Pantomime Telephone

This game is played similar to regular telephone.
Regular telephone: Children sit in a line and pass on a sentence whispering in each others ears. Then you see how the sentence has changed from beginning to end.

Pantomime telephone-
Children sit or stand in a line and pass on a pretend object with pantomime.
Congratulate them if the object remains the same from beginning to end.

ex.
pass on a baseball and bat
an apple
a water bottle
necklace
cell phone
a kitten
a piece of gum

encourage them to pass it on and act out what it is the best they can. when the other person thinks they know what the object is and is ready to pass in on themselves they should shake there heads yes and put out their hands to take the object.

Variation:
You can give teams points when they get it right.
You can make this into a relay by splitting up the teams. (whoever guesses the object correctly and/or first wins.)
