Giving advice is always fun. Pretend to cough and ask students what you should do. Elicit answers such as, “Drink a glass of water,” or “Use a cough drop.” Write various ailments on pieces of paper and give them to students—and tell them not to show the paper to anyone else. The student will act out the problem and the rest of the students will guess what’s wrong, and then offer solutions.
Possible ailments:
Fever
Cold
Headache
Sprained ankle
Runny nose
Sore muscle
Back pain
Allergies
Hiccups
Mild burn
