I am taking a course in Americal Sign Language this semester and I have a project due at the end of the semester. Here is the gyst of the assignment:
I have to use sign language to direct a fellow student (with no prior coaching) through step-by-step directions to complete a task. We can do just about anything we want (except no food, drink, hot or dangerous devices) and it has to be at least five minutes in length. We can use any form of non-verbal communication and we cannot use any writing, speaking or fingerspelling.
My topic is due September 28th. I want to do something original, yet still simple enough to get someone to easily understand what I want. I already have a couple of ideas. I was thinking of bringing in a "diaper bag" and a baby doll and having them feed and change a baby. I am also in judo and I was thinking of directing them on how to do a kneeling bow.
I thought I would ask around here to see if any of you would like to contribute any interesting ideas.

First off, let me say this sounds like fun.
I'd suggest doing something we take for granted, like asking a child to perform a simple task or wrapping a gift.
The previous answer of setting the table is an excellent idea.
Whatever you do, try to keep the props at a minimum.
