Communication challenge

Today In science class we were doing this challenge where we partner up with someone and one of us goes down one hundred metres. To the other side of the field and  try to communicate with our own hand signs while the other person has to try and guess what the other person is saying and I got YMCA but the real word was white out.
I think we could do a bit better next time and make bigger signs next time.
