What’s My Job?

GAMEPLAY
The first player writes down five jobs on a piece of paper, showing their list to no one by placing it face down. The player then pantomimes one of the jobs listed. The rest of the players try to guess what the job is.

Each time the job is guessed correctly, the player moves on to the next thing on their five-item list. This continues for one minute or until all five items are guessed. The game is done when each player has had a chance to perform. Example: Player pantomimes mowing a lawn to indicate the job of gardening, directing traffic for being a police officer,
or cooking for being a chef.
