  12. Rules of Charades • Divide class into two teams. • Classmates will take turns acting out one of the words they blindly pick out of the hat. • Students will have 30 seconds to act out their vocabulary word while their team guesses. • The actor cannot use any sounds, only body movements • If the team is able to guess the word within 30 seconds, they get a point. • If after 30 seconds does not guess correctly, the other team gets a chance to steal. • The team with the most points wins.

  13. Reflection • Did using drama help you learn your new vocabulary words? Why or why not? List at least one theatre term you used during your turn during charades and howyou used it.
