WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

STRUCTURE OF THE GAME

Players stand in a circle with enough room to move their

elbows. Player One steps forward and begins miming an

activity, any activity such as shearing a sheep. Player Two, to

the right asks player One, ‘What are you doing?’ Player One is

to answer without hesitating with the first action which comes

to mind OTHER than the one they are doing i.e. tying my

shoelaces. Player Two then begins doing the thing announced

by player One and is asked by player three ‘What are you

doing?’

Comment: Teacher can pre-teach simple actions with

flashcards/drawings and use these to keep the game fluid.

Alternatively compile the actions beforehand form the kids

suggestions.
