Fundamental I

1st MOMENT:

– Presentation

Teacher, put the students in a circle and start by saying your name and a little about yourself. Then ask each student to share information about themselves, such as: name, age, hobbies, something unusual and funny they did on vacation.

2ND MOMENT:

– Mime dynamics

Objective: To stimulate creativity, teamwork and knowledge about the activities that children usually do during the holidays.

How it works:

1 – Division of Groups:

● Divide the class into 3 or 4 groups, depending on the number of students.
● Each group will be in a different area of the room.

2 – Activity Explanation:

● Explain to the students that one person from each group will do a mime, representing an activity that is usually done during the holidays, such as traveling, going to the beach, playing in the park, visiting relatives, etc.
● The rest of the group will be responsible for trying to guess what is being represented, but without using words or sounds, just gestures and body expressions.

3 – Examples of Mime Activities:

● Swimming in the pool
● Travel by plane
● Play football
● Playing with friends in the park
● Go to the movies
● Ride a bike
● Visiting grandparents or relatives

4 – How to Play:

● The student who is going to do the mime must think of a holiday activity (among those you suggested or others that he or she chooses) and represent it only with gestures and expressions.
● The rest of the group has 1 minute to try to guess what their partner is imitating.
● Each group has 2 to 3 minutes to mime and guess.

5 – Variation (Optional):

● If any group manages to guess, they can mime it to the other group, and so on. The group that guesses the most activities correctly wins!

6 – Finalization:

● At the end, you can have a short chat about the different ways to enjoy the holidays and what each person likes to do most during this period.
