Teacher tip
Read each body clue aloud while a volunteer acts it out with no words. The class names the feeling before anyone draws a line.
How to use it
- Show a pantomime first, like holding a heavy box, and ask the class what clues they saw.
- Clear a space so kids can move safely.
- Read the box at the top of the sheet together, then try the first item out loud as a class.
Watch for
Using real props. The point is to show the object with hands and body.
Talk about it
- How did you show that the object was heavy or tiny?
- What did you change in your voice or body to show that?
Take it further
Play pantomime charades at the end of the day.
