* Ask Ss to watch me and guess what I am doing. * Mime a simple action and encourage Ss to call out what I am doing in present continous tense: e.g. " You are wearing your jacket." * When Ss have guessed what I am doing, tell them they will play a similar game in teams. * Give Ss clear instructions of the game: - Divide the class into two teams. - Each team choose one actor to mime for the other team once. - The chosen actor pick blindly an action card from the box and mime it for the other team and ask them: "what am I doing?" - The asked team must say the exact words written on the mime card to win. - Remind Ss that they should guess the mimed action and say it in a complete present continuous sentence. - The game goes on one alternately between the two teams until the box runs out of cards. - The winner team is the team that could guess the larger number of cards.
