Variations
• Get students to colour the pictures in afterwards like a colour dictation, for example, colour the roof of the house green, colour the door of the house red, or get students to label different objects by writing the name of the object underneath it, such as house, bird etc.
•You can also get students to write a description of the picture afterwards.
•Another good variation is to give students a list of objects and get them to draw their own pictures with all those objects in them. ◦The students then work in pairs. One student describes their picture to their partner and their partner draws what they hear.
◦They then swap roles and afterwards they compare the pictures they drew with their original drawings pointing out the differences and usually having a giggle.
