Lesson Topic
Characters without sound
Lesson Outline
Jason and I did some character work.

We took turns acting out famous characters without making any sounds. I would choose three characters for him, or he would choose three for me centered around a theme.

The actor would then act like one of the 3 characters without making any sounds and try to get the non-actor to guess who they were acting as.

Jason had a vivid reenactment of Santa that included carrying a sack over his should, climbing up into a sleigh, and then driving the reindeer. He also had some fun ideas for characters that I could act out.
