Time: 10 minutes

Skills: Language, mime and movement, creativity

Everyone walks around in the space. Instruct the players that they must move around buzzing and flapping their wings like a bee. The teacher calls out a random letter of the alphabet and everyone has five seconds to make the shape of an object with their body which begins with that letter. After five seconds they should freeze. It doesn't matter how correct the shape is. To make it easier you can also allow them to use verbs and adjectives as well as nouns. So for example if you say the letter ‘T‘ they could choose turtle, tea bag, terrified or tiptoeing.
