Explain in your own words how to play.

- No words can be spoken or the paper can be shown to anyone.

As I mentioned earlier, I took the help of my older sister to play this game. She wrote the names of various animals, superheroes, and expressions on some papers that we don't know. But of course, my older sister wrote the names of these based on the child's age. The reason I wrote them with a third person is so that I can fully understand the child's expression by looking at it. If I had written the names on this paper, I would have understood his expression right from the beginning. So if you want to play this game, take the help of a third person like me.
First, you need to cut some paper into pieces of a certain size. Then, you need to write the names of different animals, emojis, and superheroes on the papers with a pen.
Once you have finished writing, fold them neatly and store them in a box. Later, from here, the pieces of paper have to be picked through lottery.
The child will pick up a piece of paper from the box and read what is written on it but will not show it to anyone else.
He will try to convey it only through expressions, body gestures and acting. The second player or guesser will guess what character, animal or emoji he is acting by looking at his expressions.
If the guesser can give the correct answer, he will get 1 point.
Next time the second person will be the performer and the child will be the guesser.
The one who gets the most points at the end of the specified time will be the winner!
How did you feel playing, was it fun?
I enjoyed playing this game very much. I have played this type of game before. Although that game was with many children. Today I played the game with only one person so it took less time but when I play with the neighbor children on the roof it lasts longer and is more enjoyable. I don't need to say whether it was fun or not because I have already expressed my happiness to you. This game is an ideal game to increase the creativity, skills and attention of children. We played this type of game regularly during the COVID-19 lockdown with all the family members, and it was really fun. today, playing this game reminded me of many previous experiences and memories, which was really funny.
What was the easiest mime to imitate and what was the most difficult for the child?
I asked my seven-year-old nephew which imitation he found easiest. Since he is a child and cries regularly, he found it easier to express himself with a crying emoji. I was also able to catch his crying very easily. He was very happy playing this game and I was quite surprised by his skill as he explained all the animals, superheroes and emojis to me very nicely. However, the difficult one for him was Iron Man. Although he tried to explain it very nicely, since I am not particularly familiar with superheroes, I did not catch at first that he was doing the Iron Man character show. The most interesting thing was that later he gave me a video of it where it was clearly understood that Iron Man is shooting lasers with his hand like this. To play with children, you must be aware of their favourite characters. To be honest, he guessed the Iron Man character and said since the first two characters were wrong, I said this name. My nephew told me that Iron Man is his favourite character, but he was a little upset because I didn't understand it right away.

It is awesome. Good luck with the contest.
Thank you so much my friend.
I really loved it. Good luck 🤞
Es una interesante dinámica con los niños que disfrutan mucho y a su vez aprenden. Sin dudas Iron Man a calado mucho en sus gustos,.
El uso de expresiones corporales y mímicas son un lenguaje universal, al mismo tiempo se establece con los niños un poder comunicacional mayor, pues una expresión corporal o gesto dice más que mil palabras.
Gracias por compartir, te deseo mucho éxito..!
