Mimes can also be used as creative and engaging teaching aids to teach the English language in the areas of vocabulary development/ communication skills, etc.
I think it’s best to understand your students level and needs first then move on to the creativity part. However, interactive tools like games, role plays and relating the topic to their interests really does the trick.

The best approach is to expose students to the what conditionals are through explanation. Explain all the types of conditionals providing examples for each. Then the details of the structure of each type of conditionals would better come last, then strengthen understanding by having the student produce written and spoken language. Lastly, expose them to more reading and real life listening examples regarding this, sometimesas homework. To gauge their understanding of the structure, give fill in exercises.
