Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You could do Huck Finn, ignoring the official title, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!.

Huck rhymes with duck, acting like a duck or ducking to avoid being hit by a falling object!. (nothing risque & no f-words in class, no doubt)
Finn: Point to feet then make paddling motions with your hands!. Could also act like you're fishing on a raft!.

There's also the song, Rolling Down the River!. Can't remember the woman's name who sang that, but probably have been several who've sung it!. "Rolling" and "Down" would be easy; "River"--well, not as easy, but maybe watery & winding motions would do it!.

Otherwise, I'm guessing you wouldn't want to do "Kiss Me Kate!." Might be easy, though!. Rhymes with "ate!." You could also look at a list of Broadway titles or old well-known Beatles songs or maybe that old rock n roll classic, "Great Ball of Fire!." Was that Jerry Lee Lewis!? (Big ball & striking a match!?) "Summertime," another classic sung by several people over the years, could be fanning yourself & pointing to the sun, following by pointing to a wristwatch!.

Depends on what you like!. Look in a mirror or try several out with a roommate or friend, & your friend will help you decide which makes you look like a good actor!. Watch your friend try some, too, & see which ones are good & which ones look stupid or are hard to guess!. Have fun!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

try acting out a book!. a dr seuss book would probably be the easiest!.!. like hmmm the foot book!? that one should be great!. good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
