Instructions

Explain miming to the colony and leaders demonstrate with the Beavers guessing.
Pair youth members up and secretly giving them a profession card.
Each pair has 2-3 minutes to prepare how they are going to mime their profession to the rest of the group.
Come together and take it in turns to act their mime with the rest of the colony guessing. When everyone has had a go, repeat.
I have found that it works best with a large colony of the colony split into 2 groups for performing.
