I need ideas on a stupid project due Monday!!?

Question

I have to do a project that's due Monday and I have to tell "my story." The only directions my teacher gave was to tell our story by either singing, dancing, showing pics, etc. What should I do? I'm planning on doing charades or miming but can someone give me ideas? How would I charade or mime my life? For example, what should I do to indicate I was born on January 5th without saying words?

Answer 1

For "born" you could pretend to rock a baby in your arms.

Then do the number thing. "Count to 12" to show you're doing months. Then hold up one finger for January. When they get that, hold up 5 fingers for the day.

The charades is a fun idea because it will get the class involved. Your teacher should like it.

Answer 2

Just tell the story with the pictures. Maybe draw some of your own as well.

Answer 3

Why not use a few props, like a calendar and a baby doll?

Answer 4

Since you cannot make a sound you must mime the crying bit. Do this.

I'm assuming day/month/year format.

Then stand, extend your right hand upward with all five fingers extended representing the fifth day.

Take two steps sideways to your left and extend your left hand upward with just one finger extended representing the first month.

Take two steps sideways to your left and extend your right hand upward with the number of fingers representing the first digit of the year of your birth (one if in the 1900's), at the same time extend your left hand upwards with the number of fingers representing the second digit of the year of your birth.

Next take one only step sideways to your left and extend your right hand upward with the number of fingers representing the third digit of the year of your birth, at the same time extend your left hand upwards with the number of fingers representing the fourth digit of the year of your birth.

If they do not understand it then tough but get it right if you do it at all.
