Mime your past

1. Ask students to prepare to do a mime based on some past experience.
2. One of the students does the mime, stopping after each action. Ask the other students to say what s/he did. Here they may be trying to describe something that is clear to them, or they may be hypothesizing about what the student intended to convey.
3. Pair the students and get A to mime the incident to B. Go round helping anyone who is stuck for words.
4. Now ask B to replay orally the scene described by A.
