Students take turns miming academic content, which is then guessed by the other students.
The method trains students to translate academic content into physical expression.
Students receive or create sentences, words, concepts, or similar within a given topic. One sentence/word/concept per post-it note.
The students individually draw one post-it.
The student gets thinking time.
The student mimes the content for the group or class.
The group/class guesses until they have guessed correctly or time runs out.
Repeat from step 2 until there are no more post-its or time runs out.
The method can advantageously be done in groups so that more students are engaged.
If it is too difficult for a student to mime what is written on the slip, the student can optionally draw a new one.
