Activity Description
The trainees were divided into two teams. During each round, one team selected a movie title or song name and shared it secretly with a participant from the opposing team. The selected participant had to enact the given movie or song title using only gestures, facial expressions, and body language without speaking or making any sounds.
The remaining members of the participant’s team observed the actions carefully and tried to guess the correct movie or song title within the given time limit. Points were awarded for correct guesses, and the teams competed in a friendly and enthusiastic manner throughout the activity.
The activity required creativity, quick thinking, teamwork, and effective non-verbal communication. Students actively engaged in the game, making the session lively and enjoyable.
