This is a game that I used to play with my family when I was younger. Its perfect for medium to large groups of intermediate level students and above, it gets the students up and out of their seats and its funny. Really funny.

The game is simple, you ask one/two students to leave the class room, or just go somewhere where they cannot hear the rest of the group. Then you and the group work together to come up with an interesting adverb.

When you have thought of a good adverb you bring the student(s) back into the classroom. They must then request a some of the students, it can be 1 student or maybe 2-3... to preform some action in the form of this adverb.

The chosen students come to the front of the class and mime the action in the form of the adverb.

eg, the adverb is "slowly", the request is "pretend to eat dinner", the chosen student mimes the action of eating dinner very slowly.

The student(s) who had to leave must guess the correct adverb from the action preformed. He/she/they can re-request other students to preform other actions until the correct adverb is guessed. *hints maybe required

Wow, that took longer to explain then I though it would. It is allot of fun, and my students love it. Maybe yours will too!

Sounds like fun, and a bit like the game called Charades in the United States.

Younger students are often more open and playful than older students. Since I tend to teach adults and university students, the game of 21 questions for nouns (people, places, things) has worked well. But your game sounds like a lot more fun!
