Here’s my effort:

Moody Gesture

Students take turns presenting a gesture or emotion (whether they volunteer for the group or take turns is optional). The rest of the class has to guess what they are trying to gesture. When people get it right they need to indicate what it was in the gesutre that made them think that - the hand movements, facial expression, focus, etc. If the class doesn’t guess correctly the player describes what they were trying to do and what they were trying to use to do it. For example…

Appalled - looking shoked, shaking head in disappointment

Baffled/bemused - hands up with shrugging shoulders, eyebrows up, looking down, running hands throguh hair

Choking - handsat throat, tongue sticking out, pointing at back

Dizzy - hand p to steady, wide eyes, serious expression

Exasperated…
