting" team takes a card. One member of the team pantomimes the verb.
- To ensure that each student gets a turn, we will go in a clockwise rotation starting with the oldest person.
- The "guessing" team tries to guess the verb being mimed.
- Team members write their guesses on a paper that the other team checks.
- When the guessing team has guessed the word correctly or has made five wrong guesses, the teams switch roles.
