"All children love balloons, so we're going to make a mime balloon. First, we have to make mime pocket. I take my hand and it's flat. I put it over my hip. See the cross action, so it looks like I have a pocket here. I'm just rounding it slightly. I take my other hand, and now I have to reach inside the pocket. You notice my hand is really going past my pocket. They can have a little picture inside the pocket. I look around with my fingers. Pull it out. How do we know that's a balloon? Very similar to the apple, a balloon has an action that other things don't have. You stretch the balloon. You stretch it. We have to form the pocket, put our hand in there, and look around. My balloon. I'm ready to blow it up."
