What is pantomime?

Pantomime is when people tell stories using just their bodies and faces, without speaking or singing.

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to act out your favorite story, but you can’t use any words, only moves and expressions. That’s like pantomime! It's like telling a joke by making funny faces or pretending to be a dinosaur by stretching your arms and legs like a robot.

In pantomime, actors use big movements and clear expressions so the audience can understand what’s happening. Think of it like drawing with your whole body, you make shapes in the air, jump around, or act out a fight by making pretend punches!

Pantomime is fun because it's like telling a story using just play and imagination. It’s especially popular at the theater during holidays, where people dress up as kings, queens, and even ghosts, all without ever saying a word!
