Have them communicate without seeing each other (back to back). Flash pics on
the screen and they have to describe while the listener draws or chooses from a
master list of pics. That way they can't rely on gestures.

Help! One of my classes has backslid. Since break, they seem to communicate
exclusively in nouns, not a verb to be heard! I thought I had brought them back
in gently with games of telephone and rock/paper/scissors that reinforced vocab
and community. And then I noticed that they are telling stories and thoughts
and opinions in noun + pantomime form, even when they have the verbs (and i
mean HAVE the verbs, not just covered the verbs).
Ideas of where to go next? What is missing - a good hook?
