Each student gets and index card, on one side they must write the names of two fake people. Real or fictitious, dead or alive - ex. Harrison Ford and Mickey Mouse.

 

On the other side of the card the students write two animals. 

 

Students musically mingle around the room and then stop when the teacher gives instructions for what to do next - ex. shake hands, give a compliment, favorite food, etc.

 

Students take turns acting like the animals on the cards without sound.  The other person guesses the animal and then they exchange cards.

 

Music starts again and students mingle.  When music stops students find new partner and then act out their people on the cards.

 

They may not use proper names.  The other student guesses who the character is.
