When the player comes back in they have to guess why they were fired by watching others act out the CCTV evidence.<\/p>\n<h2>Example<\/h2>\n<p>Boss: I&#8217;m sorry but I&#8217;m going to have to fire you. What you did is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Employee: What did I do?<\/p>\n<p>Boss: You know what you did, we&#8217;ve got it on CCTV. You were caught in the act, look!<\/p>\n<p><em>Other players mime reason for being fired<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Employee: I didn&#8217;t know that vacuuming your sister&#8217;s elephant was against the office rules!<\/p>\n<h2>Teaching Purpose<\/h2>\n<p>This is a fun game that helps teamwork. Although it looks as though there is conflict between the employee and the boss, the whole group are working together to entertain the audience.<\/p>\n<p>The colleagues have to support each other to create the mime, which in turn supports the employee. Even if the employee&#8217;s guesses are wrong, it&#8217;s entertaining. The aim isn&#8217;t to get it right first time!<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Tips for Playing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The boss can give verbal hints to help out!<\/li>\n<li>Encourage the audience to &#8220;ooh&#8221; and clap when they&#8217;re close to getting the answer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Variations<\/h2>\n<p>Also see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hooplaimpro.com\/resource\/late-for-work\">Late For Work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Show Introduction<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;This is called CCTV.
