Solo mime: Students work individually, but simultaneously with whole group. The students act out a situation. For example, "You are Little Miss Muffet looking for a place to sit and eat. Keep in mind, the spider was just there..." I'd use this activity during a social studies lesson. The objective would be to put the students in the place of a person/people we're learning about. Example: Indians vs Pilgrims.
Conflicting messages (fluency/expression): Students say a line differently than what the words convey. For example: "I am happy." (spoken sadly). This would be great to use when learning about voice, fluency, or expression.
Song skits: Play a piece of music connected to the unit. Students develop a BME (beginning, middle, end) scene. Remind students to make conflict in the beginning and resolution in the end. I could use this activity for any subject, but it'd most likely be used to retell a story, sequence of events, or main ideas lesson.
