We have a short week at school coming up, and there will not be a written assignment for next week. Instead, students are asked to prepare a charade of a book, movie or TV show to present to the class by Wednesday. Students are asked to think creatively for pantomines that are unique, but still would be known by all. Thinking back to books and movies that were popular a while ago would be helpful. I’ve been doing this warm up with my other drama classes, and kids are getting titles like “The Hunger Games” after the word “The”!

We did go over the rules of charades in class, but here’s a WikiHow just in case. Skip to Step 7, because the first ones don’t apply. There’s other stuff online, too, if you need more help.
