Movement/Pantomime UnitLesson 4 - Day Two of Pantomime StoriesEducational Objective: Students will demonstrate their understanding of the basics of pantomime by performing their pantomime activities and participating in discussions afterward.Hook:(Because I found this to be necessary) Have a journal prompt written on the board when students enter the room.Journal Entry:What can I do today to be a good audience member for the pantomime performers?Transition:Remind students of how their performances will be graded. Remind students of the setup of the performances.Lead a few physical warmups.Performances:Have students perform their pantomime activities, same as last time.Activity:To reward students for 1. performing their pantomime activities and 2. getting through everyone’s performances (which is actually quite difficult) we will play a pantomime game.BING:Four volunteers are needed (one eye-witness and three detectives). Detectives are sent out of the room. The class chooses three things about a murder (VICTIM’S OCCUPATION, LOCATION OF THE MURDER, AND THE WEAPON) that has taken place (the one that the eye witness saw). Eye-witness must pantomime these things to the first detective. When he thinks he gets it, he has to say BING and do a hand motion above their head (like a lightbulb has gone off) (no guesses out loud, no asking for hints, the eye-witness just has to keep trying different ways until the detective thinks they get it). Once he has said BING to all three things, HE has to act it out for the next detective. Same rules apply. It’s like the telephone game mixed with pantomime. After all three detectives have been told what happened, the last one tells the class what they think happened in an official sounding police report. An example of one the three things the class might choose: occupation - batman, location - in a donut shop, murder weapon - killed by poison.So there is no talking at all, except for the BING that the detective said for each clue. I found it helpful to write down the three categories on the board so that the person who is pantomiming knows what comes next.I also will pick the first four volunteers, but I will allow five seconds for them to choose their replacement for the next round.
