What we did with nouns--Act them!

S.A.P. #10

Just this recent Thursday we began our new lesson non-verbal communication and it was here our teacher assigned us to do an activity: guessing the word the 'actress' is conveying.
So the mechanics went like this:
The group has to guess as many nouns as possible, with one of the members doing the acting while the rest guesses and all of this has to be done in three minutes. The group that has many guesses wins.
The words like 'horror', 'confusion', 'bitterness', 'bravery', 'hope', 'tension' and more were, to me, not act-able, as I found it hard to do 'horror' without screaming at the top of my lungs and crawling around like Sadako in 'The Ring' and 'hope' turned out to be a joke as I tried 'look hopeful' while having slightly wistful but silly eyes, my hands clasped together in my chest like a hopeless nutcase.

I know this was in all due fun, as I was laughing my head off, both because of my clumsy acting and from the other group's really aggressive take on trying to guess what she was acting about.

I remember a similar thing that my cousin, my brother and I did this last Christmas. We have named the game 'Daring Consequence', because we mixed the 'Dare' in Truth or Dare and Consequence because we have to act what was said in the slip of paper which we will pick at a random pile.
It was just the three of us, but it was a hell lot of fun. I remembered trying to act like the ugly duckling, quacking and trying to look ugly to them and one of them guessed I was trying to be a cow(seriously? a cow quacking?). We laughed our heads off when we saw our brother dancing almost like Micheal Jackson while singing Kesha's song 'We r who we r!' and my cousin clapping his hands in a weird manner and we couldn't guess what he was trying to portray. 'I was a scissor!' he told us, then we hollered at this maniacally.

Life is good.
