Acting out
In this fun miming game, students review some commonly used phrasal verbs.
Procedure
Divide the class into two teams A and B.
Ask a student from Team A to come to the front, pick up a card and mime the situation.
Students from both teams then try to guess what is being mimed.
The first student to guess correctly scores a point for their team.
A student from Team B then does a mime.
The game continues until all of the cards have been used.
Before the students begin their mimes, they must read out the first sentence on the card,
which tells the teams what information they are looking for.
Note: Some of the mimes are for two people. When two people are needed, it is indicated on
the card.
