Silent skit ideas for drama class?
In my drama class, we need to create a silent skit without using words or props. The skit should depict everyday activities, relying entirely on facial expressions and actions to convey what we're doing to the audience. Examples could include tasks like washing a dog or completing a homework assignment. It has to be funny, performed by just one person, and it’s due tomorrow. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You know how you sometimes find a piece of hair that got missed the last time you got your hair cut?
You could show finding it and then getting the scissors and trimming a little bit, but then you cut too much, so you have to even out the other side and next thing you know you’re getting the razor and shaving your whole head.
Do an everyday event gone wrong. I once did a pantomime, and I was going on a picnic. After miming out the basic things you do at a picnic, a bee came. I swatted it away, but it came back. And the more came. I ran around the stage and eventually hid under my picnic blanket to protect myself from the swarm.
Other ideas: baking something (funny if you’re confident at the beginning and then, it becomes a disaster) or flying a kite.
Have fun! Stay consistent with the size of the objects you use and where you put them down! Pantomiming is so difficult, no matter now simple it seems.
I pretending like I was cooking some burgers…then “dropped” one on the floor…brushed it off and gave it to my “pretend” friend standing up there with me (in which i put my hood up to show that i was the new person and “ate the dirty burger”. if u play it well you should get a laugh or two. hope it helps!
