This game is played in small groups in front of classroom, and the onlooking groups participate, too.

One team comes to the front and lines up.

All but the one in the back of the line covers their eyes and waits for a tap on the shoulder.

• teacher reveals a flashcard picture. (example: apple)
• student #1 mimes apple to student #2, who turns around and taps #3's shoulder & mimes what he has seen. and on and on until last student.
• last student says out loud, "Would you like some/a ____?"
• if they're right, the class says, "Yes, Please!"
• if they're wrong, class says "No, thanks!" and then answers the appropriate response: "Would you like some/a ____?"
  

The students really seemed to enjoy this game. The entire class got to participate, and they loved seeing their classmates act silly trying to figure out what they were miming. I will DEFINITELY play this game again when vocabulary & key phrase make it a viable game!

P.S. my students are TERRIBLY AWFUL mimes! sometimes that made the outcome more hilarious! easy ones, hard ones here are some of my favorite ones:
