Antwoord
- He broke his leg (explain that bruises are blue and yellow – you get one if you hit your knee; make a cracking noise to show break a leg)
- I tore my knee ligaments (footballers tear ligaments – which are on the sides of your knee – when they twist the knee in a tackle)
- She knocked herself out (mime banging your head but staying conscious, and banging your head and knocking yourself out)
- I broke my ankle (show a twisting movement in your ankle and make a cracking noise to show break – if footballers twist their ankle, they can’t play for a month, but if they break it, it’s the end of the season)
- She drowned (lose consciousness = be knocked out; drowned means she died in the water)
- He was killed (mime losing an arm)
