Present Continuous mouth sounds and Present Continuous personal questions

Close your eyes and listen to someone making the sound of one of the things below with their mouths (without doing the action), e.g. “Ha ha ha” for “You are laughing”. You both get two points if you can guess first time just from the noise without opening your eyes. If your first guess is wrong, then open your eyes and watch your partner do the action while they make the noise with their mouth again. You both get one point if you can guess, or your partner will tell you the answer. Your partner then gets one point if you say “Yes, I do” when they ask you a “Do you like …ing (…)?” about the same action. Switch roles and do the same, continuing until your teacher stops the game.

Ask about any actions you don’t understand or can’t think of a noise for.

Do the same game, but this time with one point for “I don’t know” answers to “Do you like…?” after the noise guessing (and no points for “Yes, I do”).
