Jobs and Hobbies

Dress in the uniform of a particular job, hobby or service. Put on some camouflage gear and become a soldier. Slap on a lab coat and carry a stethoscope to become a doctor. Wear a football uniform, complete with pads and a helmet to become a football player. Likewise, get creative to put an unusual slant on your uniform. For example, spill some fake blood on that lab coat and carry a fake saw to become a deranged surgeon.
