List of simple messages

Instructions

Everyone should split into teams of about four to six players.
Adjust the sizes as you need to, depending on your group.
Each team should line up one behind the other, facing the same direction. Remember to leave 2m of space between each person.
The person leading the game should ask the last person in each team to turn around to face them, and take a few steps away from their team.
The person leading the game should give each person a simple message, for example, ‘I love apples’, ‘we’re going rock climbing’, or ‘we need to tidy up’.
You don’t need to give all the teams the same message. You could make the messages relate to an activity or theme you’ll be doing.
The players should return to their place in the line.
The player with the message should call the name of the person in front of them. The person in front of them should turn around, and the player with the message should mime their message using actions and facial expressions - they can’t say any words or use any noises.
When the player in front of them thinks they’ve got it, they should turn around to call the name of the person in front of them and repeat step six.
The message should travel all the way up the line, one person at a time.
Once they’ve seen the mime, the person at the front of the line should tell everyone what they think the message might be.
The person at the back of the line should tell the person at the front of the line if they’re right. Did the message change much?
